Lately, I've been getting some wierd disconnects in Wow - I run 5 characters on one box using keyclone. At this point I'm not sure if its keyclone or my ISP, or if its a hardware issue - it's seemingly very random when it happens. I could walk away from the machine and come back and find 2 or 3 characters back at the login screen while the others are still happily logged in - other times I can be spamming my keys and suddenly get dc'd at the start of a pull.
Essentially what happens is all copies of wow stop, like the connection to the server died - however I can still do things in game, open bages, move around, and then about 8 seconds later I get dropped to the login screen. Nothing actually locks up. All wows do this at the same time - some of them drop dead to the login, sometimes they recover from it and they play catchup going really fast through whatever action was going on then resume normal speed. This leads me to believe my connection temporarily dropped out. So I guess my question is... how do I even begin pin-pointing the cause...
