Hi

I play games alot, specifically HL related games like CS. When I use the steam server search(or any server search software), I manage to get a full search of servers, I get roughly 1000 servers listed, I can then connect to a game and play, but when I refresh the list of servers they just all die and timeout. Then I fire up firefox and try to search the net but that times out too. everything ele that requires a net connection doesnt work, except connections that are already open, such as IRC, ventrillo or an internet stream radio. The only solution is to reboot my router, which is a 3Com SecureRouter. I have tried all manner of settings in the routers config and even turned of the firewall but I get the same result. I cant even connect to the routers config page to view the logs

Ive got ntl 1.5 meg and WinXpSP1. does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
