Sometimes your router might be hiccuping so to speak, and everyone loses their connection at the same time, since Fiesta is sensitive to that. It's possible that you're overloading it, I'm not completely sure, but that's where I recommend you look.

One thing you can try is start, run, cmd, in the window type ping www.google.com -t. That sends a ping out to googles page and tells it not to stop. Wait a while and then hold down ctrl, and hit pause break key. Scroll back up and look at the response. You are looking for packets lost. If you have any there you are losing connection to the internet. ( I use google because it is constant and you shouldn't lose packets at all). If you are using a router disconnect the router from modem and connect directly to your system and retry test. If packets are lost call isp and them to test you connection. ( to many different things they can test for to name here for different connection types.) If packets are not dropped it could be the router. If you think it is you can always reset the router but be aware when you reset the router you will have to set it back up. If you are on cable it might mean just letting it connect if you are on unbridged dsl the same but if your on a bridged dsl you will have to setup the pppoe connection again.

I hope this helps.

One other thing before you try all this. Sometimes the modems because " Stale " and need a soft reboot. That means unplugging the modem, waiting a few moments and pluggin it back in. Sometimes a soft reboot doesn't work and it needs a reset on modem. Before resetting modem best to call isp to make sure you understand everything you need to get it back up and running. If unbridged dsl you will have to set the modem back up with the username and password if bridged dsl or cable you shouldn't have to do anything unless it is a cable modem the needs a username and password ( not many but some still use this). You can try this first before doing anything but the ping test if you like.

It could just be that your net is weak, Granted Flash is correct. Could also be various smaller programs in the background. that need internet access and are hogging it.

like if you're running X-Fire, Anti-Virus, IRC, MSN, AOL, etc, it could cause you to d/c after a while. I'm not saying that's the case but it is something to look out for.

Also YOUR computer - is it connected directly to the modem or going via a router/switch?

This is something new to me. Thanks!

Now I know it's not my internet connection when I lag.

In which case, it's your computer that is lagging. Your computer lagging can also D/C you, for some strange reason.
