Login Server Down?

[TetsuoK]

I took the final plunge.

After numerous work arounds. reconfigurations of the router, or the gateway, linetests, speed tests, variations between my vista machine and my xp machine, I have reformatted my XP (problem) machine.

I was due for one for the past year; its been 3 reinstalls of XP, 2 years, and 1 memory and harddrive upgrade since I've done it last.

So far, i'm installing all drivers from the bottom up, and we will see where it goes from there. I'll post a final update the moment after i press "login."

It worked. the format helped the zone death/etc.

I also plugged my computer directly into my router as opposed to using wireless, and the problems are now virtually 0.

Kind of a shame, because i hate wires going around the apartment. but oh well. It fixed the problem entirely.

i went through and tried everything that was posted here and a few other threads (specifically http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/showthread.php?t=25327) and still not allowing me to login to server select.

i just got a new computer and have everything setup and i get as far as the login. my other computer is not having any problems.

disable firewall, changed exceptions for which programs allowed etc.

i also use WinEQ2 and have tried it with and without this (just using the shortcut with "patchme" and setting compatability) and changing affinity on eqgame.exe to cpu0. boooooo :(

my only stab in the dark guess is it might have to do with my computer sending/recieving information from the login server (duh?) but im using same connection as i was on prior computer and was not having this issue (except when others were aswell when login server was down/bad)
