If it seems to happen about every 60 seconds or so you probably have TCP/IP
installed in networking and it goes out and searches for a DHCP server every
60 seconds. This usually only happens if you have a Network card in your
machine. You can fix this by removing TCP/IP from the Network card (not a
good ideal if you are using the Network card for Internet, probably not
unless you are connecting with ISDN or cable modem) or you can request a
static IP from your ISP if you are using the Network card or you can create
a profile that disables the Network card for gameplay (probably the
easiest). If you have any specific questions about this, feel free to
e-mail me. This really sounds like the problem you are having.
Hope this helps,
