For some reason my Source games (TF2 and Dota, but not CS:GO) will randomly stop, then say Connection Problem for a few seconds or so, and then suddenly work again. It's extremely annoying because it usually causes me to die when in the middle of a battle or something. I've checked my connection and it's not dropping packets, and it doesn't do this for ANY other game, just those two Source games. I use Chris's bad network config on Dota, and none on TF2.
Any idea why it might be doing that? I just came out of an extremely infuriating game of Dota, in which I died about 4 times due to this issue.

I have something similar to Uverse (Clearwire), but I disabled the internal firewall so it doesn't interfere with the router.

Give your external router a static ip to the modem/router. I had this problem and that fixed it.

How would I go about doing this? I haven't messed with my router/modem much besides opening ports and that kind of thing.
