I am trying to figure out why I keep losing connections at
certain websites. Mostly game sites. I am trying to
determine if it is a problem on my end on just with the
sites. Any advice on what I should check or update on my
system would be appreciated. Thank you!!
 
Is it at Pogo.com by any chance?

Then it may be a host file issue.
Look also for a file named HOSTS (no extension, could be hidden) rename it
OLDHOSTS.
Mike Burges has a "toggle" .bat file if you want to keep yours.

Pogo.com is an ad generated site that "requires" doubleclick and several
other tracking servers.
When doubleclick and the others are blocked you can not access the games on
that site.

So it's either don't go there or use the "toggle method" to access the
games? [ugh!]
Their "privacy policy" and Terms of Use" pages are downright scary!
