Can't connect to server

[joe426]

So this weird problem just started happening yesterday after months of having no problems...

I load up the EQ client and type in my username and password. Then it says loading please wait for few seconds and comes back with "A connection to the server could not be reached. Please check your internet connection to make sure you are online"....so I click OK and it seems like eventually I keep trying and it lets me in.

Then if im lucky enough to get to server select screen, ill select P99 and when i press Play Everquest, it waits a few seconds(the expansion list stops moving for a second, then starts moving again) and i get an error message "An unknown error has occured". Again, i keep trying and it will eventually let me through....

If im even luckier to get to character select screen, ill choose my character and press enter world. The screen freezes here and doesnt load anymore. If im lucky, sometimes after waiting 5 minutes it lets me in.

IF I get passed that and am in game, i have 2000ms+ ping and constantly dropping connection.

This problem ONLY happens with EQ. I can watch 1080p videos on Youtube and access all other websites perfectly fine.

Ive tried using my universities wireless and ethernet connection and both have same problems...

Any suggestions?
