This really should be in tech discussion, but if you try the things everyone is suggesting you should fix your problem (ie, try the various quad core fixes, definitely better to run eq off one core in general, and try the fixes posted above in regards to setting compatibility for *everything*, and allowing exceptions in any and all firewall programs your running. I would also suggest setting up eqgame.exe to run without needing the launcher, simply add -patchme to the end of the target line on the eqgame.exe shortcut, this way, the only program you are using to run eq is eq)
If you've done all this and it's still not working, please see my tech discussion FAQ, try everything listed there (whether its in regards to your issue or not) and then go ahead and post a new thread in tech discussion and we will see if we can't dig up an answer.
I'm pretty confident that if you do everything talked about in this thread, however, that you will fix your problem. Make sure all your drivers are updated as well (including your netcard)
