I'm pretty much timing out everytime I try to enter a zone.  Usually I try to log in, hit enter world with a char, and it hangs until EQ dies.  The one time I've managed to get in, I was fine until I tried to zone, then timed out again.  Is this typical?
I have a fresh titanium install except with the 2 downloads required for P99, dual core but set the core affinity to one when I launch EQ.  I was just messing around on red69 with absolutely no problems, and it really seems to be a connectivity issue.  However, the server pop is at ~500 right now and I've seen it higher every night, so surely hundreds of people aren't playing and unable to zone and barely able to log in... Right?
edit:
Ok, I reinstalled and used duxa's whatever thing this time around, and things seem ok.  However, when I click on one of the smithing things, I get instantly disconnected from the server.  Working as designed?
edit 2:
I still time out randomly sometimes when zoning.
