Network Issues

[Farstar]

I cant play a game for longer than 10-15 minutes without getting disconnected from the internet, like everything drops TS, Steam, and the game. But I can stream video and use the internet without any other issues. Is there anything I should be looking at?

do you have any firewall turned on. Mine went crazy on me recently after an update.

Are you using a router? Sometimes low-end routers get gummed up during high-traffic usage. Try updating its firmware. Could also try calling your ISP to see if there are any network issues going on at the moment.

it seems that windows firewall turned itself back on again... thanks for all the help from everyone

If your running another proper firewall that can be an issue. I leave it on as I no longer bother to run machine local firewalls anymore.
