I also frequently get this problem (lag bar going up as soon as I log in, until it disconnects). I've found that starting up all the servers, then closing them down and starting them up again sometimes fixes the problem. However it is very annoying. Some versions of EQEmu seem to do this more than others.
Usually, for me, it either does this every time you log in or doesn't do it at all; however sometimes I start to go LD when interacting with a merchant.
