Sorry for the double post - I didn't see a way to edit my previous post.

Can some others having a problem with the login server try a tracert command from the command prompt and paste it here? And maybe we can compare with a tracert from somebody who has a non-blank server select screen?

The request times out after reaching 144.121.7.234.lightower.net. Based on the IP address, this seems close to reaching login.eqemulator.net [144.121.19.169] but doesn't quite make it...
