Ok.  So since that 2nd to last update, I've had actually have demigod knock me off of the internet.  I'd be playing a multiplayer game and then suddenly drop (all humans but me replaced by ai).  After whining for a moment, I'd finish my game.  At end game screen, I'd lag out (couldn't do anything to exit) for about 45 seconds, then I'd be able to exit.  Well, today I noticed things in a different order... and let me add that most games, I don't have any issues connecting and I'm forwarding the correct ports to a static ip, etc.  I played at game ok to completion.  Exited demigod for 5 minutes, then came back and tried to load www.joystiq.com, which lagged out.  I tried a few other sites... no luck.  I tried a digg add in for internet explorer 8 and that returned results for me, so I figured, maybe something up with other sites... anyway, I relaunch demigod, am able to join a 2v2 skimish (was epic, btw), and am disconnected shortly after my team gets the upper hand.  Anyway, whatever is happening, it started 2 versions ago.  It impacts my ability to connect to various internet sites.  I can easily "fix" the problem by restarting my pc (no router/cable modem reboot required)... I do that and I'm back up and running.  10-15% of my games end this way.  I'm on windows vista 32 bit.
