I usually just open a web page in my browser to "kick start" the flow of data. what OS you are using will affect things as well..
This thing didn't happen before. It appeared when I returned from vacation, and I didn't edit anything into the PC.
I had the disconnect issue about half a decade back which only happened when I was flying a cap. Never figured out why and it was only ever fixed when I switched computers. Or maybe operating systems. Can't remember. If it was the latter, it was from Vista to 7.

If it is a small hickup in your connection, use something like pingplotter while running the game. It will show the active connection and route and possible losses that might occur. It will also indicate where the connection fails, at your end, the ISP or disco server end.
I had issues with another game where I ran into random connection losses, it was some hop between the ISP and the game server location. Obviously the game admins blamed my ISP and the ISP blamed the game server. This was for World of Tanks and they pressured my ISP to fix their stuff which they eventually did after some months.

Looks like the Compatibility mode with Windows 7 manage to resolve all my problems (It even logged a Capital Core ship with old engines and after some minutes it didn't crash!). But it's too soon to say that.
