Anybody else seen this behavior?

I connect to the Internet via a broadband DSL connection. I've noticed that sometimes when after entering and exiting multiplayer mode that if I task switch back to the windows desktop (alt-tab) that the Internet connection has been closed and so I have to reconnect again. This wouldn't be such a big deal but the only way I found can get my Internet connection back is by rebooting the computer and then running the program that establishes the connection. The second problem may not be a problem with MA but the first part certainly is. It'd be nice if there was a way to fix this!

Apologies if this issue has already been addressed before, I looked but I couldn't see anything on this already...

What version of Windows are you using?

Have you tried doing a release/renew? (if Win9x/ME) or disabling and re-enabling the connection in Network Connections (if WinXP/2k)?



Me.

I'm using XP pro. Thanks. That's a good suggestion. I'll try that next time it occurs. The connection may not have been shut down properly so that could be why it can't reestablish the connection.

Can you tell I work in tech support?

Me.
