Thing is, CCP wont fix it, maybe they'll fix it just in time for the next major patch if we're lucky...

---

Thats not true Leviathan9, Just because ccp know they have broken something and have no clue how to fix it, im pretty sure they would have if they could.
Just because they can't fix it dont mean they don't want it fixed.

that probably why they keep asking their customers to talk to isp's so they can get some help.

So far I have gotten the spam disconnects to stop even though I set my router to allow 26000.

I use Windows Vista: Ultimate, Press Windows Key + R.
I put in: %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\CCP\EVE

I installed Eve on my E drive, so I looked for this directory: e_program_files_ccp_eve_tranquility
if its on your C drive, it'll be c_program_files_ccp_eve_tranquility. Click on the directory, then click on settings, then the prefs.ini file. Where it says port, change it to 3724 instead of 26000. Then start up your Eve client and you should be using the other port.

I STILL personally believe its CCPs fault, as I see my ping double once it hits telecity and even then it varies from 120-750.

For those of you that use routers - Make sure that your router is allowing 3724 & 26000 to your computer based upon what port you are using. It's really amusing though. After I got this fixed (I've had petitions open for a bit now), I set the rating to 0 and got a reply extremely quick. Found it funny Could just be coincidence

Well this probably won't help anyone, but just adding a bit of what happened with me into the mix.

I use an Aircard to connect to the internet, and it's connected to my PC via a USB cable. I was having these same random drops and "socket closed" as whats described on this thread.

The other night my printer (USB) ran out of paper, so I turned it off completely cause I was sick of the little green flashy light. Then I closed the Image Monitor that comes with the printer.

After turning off my printer and closing that software, my drops have gone away. Where before I would disconnected sometimes 5 or 6 times an hour I am down to 0. I can now once again play several hours at a time with no sudden drops.

Maybe it was a USB resource conflict, maybe it was a conflict with the HP Image Monitor Software, or maybe it was a problem with the HP printer itself. I don't know, all I know is once the printer and that software is gone, everything is fine.

Oh, and just like everyone else I was only losing connection to EVE, not Ventrillo or anything else, and it started in force after the last major software update.

Just wanted to throw that in the mix.
