Get rid of eqemu, wineq2 and use the titanium.bat file in the everquest folder. right click create a desktop shortcut. then click the short cut do the whole windows XP services 2 compatibility. allow inbound and outbound in firewall and any other programs you use. I have not disconnected once. Those other programs they mention on the P99 forum are trash your essentially connecting into a server that connects to the EQ server. So theirs an extra hop on the network and if the service you signed into say EQemulauncher server is slow or has packet loss or low bandwidth your connection to the EQ server will be trash and unreliable. Do yourself an favor delete that junk and only launch from the titanium.bat file.

At the time this was originally going on. I attempted to use the bare client and WinEQ2. Also tried 2 computers within the same home network and a full reinstall of the client. None of those things worked for me. The only solution which did work was a VPN. I did not test running the client from a different ISP but I suspect it would have had the same effect.

Sometime between when I last posted in the technical discussion about this and about a week ago this problem magically corrected itself on its own. I haven't made any changes to my EQ install, still using WinEQ2, router config is still the same, etc.
