Disconnection problems

[Kubotai]

Hello,

My problem is really weird so let me explain it (i'm a newbie at server/connection problem).
My connexion is kinda unstable but allows me to play decently (i ran around 150 ping).
However i have the following recurrent problems :

- I'm getting some problems while zoning and need to reboot frequently, this is not crashing (i have solved this problem already by running EQ as a win 98 programm) but more disconnection.
At some hours, i can't connect myself although my internet is working well (i'm stuck at the login screen, and i got the message a connection could not be reached though at the same time i can run youtube and other stuff in my computer). I tried to change the eqhost file as stated in the forums but it did not work.

-I'm also getting the inverse situation, that is : my internet is almost not working : i can barely load pages on wiki for example but at the same time EQ is working perfectly.

Of course, sometimes, both eq and internet are working fine. Also, everytime i stay in a zone, i never get disconnected.

I'm playing from Europe (France to be precise), i think this might help and i hope some of you can provide me good advices and explain me the reasons of this.. Thanks in advance.

EQ takes up almost no bandwidth but it does care about the order the packets arrive in. If there's a routing issue between you and the P99 server, you're going to have a bad time.

Look into a VPN service that has nodes in the NorthEast US and your experience should improve. Or, try connecting from a friend's house or use a hotspot that uses a different ISP to rule out any issues on their end.
