    I have been play this game overnight and I think I have made it through the night 2 out of 30 days. It keeps disconnecting me from the server while others I game with stay connected. So I believe it is related to my ISP or my Router. Is there something I can test with my router to see it is working properly to maintain connection?

    Equipment:

    WRT54G v.2 (this is fairly old)
    Using the TOMATO Firmware
    COMCAST in North East as ISP
    Using Hard wire connection, not wireless

    I have had intermitent router issues where I have had to do a re-boot (basically a renew of the IP addres. This does not occur every time if disconnect)

    Thoughts?

    Are you diconnected from the Internet, or just your game? What game? What server? Can you convince your pals to test another server (if possible) and see if it duplicates?

    If it is a complete disconnect, are you getting disconnected from the actual router (do you still have a local connection) or are you disconnected from everything.

    What does event viewer say in computer management?

    If you can connect to your cable modem and access the modem log I would check for signal strength.
