Mine doesn't crash it just gives me that bad connection symbol for awhile and then disconnects me and boots me back to the server list.

Hmm... every time I do the tracert it goes to the tenth level and then stops and the tenth level is always the same: so-5-2-0.core1.cob1.uclo.de [85.14.194.34]
Once again I know very little when it comes to networks and such so I have no clue if that even makes a difference.

Ok I'll keep trying things out...if I figure it out I'll post something so there's at least a quick answer for the next Vista Victim.

And nope...no unusual processes.  Still think something's just blocking the signal somehow...trick is figuring out what.

Ping is just timing out.

Tracert is getting 10 levels and then timing out 11 on.

Turned Windows ...
