I keep getting randomly disconnected from several games/apps :S.


I get disconnected from servers in Trackmania. Happens about once every 15 minutes where it returns me to the menu and then tells me something about TCP not working, falling back to UDP. Very annoying when on a good lap!

This also occurs when I'm playing poker on Full tilt, I get these random disconnects every 15 or so minutes, which auto-folds the hands I am playing - even more annoying.

When I disconnect I don't loose my internet connection... just my connection to these apps. I think it also happens when I use yahoo messenger but I don't use that anymore.

I've tried forwarding the required ports on my router and using no forwarding at all... doesn't help, so I'm guessing the problem is related to some kind of network settings on my pc.

Any ideas?
 
Test with your PC connected directly to the modem (you'll need to disconnect the router and power off the modem for a minute or so before doing this). It's the first thing VM will ask you to do if you go to them for support.
