WLM and Service Attack

I had a very interesting test I performed yesterday. I have been havin
this problem for some time now and I think I pin pointed it down to m
WLM account

I play an online game name Phantasy Star Universe by Sega of America
In the past I have been getting service interruption meaning the light
on my modem stay on but all PC's and game consoles in the entire networ
cannot communicate to the internet and are disconnected from ther
services. During the morning hours 07/01/2008 our internet service ha
been working fine. We have a Linksys WRT54G V5. As soon as I logged ont
WLM and also my game no more than 10 min go by and BAM servic
interruption. I follow up with a ping to yahoo.com and also try to brin
up Google my homepage and no luck, telling me there is a DNS issue. S
in the past I used to force a public IP change and it seem to solve th
problem. But yesterday not the case. I logged back into my game 2 mi
later BAM again no service. I all ready called my ISP and f**** tha
they know nothing. So I decided to do a series of tests. After my secon
disconnect I forced a new public IP change turned off my WLM and playe
fine for 1 hour no problems. So during this good spree of n
interruptions I turned my WLM back on 5 min into a new mission BA
Service interruption. So I forced a new public IP change shut down WL
and played for 2 hours and had no trouble. So once again I turned on WL
and 10 min into the game BAM again Service interruption. At this point
had 3 suspected friends in my friend list that I suspected may be doin
something strange. So I deleted the WLM account created a new on
excluding the 3 suspects and I have been running the game all day wit
no trouble with the new WLM account working fine. Anybody got some inpu
on this one??? :sarc

Greetings,

Similar things have been reported before and usually solved by upgrading the router's
firmware to the latest version.
