Really insane login issue

[Splorf22]

So starting a few days ago I can no longer log in to the server. I can get through the password screen, but no servers show up, and I can't bypass that by going straight to P1999. This was annoying, so I took a packet capture using wireshark. When I click on 'Follow UDP stream' (why on earth did the EQ developers use UDP and not TCP for their login server?) I get this:

The dots are unprintable characters, but the point is the login server is clearly sending my computer the information, i.e. the network really looks like its working, but nothing shows up!
