I'm not aware of anyone else that has this problem, but every time I enter NS through steam it pings the server list. For some reason about a couple seconds into the pinging, my internet connection dies. Then it comes back around 20 sec later.

No idea if its an NS, OS, or router issue, but I thought you guys should know.

Never happened before 3.0F, but happens almost every time i enter the game now, using a D Link router on a 100 MB line through my gigabit ethernet controller. Windows XP SP2, and a cable connection, note this does NOT happen in other steam games.

NS does not effect net code. Nor does it effect the steam game listing. That is entirely steam territory. I'd go to them for tech support to resolve this issue.
