Sorry, asking this for a friend (for obvious reasons if you read on), not many details to be had.

mikeymoo says (12:43 PM):
*how's your home internet?
XXXX says (12:44 PM):
*well its like so confusing
*on how it works
*I cant surf the net
*like for more than a minute
*then it dies
*then I have to reset the connection
*I can play poker fine
*(as long as it lets me log on)
*I can skype fine
*I can play bw
mikeymoo says (12:44 PM):
*hahaha oh gawd
XXXX says (12:44 PM):
*but when I play BW on iccup
*after 4-5 minutes into the game
XXXX says (12:45 PM):
*it says that I turn a hack on or something
*and gives me auto loss
*then when I leave the game
*it drops me from b.net\
*but on regular b.net gateways I'm fine
*It
*It's really really weird
XXXX says (12:46 PM):
*so if you want to figure out the problem
that'd be great
*

*I think it's gott-a have something to do with my IP
*and ports being blocked
*or something

...

mikeymoo says (12:50 PM):
*you're running wireless at home, right?
XXXX says (12:50 PM):
*yup
mikeymoo says (12:50 PM):
*what router?
XXXX says (12:52 PM):
*mmm I'm not sure
*my ISP is comcast
*its just some router they gave us
*it says comcast on it
*

Any ideas? He's not at home right now so he can't try any suggestions, but we were hoping that this might be a common problem.

Thanks.

Mike

I'm not sure at all, but my guess would be some kind of spyware/malware rather than a problem with the internet connection itself. If some applications run fine, that means it's probably not an inherent problem with the router hardware or establishing a connection to the ISP. ICCUP anti-hack detecting fishy behavior while b.net not complaining is another decent indicator to me.

Tell him to run spyware/virus scans.

I agree malware is the most probable cause. Or possibly a buggy firewall.

Lies are news and the truth is obsolete ⋮-)

I'm leaning towards firewall setup, but also sometimes those AV programs can be a little overzealous.

besides the above comments which are probably correct, has he messed around with msconfig or tried disabling any startup items / services? I disabled a service i shouldnt have a while back and it caused really similar problems
