    Hey, all. I've been having some trouble seemingly with my network card recently. Specifically with Battle.net servers when I'm playing Starcraft 2. The second I begin to play a custom game, a majority of my internet connection cuts out. Firefox and Skype calls crash, but I can still type to people on Skype.

    I've tested installing SC2 on another computer and running it from the same internet connection, so it's not my NAT settings or router firewall. I've also tested disabling my Windows firewall and Antivirus, none of which seemed to help.

    Oddest part is, not all functions of SC2 cause this, only custom games.

    I've been told to try updating my network card and there doesn't seem to be one. Currently using DW1520 wireless-n half-mini card, version 5.60.18.8 which was released on 21/08/2009.

    Any suggestions of what I can do to fix this? It's getting beyond frustrating at this stage.

    Don't know if you've come across this thread. Has a good triage of steps to try to get this resolved. The driver mentioned is for both the 1510 and 1520.

    Cheers - Rue
