DCS World/UH1 seems to be causing me to loose my Local Network Connection

Not sure where exactly to post this but...

I am having an odd problem that is occurring when I load DCS World to fly the UH1. (Single Player)

 

I am loosing network connectivity. My DSL modem is not affected, it is just the network connection on my machine. When I run the Windows Network trouble shooter, it fixes the problem. It lists the cause of the problem as being unable to find the Default Gateway (modem). It fixes it by resetting the Local network adapter. The same as ipconfig /release /renew I guess.

 

This does not happen all the time, but it is definitely related to DCS World.

 

I need to do more testing and to find a way to recreate the problem every time. But does any one have any idea why this might be happening or heard of anything similar before?

 

I have never had this problem until around the time UH1 and associated DCS world updates where released.

I believe I had the same kind of problem every time I started teamspeak a while ago, and I thinks it was fixed by changing the configuration of my router or disabling services on my machine.

 

I might be mixing a problem with another that I have solved recently but I believe that I had two services attempting to use the same ports resulting in the adapter failure. However even after uninstalling / disaabling most services using my network connections to host or retrieve data, the problem was always there. It only got fixed once I reverted back my router from DMZ Plus mode (which allowed every connection to connect directly to my machine thus bypassing entirely everything from the router) to the default routing type.

 

In summary, I would check for everything that could cause port conflicts and if nothing can be found, I would attempt adding some good firewall protection. (while making sure the ports used by DCS are left open)
