<div class="IPBDescription">My game opens Dail Up Connection when loading</div>So in short, I have the DC icon when joining a server within 10 seconds.
I also have my client minimizing when loading and I get a pop up regarding Dail Up Connection

Are these related?
Can I fix it?
P.S. Thomson router fix doesn't work since I can't connect to telnet via LAN
Thanks

You should contact customer service of your router's system. If you are Sky customer, there already is a thread on this: <a href="http://bskyb.lithium.com/t5/Sky-Broadband-Gaming/The-Cause-of-the-High-Pings-TS3-etc-issues/td-p/529736/page/22" target="_blank">http://bskyb.lithium.com/t5/Sky-Broadband-.../529736/page/22</a>
As for why the dialog pops up, its because you have the setting "Dial whenever a network connection is not present" enabled. This means that when your internet disconnects, Windows will try to do a manual dial-up connection using your phone modem which is connected to the system. However, you do not have any connections configured and therefore the dialog pops up requesting for your settings.
The network disconnects because your router cannot handle or is blocking the flood of UDP packets, which is a known issue with thomson routers and sky customers.
KPN, it's dutch

I do have a Thomson 789vn router, so that's right. I mananged to play a round once by 'retry'ing like 5 times. After trying that again it gave either Server Full, or Authentication Failed. Will this issues be looked into, else I will never be able to play..?
