EQPacketFragmentSequence::addFragment(): buffer overflow

[Xasartik]

I've gotten this message several times since I started using ShowEQ the other day. Here are the logs from the terminal:

Search around and you will find some posts and solutions for the issue you are seeing. It is usually an indication that you are somehow missing packets (not using a true hub, machine not fast enough to keep up, not enough operating system network buffers, etc.)

I did a search and nothing came up for EQPacketFragmentSequence. addFragment is mentioned in one post but does not relate to this problem.

My linux box running ShowEQ gets the internet from the home network wireless router. I share this connection out the onboard ethernet and into another router which handles the DHCP to my windows machine running EverQuest. ShowEQ monitors eth0, the ethernet jack out.

This is not the same solution as a hub but it guarantees that all packets will pass through the linux box and is a friendly solution that does not disturb anyone on the home network.

The notebook ShowEQ runs on is a Core 2 Duo T9300 (2.5Ghz) and is using Fedora 9. It should be more than enough to handle ShowEQ.

You mentioned operating system network buffers? I don't know what these are. Could they be related to the problem?
