We are having a problem related to playing games on line. Our DSL is being interrupted. Can you suggest a cure

Question

WE are running XP SP2 on a modern Dell accessing the net on DSL through Bell South with a modem connected via our ethernet port. The games play fine. If my teens do not play games such as Blizzard's games or Maple Story we never have a problem. Go online either IE or AOL and do what you want, etc. However, if they play one of these games using AOL or IE (I've had them try both) and then close the game about 75% of the time one of the following occurs. 1. Whoever trys to logon gets a message that (paraphrased) "Your system cannot conect to the internet" or 'your internet connection has been lost' or 2. We get on the internet but sometime during a session the connection will be terminated and then the message comes on when you try to log in again or use IE. The only 'fix' I have been able to find is to restart the PC. I don't go back to an old set point or anything. Just restart and all is well. Can anyone tell me how to prevent this or fix it easier? Thanks

I appreciate your effort, however we are not having game play problems or disconnects then playing Starcraft and Warcraft or a couple of others. This occurs AFTER we log off those games and then log in or access the web for something else, like reading email or participating in chats or forums. Or just logging in again. It is as if something that is a part of the game log off and close procedure is uninstalling our system's modem software or changing ports or something. I don't know........

Answer 1

When you shy Blizzard, your talking about WOW or Diablo? The DSL disconnect duo to a loss in speed of the modem is the easy part. The game WOW is keep on a server located at blizzard's head-quarters, so its not your computer. Keep your DSL modem out were you can see it. It should have 5 lights, the first 4 will be on all the time, and the 5th should be blinking when you are connected. If any are red, it's your Internet connection suppler. For the disconnect during game play, it happens. To much to process.
