Is it me or the GW server?

I only have GW:F. It is starting to drive me nuts because it keeps disconnecting to the GW server in the middle of missions and quests. I have started immediately connecting to other sites to check my DSL connection and have no problems. But, I can not connect to GW without completely restarting the program.
All of this started right after the updates for the Dragon Festival.
I am running GW:F on Windows XP, Pentium4 3.2Ghz, 1G Ram, Nvidia GeForce MX4000 graphics card over a home network with my wifes and my computer. I always play on the American server.
If there are other considerations, please, let me know?
I just want to figure out if it is my setup or if the problem really lies at the GW server?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

It's servers, not you.

Weird. My GW runs just fine, sometimes laggy and/or lower FPSs but no disco's... (I play EU servers though)

If your having connection issues and your wife isn't (that's if she plays too!) then if you could post specifics about the network hardware you're using we could do some research. This last weekend most people experienced network issues that typically go hand in hand with the streaming updates and heavy server loads.

dont forget that there is a whole internet between Anet and you that could be at fault as well.

unless you do a trace you cant know where the drop occurred.
