The game plays fine in single player mode, on each of the computers. But when we LAN, sometime around the digital or nano, we'll get the snail, then be dropped out. Not consistently or anything. Slow it to 0.5 and save frequently, and the game crashes rarely.

It doesn't really seem to matter if we're playing on any combination of our various Win7, WinXP, or Vista machines.

I don't think its the network protocols -- our other games do not crash out, nor does the old jewel copy of EE (without AoC).

Any suggestions?
