Just about everytime I zone, I get disconnected and kicked to the login screen. This has been happening way more than it should (as in EVERYTIME I zone). Also, my lag-o-meter keeps going really low into the reds and yellows acting like I'm about to get disconnected, but i never do, my character just lags. I'm pretty sure it could be do to my connection (56k ;( ), but i have a few friends that are also playing in my area with the same connection, that don't lag at all and play just fine.

My system specs are:
Windows XP: Pro
1023 MB DDR Ram
AMD 64 3400
GeForce FX 5950 Ultra
56K Modem

Do you have a router/firewall?

Nope, I have my firewall turned off.

Is this still happening, and are you on a different ISP than your friends?

Yep, it still happens EVERYTIME I zone, and I am using the same ISP as two of them.

I must say, it sounds a lot like a router problem.

How would I go about fixing that?

You can try this (http://help.station.sony.com/cgi-bin/soe.cfg/php/enduser/std_alp.php?p_page=1&p_prod_lvl1=&p_prod_lvl2=&p_cat_lvl1=&p_cat_lvl2=&p_new_search=1&p_search_type=search_nl&s_sort_by=dflt&p_search_text=router)
If that doesn't work, try putting your computer in the DMZ zone and see if that fixes anything (though it should only be used to test if it works or not).[/url]
