Consistently Timing Out

[mnemonikos82]

Hi, I am consistently timing out on EQ 1999.

About 2-10 minutes from zoning into the world my latency bar slowly but consistently starts to drop from 100% to 0% and then I get booted to the log in screen. It's been happening all night and I've tested the connection on my end and it "seems" to be working just fine. When I restart EQ I usually buy myself an extra couple of minutes, but it happens no matter which character or which zone I am in.

Someone in IRC suggested I open a command line and do 'ping google.com', 'tracert eqemulator.net', and 'tracert www.project1999.org'

The results in that order were:

Those tests were being run right before and during the timeout.

Can anyone help. I just started playing this week and I really want to play.

*EDIT*
I should add, that I played on Sunday for 5 hours without an issue.

Thanks!
