Need help with closed socket issue

First off I am aware of the various threads about socket closed (packet loss) problems. Mine is very specific and I'm hoping maybe someone with far more knowledge than me may be able to help.

I have 2 laptops, both run EVE very well, but one is a much higher spec and resolution. The lower spec one never gets socket closed, the msi gx60 which has FAR better everything inside gets it everytime i log in, within 5 mins. CCP just redirect me to the thead about packet loss, but surely it cannot be my connection if I have a laptop that works fine over the same connection.

Ive tried the other port in the client (changing it from 26000)

Ive tried ethernet to see if the wireless was failing.

Ive stopped as many background processes as i think i can spare, including steam.

if it cant be my router, and cant be my wireless, is there something i am not thinking of that is obvious? Or just that I am not aware of?

I have no issues playing other games online, but I am aware that the eve client is very sensitive to the packet loss and its tolerance is quite low.

Any help, or just suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thank you in advance
