Login issues + more

[mreynert]

Honestly that wouldn't surprise me...if I had a fiver for every time I've called and yelled at my ISP down here I'd be able to afford a nice new computer.

Forcing a specific DNS server seemed to help a bit and allow me to connect more often, but I'm crashing out of EQ on zoning a lot...like the connection dropped during the zone and it can't find the next one over.

Normal websites were working normally, but sometimes a bit slow. I really hope it's just not my ISP failing because they do that way too much...makes me glad I don't live here anymore but I had to come back down for the weekend to take care of some things for my family. If that's the issue, which it very likely may be, I guess I'll just have to deal with it til I can get back home, was hoping it'd be something more workable though.

I am having issues reaching the login server.
I can not see port 5998 open anyway, but I can ping the server.

Are you running Windows 7? If so, have you forwarded the port in Windows Firewall, or tried to disable it? If your running Windows 7 and have tried both and still have issues, try installing Zone Alarm free edition, thats the only thing that worked for me on Windows 7.

XP still. Firewall is disabled on windows completely...thing is more of a pain than use anyway.
