Hey there, just dropping a note to say that I got disconnected last night whilst in the hall of mirrors with Moves and Emalou (just pulled a load of bats too 
). Thought it was a bit odd as its been happening more and more often lately so had a look at the log files in my router and discovered that I have been gettin denial of service attacks. My router has managed to block most attempts but the odd one has managed to get through the firewall and sever my connection( not clued up as to how they work exactly ). First tell tale is the frozen to the spot then the lost chat server msg and finally after about 5 minutes i get disconnected from lotro and when i get back to the desktop realise I ain't got www access either. Usually it requires me to restart everything from the setop box, modem to the router/switch but for some reason last night I couldn't reconnect to lotro. Wacky thing is that a lot of attempts are foiled but the odd was is still doin its nasty deed 
Its drivin me crazy now so I have decided to sort this problem out before I play again as this sort of problem can and most prolly did last night (sorry guys)affect friends and fellowship members.I'm really fuming >: Got the offending IP's and am going through the usual channels aswell as updating ALL internet security software. So till i sort this out I will be AWOL hopefully see yall sooner rather that later.
