Things to check are that no-one in your house is running BitTorrent at the moment, or otherwise running a large download that is saturating your Internet connection. The UDP protocol used by EQEmu can be sensitive to packet-loss, especially it seems, the login server.

To see if you are getting packet loss, you could open a command prompt and execute
Code:
ping -l 1400 -t www.eqemulator.org
and let it run for a while.

If your DSL/Cable link is not busy, there could still be issues at your ISP or other networks between your ISP and the login server.

If you are using wireless, try a hard-wired connection to your router, if possible.

Thanks, I didn't think to run a ping test. I did have Bit Torrent up earlier but it had been closed for about 30 minutes before I tried to log in and hadn't been downloading/uploading since last last night.

Ping test appears to have been running fine. No time outs or fluctuations in response time. Overall it held pretty solid.

However, still now dice on connecting. Going to reboot and see if that helps. Everything else is running flawlessly. lol


EDIT: After restart still no dice. Ran a speed test also showing everything as normal from my ISP, 20meg down and about 1.5meg up. I'm at a loss at this point.
