My toon is able to move around, but NPCs do nothing when clicked, chat traffic vanishes, the Logout and Exit Game buttons do nothing, etc. If I wait long enough, I get a "Disconnected from server" error. Happens on all toons and on all realms where I have characters.

Third time is now. > > Anyone else seeing similar behavior? This happens ALL THE TIME, and it is a network issue... but I believe it is on blizzards part, We have Several WoW installs a Few on wine in FreeBSD 8 and 1 on a macbook pro (running native OSX Warcraft) and one on Windows xp. sometimes one these installs will drop connection with blizzards servers at what seems like random. all the other machines will be on and active no trouble. in summary, I believe this is not a wine issue I have seen it on OSX and Windows and wine.
