  Is anyone else having connection problems ?   For the last few days I keep getting a message telling me that a connection could not be made with the server and that my internet connection must be down.  This happens approx. 5  times in the hour that I play each day

  My Internet connection is stable and runs at a constant 30mbs and wgt is the only game that I have connection problems with.

   

  If anyone has suggestions or is having the same problem would be interested to hear from you

  How are you connecting to WGT?  Is there a router between your modem and pc? If so try to resetting your router settings. Last year I was having that problem and I discovered that not only one was there a firewall in windows but there was a second firewall in my router settings. I disabled that firewall and the connection problems stopped. Any and all connection problems now are if my ISP is down.

  Although you may think that you have great service , it may not be as great as you think . Sometimes the weather can and does interfere with the quality of your service provider . You have to also take into consideration their maintenance schedule and program updates as well . There can be a lot going on between us and WGT which is out of every ones hands and control at any given time . 

  Plus dont forget about your computer its programs and updates as well . Back ground apps browser updates and the lot . I was having the same problem over the last few days due to bad weather . Today is a much calmer day and so far no problems as of yet .

  If you were to do a Ping or Trace Route when this is happening, I would be willing to wager, you are timing out on one the stops getting to WGT.  As lonnie said, weather could be a big factor(power outage or a server restart, due to a power outage).  Anything from maintenance to a hop server being shut down will stop you.  Those are not WGT's
