Can't connect to games for 10-20mins after 2hr cut off from net, using ISDN router
I connect to the internet through an Arescom 7x ISDN Router. I use Windows XP. My ISP cuts me off of the internet after I have been online for 2 hours. The router then redials automatically (dial on demand) and I am reconnected. However, for 10-20 minutes after reconnection (I have yet to discover whether it is a fixed time) I cannot connect to any online games. I can get email, chat on MSN or IRC and visit websites, but can't not connect to games. If I had manually disconnected and reconnected before the 2 hour limit was reached, I can play games.
The problem is the same for both computers on the network.
Does anyone know what the problem may be, and how I can resolve it?
Thanks a lot

I suppose that makes sense, but when I disconnect manually from another computer, while one is in game, and reconnect, I can carry on playing. This is plain confusing.
Could you suggest a flat-rate UK ISP with ISDN and good speed?
