I found one possiable 'fix' to the problem of frequent disconnects or socket closed issue while playing Eve.

If a player has satellite television, cable, etc. where any modern is used for another service that is connected to the telephone line, installing a filter on the television/satellite/cable solved the problem for me.
The filters can be obtained from the ISP provider or an electronic store.

I'm not saying this is a 'silver bullet' for all disconnects.
This worked in my case.
May be something to examine if there is another modem, satellite t.v. or cable that connects to the telephone line.

Good luck.

Filter, as in - microfilter (AKA splitter) or a magnetic field dampener?

Filter as in DSL modem filter that complies with FCC Part 68 rules.
Most ISP's when they mail the customer a modem will include the filters.

I attached to any telephones.
However, some modems that ran other services (television..movies on demand..etc..) that included satellite or cable connection that has a telephone connection, I found also needed a filter in my particular case.

No disconnects after a week.

Again, this worked in my case and not saying it will work in all disconnects.

Something to examine.

Also ensure all connections at the service box are tight and line into the house is good.
I ran cat 5 line.

Call a tech to examine the line or call a tech if it is prohibited in your area from opening the box by the customer.
