Constant LDs

[Xate]

I was doing great this morn but now I'm going LD every 2 to 3 mins in game.

Any suggestions on what is causing this and how to fix it?

There are many things that could contribute to that.. But off the top of my head, the first thing you should play around with is the value inside of datarate.txt in your EQ directory.

I searched around other forums and found the datarate thing. Going to try setting it to .5 instead of 10 and see how it goes. Thank you.

I've tried playing with my datarate.txt file, and the constant LD's continue... :(

Set your router DMZ to your internal IP address. That fixed me.

A_guest, could you please elaborate a little? I don't know much at all about routers and such heh, how would I go about setting my router DMZ to my internal ip address? And which of my ip's is the internal one?

[a_Guest03]

I logged into my router (had instructions), and changed the setting to my internal IP, available by opening a dos prompt and typing ipconfig [enter].
