Login nightmare

[Diogene]

It's been a month i'm having problems with login. I'm getting mad.
Sometimes i log in fine, play few hours, and the next day, it's just impossible to access the server select screen. Later on (3 days after) i log on fine and fast.

I've checked everything, from eqhost file to firewall settings, router etc...

I live in New Caledonia, close to Australia, has the distance something to do with it?

Well, i'm a little lost there. If any of you experiencing same problems, please post, and if someone got an idea about it... please say!
