I am hopeful that putting each character on a separate box will help fix the disconnection problem some people who box on one machine are having. It sounds more server side though - if you send too much data through to WoWs servers, it disconnects you. It has always done that. Maybe they changed something with the code.... not sure but my experience was that it only did that on the same machine. Plus, I intend to spread my connection out across multiple internet lines. Not because I need to for bandwidth reasons - WoW uses less than 56kBITs per character up and down) but to help combat any localized lag, etc. If one connection lags, the others will take over seamlessly. Fairly simple load balancing and redundancy.

As for the following issue..... I am still well.. heh .... following this latest development.

Until I test it myself, I will be unable to truly judge it but normally I don't ever really blink or change speeds (like a druid, etc).

So we will have to see.
Boxing on the same computer makes the problem alot worse because when the window loses focus it really brings out the issue. Im using seperate computers myself im running the DGL-4100 router. I have yet to figure out exactly why /follow is lagging some of my characters and not others its quite the hassle. None the less I am fairly confident that if you did run them on seperate connections or even seperate IPs that the issue will probably never happen.
