There seems to be a bug in Leopard concerning DHCP and auto DNS.
When I had set my router to allocate the DNS for my client machines (all 3 Intel Macs,all running Leopard),I would intermittently have network issues.
I manually entered my ISP¦s DNS in Networking/Choose appropriate connection/Advanced/DNS and behold,the problems are gone.
Apparently this might have also caused the infamous Eve freezing.
Would appreciate feedback if the workaround helped you.

I wonder if the freeze issue might actually be the same issue as the "lost connection" issue? Sometimes I get a freeze, and sometimes I'm kicked back to the login screen with a "lost connection" message. If so, I doubt it has anything to do with the network per se. Rather, it appears to be some bug in the client.

Ok,I think there are two kind of freezes really,one you can force quit out of,the other one locks up the machine completely.
The former just might be related to a couple of TCP settings that are changed in 10.5:
I have made a couple of changes according to various "well informed sources".
Step by step instructions:
--------------------
Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal
enter "sudo su" followed by an admin user¦s password
navigate to /etc "cd /etc"
enter "vi sysctl.conf"
copy and paste these lines to the new file:
net.tcp.sockthreshold=0
net.inet.tcp.sendspace=64240
net.inet.tcp.recvspace=64240
save the file by hitting ":" and typing in "wq"
reboot your Mac
------------------------
I do not have time for the long version and reasoning of/for this fix,but I believe it resolves the connectivity issues some people are having with 10.5 in general and Eve in particular.
As for the hardware lockups.....sounds like an ATI problem...as usual /sigh.

Are you talking about the "RWIN" settings?
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1199772
Apple is seeding 10.5.1 to developers, some issues concerning Airport should be fixed through this upcoming update.
However, the 'main' freezing issue is due to this transgaming-release, imho.
If CCP can't hire Mac developers, they should avoid using third-party technologies and then claim that "Eve has been released for Mac and Linux". This is somehow false advertisement.
CCP should say "Activate your account and you will get a free cider version".

Being an ADC member I know that and I will not comment on the quality of 10.5.1 :)
I am trying to narrow down the possible causes for the freezes/dcs and I believe they might be networking related.

ADC here :)
I did not test the game through Ethernet connection, yet. However I hope it's a network issue, but doubt it.
