Lag with low latency?
Hello all!
I've recently started a second server as I am away from home, and wanted to run one from my laptop. Everything set up just fine, I can log in and play with absolutely no problems, over the eqemulator public server (how I love and cherish it so!). However, my boyfriend, who sits right next to me, on the same connection, has some strange lag problems. This only happens on my server, not any other server we have tried.
Interestingly enough, he has lower latency than me :] (20ish)
The symptoms are: Inability to loot, inability to target (kind of spotty), inability to attack or cast, inability to interact with merchants or through hails/text triggers. If he casts, his spell gems go on cooldown, but nothing happens. It's as if he can start actions, but not complete them. The spikes can last up to 5 minutes or so, and even when they last until he logs out, he never goes LD or gets disconnected, but sometimes his client hangs when he camps, and he never gets back to the character select screen. His latency never gets higher than normal, never spikes high or anything, so I'm completely stumped.
I've searched the forums, and I apologize if this question was answered somewhere, but I couldn't find it! Thanks for reading!
