Well, then there are 2 other things I can think of to check for now. First, what type of internet connection do you have? If it is dialup, then you might need to adjust your datarate. I think you have to create a file to do that, but I don't know the specifics on that one offhand. You can probable search the forums for datarate or something to figure that out. The thing is to make sure you aren't running any P2P or Torrent programs. If something is hogging up your connection, then you will be plagued with connection issues on the emu. The P2P programs are particularly bad about this. If you aren't running them on your own PC, make sure that no one else in the house is. You can probably do a speed test at

You can still run P2P or Torrent programs on your PC if your internet connection is a good one, but you will have to tweak the settings to save some bandwidth for EQ. Also limiting the max number of connections P2P uses helps a TON.
