Hello all you gaming gurus out there. I was wondering if I might be able to pick at your brains for a sec.

I'm having connection problems with a new linksys befsr41 router that I recently purchased. As it is right now I'm able to connect to the internet and able to log into "Everquest" the game I seem to be having trouble with. So I'm able to log in and everything seems smooth but I keep getting kicked from the game every half hour to and hour on the dot. I'm wondering if there is some place with a timer or something??

What I've recently changed on my system is added the new router to share the internet connection and upgraded to WinXP Pro from Win98SE. Before I was using software and my comp like a router and everything was fine. Now, with the changes everything seems fine till the half hour to an hour mark of being online.

Any info to this problem of mine would help set my mind at ease.

Are you using outlook express for your e-mail? If your e-mail is set to check every half hour it can disconnect you.
If so , in outlook express,go to Tools>options>connections and uncheck the box that says hang up after sending and recieving.
