Well its a tech school. So that means a ton of nerds, like myself, and also a ton of gamers.  If they banned gaming 80% of the school would most likely leave.  And as I said I have had no issues with this in the past. Gaming is definitely accepted, but I know torrenting is not, cuz then the school can get sued since they are the ones technically sharing it and all.

Yes I've had no problems doing anything else.  I've yet to try other games though.  And what exactly would I ask the person to sound intelligent? xD

And thanks for all your help.

Okay, so I now tested it with my gaming computer an ethernet.  I received the same results.  Also, it says "Request timed out" ten times before reporting the ping statistics.  So is this what would be expected if packets are lost, or is this a different error where it can't ping correctly at all?

FYI: I am using a college internet connection.  I had no problems like this last year, although I am in a different dorm this year.  Would there be any sort of safety protocols that are blocking me from testing the packet loss, or just any other obstacles unique for a campus internet that you would know of?  I am rather tech-savvy, but I must confess I know very little of internet and the like.

ah thanks. I didn't know that I could actually check for packet loss

so here are my results:

Ping statistics for 173.194.75.99:
   Packets: Sent = 10, Recieved =0, Lost = 10 (100% loss).

...well that went well. (for what its worth, I DID have an internet connection at the time, and could load websites, so its not due to the fact that I was disconnected.  I also sent this over wifi as opposed to ethernet, I will run a second test over ethernet later.)

Thanks... I did in fact read mostly all of that.  And what I gathered is...I'm screwed?  It seems that there is nothing I can do to decrease the probability of a lost packet except change internet...which I have no control over.  Am I right?

Thanks for the response.  And I am using an ethernet cable so I don't use a router.  And can you explain what packetloss is please?

At least 5 times per gaming session (about 2 -3 hours) I will get kicked from the server (usually NA 7 Defend the Virgin) with an error saying that "Connection to server is lost."  When I try to rejoin I get the error message saying "Your profile name is used by another player."

Any way to fix this glitch? 

(I'm assuming it's a glitch since I HAVE changed my password to no avail.)

Thanks for any help!

Although I have no screenshots, I was there and this guy was a real jerk to everyone.  He did not care to complete the objectives of the game at all.
