Anyone else getting booted from EVE every few mins at random?
My internet connection is fine (well, everything else works) and I am logged in backwater systems away from Jita etc.
Any help?
Cheers

Yes I am. But it could be for entirely different reasons. God, I hate computers. Some times of the day its fine. Some times I'll drop every few minutes like you suggest. But if I'm running two accounts (I use the same client; that might be very inadvisable but no one has ever told me why its a god idea to use two clients) its always the same account. I have no idea why. BTW I hate computers.
I'm also getting some run time errors and occasional BSODs.
Yup, I really hate computers

Yes terrible problems, started about 20 hours ago. Lots of disconnects and real problems trying to log back. Loses connection during log in.
Hope they sort it soon.

Well the same thing was happening to me. Except the loss of connection was typically really quick (withing first 10 minutes of logging in after character selection).
I chatted with some folks and we found that my router was using a non standard DNS server (OpenDNS vs the ISP's DNS). So that work a bit better and allowed me to go for about 20~30 minutes before loss of connection.
So then I tried running ping (with -t) while connecting to and playing Eve. See if there was something going on that was causing me to time out. Well as luck would have it, when ping continues to run, my client does not ever EVER drop out. So I shared this information with the folks in the in-game help channel and they made a few suggestions.
Sadly, none of their solutions (e.g. reinstalling network drivers, running a netsh reset command, reinstalling OS then reinstalling EVE) worked. So now I'm left with running the game after I start a continuous ping of Eve's servers. Kinda screwball way to approach it, but hey it worked for me.
And before CCP response with something like, you should do that continuous ping, well I've filed a petition and got ZERO response. So unless they have a better solution than what the in-game help channel offered, I'm going to have to play Eve with a random setup. Note, note of this happened before the Rev2 patch.

after being online for a few hours, suffered a random loss of connection, then the inability to get back on. managed to get on again, but after the character selection screen it just loses the connection again. repeat this several times and i'm not sure whether it's my connection or what...

Packet loss.
a ping -t eveservergoeshere in a CMD window should help you determine if your packets are getting lost in the ethernet.

But that's the hilarious thing. I don't show packet loss at all (well ok once every 30~50 or so pings) and each ping comes back under 100ms using the default packet size. Bumping the size up to 1024 increases ping to averages around 130ms but still...
Odd that the Eve is playable when I have ping going on the background but Eve losses connections left and right if I don't start a continuous ping beforehand.

i had the same bug, but not everyday. when it appears, then often. this might seem a bit strange, but maybe it's a feature (of some kind). maybe eve is disconnecting players which are afk for a while on purpose. although i cannot confirm this, because i was also disconnected not beeing afk at all. but sometimes, when i just sit and watch my skill training and not doing anything, eve disconnects me, even though eve continues to run, but at the very moment i type a message or do some other activity, i drop to desktop with "disconnect from the server". in my opinion the workaround with the ping command prevents eve from thinking that you are afk, and therefore you dont get disconnected (so often).
ps. first post, and my english isn't so good..
