Thanks for all the replies.
I guess you're right about my connection to the Nexon servers isnt working right.
I contacted them and they toldme do the following... Which I think it's totally useless =\
Too bad I dont play any other games, or I would try and see if I get this problem with different games. And yes, Im on wireless for the past 2 years.

I took your advice and rebooted my router for a few minutes, it does work for a bit but I still get it randomly ;P Maybe I should turn it off when I sleep >< And nah, I dont think I have trojans because my computer is protected when it started o.O

You may want to contact your ISP and have them take a look at things, make sure your internet is working fine.
Also, if there's any other online games that you've played, try running them for a while and see if you get the same issue.
Last thing--are you connecting to the internet wirelessly?
