I had a similar problem today, but mine involved hanging and crashing. The server is up, but my client reports that \"[t]he time is now -15 o\'clock.\" The in game interface never initializes for me, and I sometimes see a piece of toolbar flicker. If I click where the toolbar should be, then I have a segmentation fault.
But I also have been having strange networking issues. Today I keep getting \"error 14\" when I try to connect to MSNIM.
