Disconnected from the game or the net all together?
check your internet connection settings, seems the only time you get disconnected is when you are not doing anything on the computer.

Some things you can try here, listed in the order you should try them.
  1. For wireless connections, remove all the stored wireless profiles and search for networks. You'll have to enter the encryption key again, which is sometimes the issue for connection problems.
  2. For wireless connections, change the channel on the router, I like channels 1, 6, and 11 in the US.
  3. For wireless connections, try moving either the wireless router/AP or the wireless computer. Even a couple of feet will sometimes make a big difference.
  4. Update the network drivers (wired and wireless) on your computer to the latest available.
  5. Update the firmware to the latest version available on the manufacturer's site.
  6. Reset the router to factory defaults and reconfigure.

Many times these measures will resolve a lot of intermittent issues.

what is your operating system aigene?
have you tried moving your wireless router?
does you mum wear heavy armour?
is the door lead lined?
are there any cables running under the door or floor near the room?
and..tongue in cheek... does you Mum have a jammer to stop you playing so that maybe you can take your turn with the washing up?
