Internet spades disconnects while playing

Hello, are other people having issues with the stock Internet Spades? I get a lot of disconnects while I'm playing the game. Two of the error codes I get are 0x80041006 & 0x80041004. I don't know about the other games, I don't play them. I'm an older person, so not very savvy on computers, but help would be appreciated. I have had this problem a long time, I've just dealt with it. I was thinking it was a Microsoft server problem and they really don't care to upkeep it. Microsoft Security Essentials, Microsoft firewall on, Windows 7 Home Thank you.

Same thing with Internet Checkers. Regular disconnex and its become so pervasive that all one can do it terminate the process and start another game. Been happening for a year or so.

I have the same problem, my internet provider is Cable R. I start to play online and all goes fine but after 30 minutes i lost my internet connection.

Hi ALL,

The problem is with the MS server, for that and other games.

As far as i know that problem has been around for 7 years

From what i gather - its a we cant cope with that many players, and i cant see them expending more resources to fix it any time soon.
