Can't Play 5.2 servers

[Nightfall]

I have serioues connection issues as well. I used to be able to connect decently (except for a few stretches once or twice), but on tuesday I logged off and went to class, and I have not been able to log on since. About half the time, when I select a server (any server but BrightBlade) it boots me back to the login screen. On those occasions when it DOES load the world and get to the chara select screen, no matter what I do (deleting old chars and making new ones, etc) it always, once I select a char, beigns loading and then hangs up, causing me to eventually have to end task it. I have tried using EQW, and also just running EQ normally with patchme, and no differance. its frustrating as all hell, hehe. Oh, on the occasions where it doesn't let me connect to the server at all and just boots me back to login, when I DO log back in it gives me the little "Could not connect to EQ server, may need to re-run update patch, etc etc..." And before you ask, yes, I DO have ALL the EQ files for every expansion. Hopefully thats a good thing, :P.

Oh right. When I try to connect to BrightBlade, without fail (except ONE time), eqgame.exe crashes. ^^


EDIT: I am behind a network firewall somewhere, presumably, since I am on a college campus. Could that be the issue? I remember having similar problems back on my old computer in Utah as well, though.

EDIT EDIT: Oh, and I can connect to EQLive just fine. ^^;
