Hey there, sorry to saddle all of you with my petty problems. =P
Got a problem with my DSL home network, and it's driving me bonkers.
I have two desktops and two laptops on the network. The router is a LinkSys, the desktop ethernet cards are RealTek, and the laptops are SMC. For some reason, when I'm in EQ the desktops (and ONLY the desktops) experience frequent, and often coincidal, drops from the server. It's almost always out to character select, and almost always with no problem getting back in for another ten to fifteen minutes.
This happens whether or not I have both computers using EQ (i.e., I could be using *just* the second in Bazaar mode, or just the first hunting, or any combination thereof). The laptops, meanwhile, experience unbroken service throughout.
Desktops and laptops are using ZoneAlarm, but it only once caused me any problem before I set up the network, and I took care of that.
The best term I can use to describe these brief interrupts is a "hiccup". Anyone have ANY idea what could be causing it and how to fix it?
