[QUOTE="poopgiggle, post: 1333282, member: 6406"] Since routers have to maintain information about connection state for NAT, maybe the one machine is using up its allotment of some resource. That would explain why the one computer is losing its connection but the others aren't. I had a horrible D-Link router years ago with a similar problem. If this only happens when playing the MMO, it may have something to do with how the MMO's networking is implemented. Or the problem could be almost anything else. Support over the phone/Internet is really difficult beyond "try turning it off and then on again" because you have to get someone who doesn't do computers for a living to perform potentially complex troubleshooting and diagnostic tasks. My money is on "consumer-grade router giving consumer-grade performance" being the issue. [/QUOTE]
