I keep losing connection to the server after the door is shut in the safe rooms. It either goes a second or two after that or right after loading the next portion of the level.
I then get the "retrying connection" screen and after the 25 seconds it quits out of the server and back to the main menu - I don't think it's ever succeeded in retrying.
The frequency is variable, it may or may not happen on any given safe room. I guess my chances of finishing a game is about 50%. While it still happens on good servers (e.g. today I had a smooth game with a steady ping of 40-44 and it happened at the end of part 3) I get the feeling it's more likely if the ping starts out poor.
Occasionally it happens at the very beginning of the level, and very occasionally during the game, but not to an extent I'd consider unusual (bad servers etc).
Vista 64
4gb ram
Core 2 E8400 (3ghz stock)
ATI 4850
otherwise reliable 24/1.5mb ADSL2+ connection using Ethernet to router
just using windows firewall
