NAT.. Hmmm Trouble from the start
Here is the deal with the 10 min thing..
Your router that you are using has a problem with its Arp Cache. This has been addressed in most routers spcifically Linksys. which i am guessing that you are using.. Most probably with SBC (or some derivitive of) DSL. If you are please go and upgrade your code for the router.. it comes with the TFT program to get your code (firmware) upgrade to your router..
Second.. You may want to open up the ports section on your router. Ie Port forwarding. open up 1000 to 9000. this will open more then you need but hell it will do the trick to get you started.. NOTE: Yes you are behind a router using a local subnet on your local lan. Most Hackers will not bother with you as you really dont have anything they want.. so the ports being opened is not a prob.
Third.. If you are running a sever there should be a section in the Advanced portion of your setup that will be called DMZ host. This will allow one of your PC's on your LOCAL LAN to be in the DMZ. this will open him up to the world.. I suggest you have NA or some other Antivirus program up to date and it be a pretty strong PC. with lots of RAM.
Finally .. Relax and have fun .. Its only a Free Version of EQ, The most widely played MMORPG on the Planet.
HAHAHAHAH
