Every time I play a game, I'm able to o things for a good 5 minutes, then all hell breaks loose and the server freezes for me and then connection fails. This problem started yesterday. I'm not sure at all why it happens but it does...Can anyone help me out with this?

Does this only happen on a specific server, or is it a rather global problem? Some more information on your system might come in handy as well.

When I try to move around on all games, it's quite laggy, I've experienced the connection failing on 2 servers only though(two different games).

As you have not provided any information on your system/computer, diagnosing the issue is impossible.
When you ping the server (not through BYOND), what results are you facing?

You are supposed to ping a specific server, as the help for ping suggested to you. Join one of the BYOND servers, read the IP, then ping it and check for results.

Future posts of this type really belong in the BYOND Help forums.

I would suggest your Internet connection is the first place to look, if this is happening in many games. It could be a function of which games you're playing, but if you're experiencing dropped connections that's usually at your system's end. If you're using a wireless router, I'd suggest making sure your signal strength is good and that it stays steady; I've always found them to be incredibly flaky.

Well, my ISP came today to check out the problem, he changed the modem(I got a new one now) and the problem still carries on...The thing about it is, I don't get signed out of MSN/AIM...Instead I just get kicked off the server constantly due to my connection failing. Any advice?
