Hi, I've been trying to figure this out for over a week, but no luck. I reformatted yesterday so that may be able to help simplify things. When using the internet (both browser and games), the internet seems to disconnect. I use FireFox, and the internet is wireless. The symptoms are "Connection Has Timed Out" error in browsers, and being logged out of my game (ATITD3). After maybe 5 seconds everything goes back to normal and I can refresh and log back in. But this happens relatively frequently, maybe every 5-20 minutes.
