Follow up to my previous post.
After reading cdfurry comment about a VPN fixing his issue, I thought I would try a few things and it does appear that a VPN can be a "work around".
If you use a VPN, you will still time out if you use the "Login" button which seems to go through the EQEmu login server.
However, if you use the "Quick Connect" button to your server (I did Blue) I was able to connect directly twice. If I turned off the VPN, I could no longer connect. Turning VPN back on allowed me to connect again.
FYI - not sure if this is relevant, but my VPN was running through Chicago.
Like I said before, I dont know much, but did some LAN stuff like 20 years ago. If anything I said is wrong, please correct me as I dont want bad information out there, but I do want to let people know it CAN work.
