Have you tried opening a command prompt and running a ping to eqemulator.org? Not sure off hand if it blocks ICMP traffic, but it may so if you just get timeouts then I guess that won't help. Otherwise, if you do get responses, try an extended ping (using -t in windows) and see if you get frequent drops.
One thing that has resolved this issue in the past might be to try resetting your modem/router to factory defaults and then setting them up again. It doesn't happen on any of my recent linksys routers, but on my old one from like 5+ years ago I used to get an issue with NAT'd ports getting messed up and requiring a factory reset to fix. If you have any port range forwarding enabled on your router, you may be running into the same issue. If you don't use any port forwarding, then that shouldn't be a problem.
You might also try pointing your eqhost.txt file directly to 67.23.190.71 instead of eqemulator.org, because there could be a possible DNS issue with the ISP you are using.
