hi,

i've looked through these FAQs but i can't seem to find anything to solve my problem. i enter a battlenet softcore ladder game on USWest, i'm in there for 30 seconds, my cd clicks and all of a sudden my "connection has been interrupted" and i'm back in the channel. absolutely any game i join it will occur. ive reset my router, stayed off the game for 30m-1 hour, tried diferent accounts, nothing. does anyone else experience this or does anyone else have ideas? thanks!

Do you have a mouse scroller? Is it set to a "very sensitive" setting?
Thats the only thing I can think of... Is that you're scrolling your skills to fast...

the funny thing is i'm not even scrolling my skills...
i have been offline about an hour now and if its still not smooth sailing tomorrow im just gonna give up for a week or something. i actually googlized this problem and others have had the same issue but nothing was resolved. someone even had this problem running for a few days =[ *sniffle*

[MASTEROFREALITY]

why when i get "Your connection has been temporarilly restricted from this realm" it lasts so long? its very annoying. used to be like 5 minutes restricion...always. and now it lasts for hours. basically, i know why im being restricted but why so long.

i think its like an unlucky lottery...

update on my case: i tried playing in a window which was something i had not tried and have not dropped out of idling game for at least 30 mins now. success!! but i hate playing in window i have poor vision. =\ ill settle though.

sucks though it decides to work when i should be in bed. i hope it works fine tomorrow when im not sleeping. =P
