Started noticing this the other day when I was playing games.

My game would disconnect, then I would get kicked from TS/Vent. Then my messangers would time out. BUT, I was still able to surf the web. I tried disabling my connections, re-enabling them, unplugging our router, and lastly I switched the connection I used (my motherboard has 2 ethernet ports) The ladder seemed to fix my problems till today. Now switching ethernet connections won't even work.

One thing my roomate did was change the port used by AIM so now AIM works. Other then that, I'm basically in the dark. If you have any questions, please ask.

I want my Black Wing Lair loot!

Have you scanned for malware? Are you using something other than the windows firewall?

I've done HajckThis, cleared my start up, scanned for viruses. Windows Firewall is on (allowed expectations) I booted in safe mode, tried logging on other Computer Profiles.

Should I do trendmicro house call? I have AVG (Free Version - Updated)

Use mechBgon's McAfee DOS scanning procedure, you can find his posts about it all over this forum section.
