so neverwinter has been literally disconnecting me from my actual internet service for small periods of time when playing. I am wondering if this is happening to anybody else. Again, I dont just get disconnected from the game, I get disconnected from my entire network and I cant even search the web.
anyone know what this problem is?

Sounds like a personal issue.
Your system may be the compromised.

Umm impossible. you have problems elsewhere. These games are very low bandwidth all things considered.... and for something at the application layer to cause what you describe could only be caused by saturating something in your path - cpu, your network interface, or your switch/router.. which this game isn't going to do. Even if you internal network is old school 10mb its still PLENTY. Most WiFi is ~54mbs which is PLENTY.
Even DSL is PLENTY of bandwidth for a PC game.
People are so duped by ads by companies like Time Warner saying you need 20mbs downstream.
Except they rarely, if at all, provide the actual 20mbs downstream.
):
But even then, aye tis more about latency rather than bandwidth which is important for games.
what do u mean impossible? what are you saying is impossible in my statement. I am merely stating what IS HAPPENING. I get disconnected from neverwinter every 15-30 min and after that my entire internet disconnects for around 30 seconds to a minute. If i go for any length of time without playing neverwinter MY INTERNET DOESNT GO DOWN AT ALL. This is obv not impossible since its happening to me lol. And im not even complaining that neverwinter is using to much bandwidth. Regardless if its my computers fault or the games fault the problem still stands that when i play neverwinter something is messing up and causing this. I was just trying to see if anyone else has had this problem.
Exactly this, even for streaming movies 20mbs is kind of overkill.
When you connect to a server you are just sending and receiving packets form it, there's nothing there really that could make your whole net service go down. The issue could be with your hardware though. You should contact your ISP technical department and ask for help from them.

No, that is normal. The problem lies in your own computer.

If you have two different bits (eg x64, x32, or x86 etc..) then delete them and make sure you have at least 2005, 2008, 2012 in the same bit type.
1) One particular program can not cause your internet connection to go down. Your modem (and often the router in the same package) is built to do one thing - send and receive packets. All those packets are treated the same, the router doesn't care which application is sending or receiving the data. Although there have in the past been specially crafted packets that could bring down routers, the likelyhood that your router software has a flaw that can result in this is minuscule. Your router is more likely to be hit by a meteorite. What is more likely happening is that you are not noticing your modem losing its connection because you are not using applications that requires a constant stream of data. Streaming movies, loading web pages, etc etc - all these activities can handle your modem dropping the connection for 30 seconds.
2) Your modem/router will not overheat from playing a game. If it is going to overheat, it will be if you are transferring large files constantly. Neverwinter does not do that.
Your most likely problem is that you have a DSL line, and your ADSL filter is faulty, or your SNR rate is set incorrectly. Contact your ISP and ask them to do a diagnostic on your line.
I suppose I shall have to complain about having to repeat myself here, since the message requires 10chars...
Comcast did this to WOW players for awhile, i remember the latency was unbearable at one point. Call your ISP.
Are you talking about other MMOs, games that have constant internet connection, or single player games where it does not use an internet connection?
Other MMOs
It is your connection and not the game. I can understand why you are confused. If it were the game everyone would have this issuue or atleast a lot would. This is not the case. As already mentioned i would check the following.
1) Do a malware/spyware clean (malwarebyes anti-malware should do the job for you there for free)
2) Check to see if everyone looses connection or if its just your pc(when your pc is without a conn try and connect with another device). It will help with diagnostics of your issue.
3) Check your router firmware.
4) Make sure you have the latest driver for your NIC (network interface card) installed. Usually never an issue but better be on the safe side.
5) Some are able to connect to the internet(i am one of those) without the use of a router. Try this if its possible with your setup and see if the problem persist.
6) If problem still persist, call your ISP regarding a diagnostics of your connection. Tell them everything you have tried to remedy this issue so they may have an easier time assisting your.
Any game, (and I do mean any game) that has consistant internet access requirements will have issues of flooding when the connection is unstable.
Things to try;
Ensure you firewall is correctly set to allow the nwn exe access to the web
Ensure your AV package is set to “ignore” the nwn exe, and is fully updated
thing is it disconnects my husband also from the internet.... he loses internet access every time I do from this dang game.... wish they would fix it.... it is sickening already... ONLY when I play this game....
This red server not responding does not mean that the server is down it means that the game server and your isp are not communicating. Right after I am disconnected I can log right back in on most occasions but anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes later I am disconnected again. I have only had a few good play sessions of over 30 minutes in my time since the 3 day head start I was given for the guardian pack purchase. I can play other mmo's for hours on end without any issues whatsoever.
I suspect the most of the users posted here have installed the game using the downloader and PMB is the reason for their problems. I don't have that problem because I downloaded the installer via torrent client.
So, if anyone of you have used the downloader - open Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel and uninstall Pando Media Booster. You will then see/feel the difference.
