Hey everyone,

Well, I have NEVER had connectivity issues with this game. Until Tuesday that is. I keep being disconnected constantly from the game and being told I have "timed out from the PoL servers".

Now, any other applications I'm running in the background (IM programs, Filesharing or anything like that) have no problems, it seems to be just this game. I'm also having connectivity issues of the same nature with a secondary CPU that I have. My ISP said that everything is running smoothly from their end (Of Course), but its getting to the point where I get booted every 15 minutes!

So has anyone else experienced this problem? If so how did you fix it? Or any other technical type suggestions? 1.5 years playing this game with absolutely NO issues and now I can't even stay online for an hour straight :\

Any help would be appreciated thank you :D
 
has any new hardware/software been added recently?

getting booted every 15 mins, does other progs get disconnected also?
 
All my other programs stay online. As far as I know, I don't have a firewall unless it is built into my router. In any case, I don't understand how I can all of a sudden have firewall issues hit me when I haven't changed any settings or installed any new hardware/software.

Just a note: yeah.

There is a firewall (of sorts) built into your router. Technically its an NAT firewall, but that shouldn't really affect it too much.

Maybe try a firmware upgrade on the router, especially if its something like a linksys.

Also check for any nasties on your compy.
 
Router problem.

Try and borrow a friends.

You might not be noticing connectivitiy in your other programs because you don't use as much? Not sure just guessing now though.

Or maybe like it was said, you have a software firewall problem.
