Hi i have a good feeling that when i play an online game such as age of empires or fifa 06 ect the other computers on my network dont work, the internet we share seems to get unconnected for them. Im not sure if this is why, but it only seems to happen when im playing a game does anyone have any ideas or have u ever heard of this before.
