problem with isdn and gamespy

this is a copy of a post in the ISDN forum:

I play an online game called Neverwinter Nights, it uses Gamespy to connect to the game servers and very, very often it fails to to connect, taking my connection down as well.

Its very odd, I'm with Claranet and their new number has been excellent on my modem, but ISDN can hardly connect to Gamespy. I've called BT and Claranet and they cant find anything wrong (no surprise there).

Again, whats strange is that it takes my connection down as well, I know its a long shot but if anyone has any ideas, I'd be happy to hear them.

BTW, no firewall, using USB. had ISDN installed yesterday (16/09/02), general sufing and NG's are unaffected.
 
Is this just happening when you do a refresh of the servers? as you could possibly be overloading the usb modem causing it to drop its connection.

just a thought.

well, the game does it automatically as soon as you log into gamespy (its an account based system) via the multiplay option in NWN.

edit: so USB can be overloaded? does this happen often and does it happen with PCI TA's?
