ok! if you have a wireless connection and have alot of annoyance with "problem with your connection" and maybe getting disconnected then try this.You may already know that with a wireless  it sometimes fights with the OS for control of the wireless adapter,The result is usually a drop after 5 seconds.. then a reconnection.. then a drop.. etc etc....well answer for this is to try disabling wireless zero-configuration as follows:

1.Right-click my computer and hit "Manage".

2.Go to "Services and Applications"->"Services"

3.Right-click "Wireless Zero Configuration" and then click "Stop" in the "General" tab.

If this fixes the problem, then disable the service via the popup box next to the "Startup type:" label.

Let me know if this works... if it doesn't work, then restart the service via the "Start" button in the "General" tab."

hope this works!

Works for me!  I've been suffering with a connection glitch every 5-10 seconds eversince a patch a few months ago.  I forget which number.....  I've tried EVERYTHING and eventually gave up on wireless and ran a cable across the floor instead....  Just tried this and it worked straight off. 

Can't thank you enough.  If I ever meet you in a server I'll let you shoot me.  Lots!

Did not work- as soon as there's a connection issue (3 minutes?), WZC could not fix it. To get it working again I had to restart it.

Oh well, it was worth a try

Well i've tried but my status is "automatic". I can only start it. And when you stop it afterwards, it goes back to its automatic status.

Might I remind you that some people actually use WZC and thus, by disabling it, are disabling their internet connection?

It worked. Only thing that confused me was that it went on the status automatic instead of stopped or something like that. Yesterday though it had already gone on that satus by itself, which explains why some days I din't have any probelems. BF2 now finnaly runs smoothely without ANY shitty probelems.

Honstely, I can't thank you enough.

Thank you
