Fix for some "Lost connection", "server disconnect" errors.
I found that if you reduce the MTU size for your internet connection to 1400(you should know how to do this!). , it not only greatly reduces lag during game play, it helps to speed up your internet connection of up to to 20%, and gets rid of almost every disconnect error. (the ones that generally happen quickly or after a few games played. Let me explain. When you reduce the MTU, which is generally thought to be set at 1500,the max to be normal. That is true when you have just one PC hooked up to your connection. But when you have more than one at the same time it causes layers of data, when the MTU is set, in that case they tends to be a lot more packet loss and packet collisions during data transfer. Therefore more disconnects etc... So set it to 1400 **NO LESS**, you will notice the differance.
P.S. IF you try this, please let me know how it worked for you, cuz I know this worked well for me and many others, but not for everyone. An IT friend of mine recommended it to me to help the disconnection errors I've been getting a lot.
