The thing in the bottom left is sort of a ping calculator. If all the bars (i think) are very small, then your internet connection and the server are quick. If your bar (as you can see in the pic) goes up, then there is no connection between your computer and the server present. This is basically an IP problem.

oh really, how do i fix this 'IP problem' to stop myself getting disconnected ?

I get this problem too on LTC 2, I put it down to the server purely being busy and peak time for internet usage around my area.

That was the problem for me. I was getting disconnects every 5-10 mins, sometimes couldn't connect to the Master server.... I've blamed my Provider...But the real reason were 328 viruses and spywares on my PC After that it all become fine.

I used AVG, its free, try it.

You can't, really. However, not using any other programs whilst on LFS will decrease your CPU usage and Internet Bandwidth usage, and you'll get a better connection.

Hope it helps!
