I saw in a thread previously you where using a laptop. Some laptops shut off there network cards when they goto sleep or screen saver mode or something like that.

Hmm interesting. I have made sure I'm being bad for the environment and leaving the screen on. No screensaver, just as if I was sat here at the computer.

My ISP isn't great, but its not in the habit of disconnects like that. I'm on a wired (ethernet) connection so it's not a wifi issue. There was one case earlier where I was actually sitting here and the game dropped me to the desktop... the screen was minimized, but having already kicked me when I left the screen open earlier on I figure its not to do with an open or minimized window.

The other thing...when I play I don't get disconnects. Quite puzzled by it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
