Strange connection issue

[Mrsteatime]

so i dont have any issues connecting to my server butcherblock, but after 2 to 10 mins of being ingame the following happens.

The client stops updating for me, i can type in guild chat for example and not see it myself or anyone elses chat entries. but for some reason guild members can see what ive been typing even tho i cant.

i was in a group on an alt on another pc which dropped out the same way, i still recieved quest updates etc, but i did not see them update while the client stopped recieveing updates. i reloged to find the quest updates complete.

I am still able to connect chat via ingame voice, and the guilds vent serevr.

but i'm at a loss as to whats going on atm.

ive tried running the tracert (which worked) and pathping (which doesnt seem to work for me) 

any thoughts on what i should be looking at next?

What happens when you try the pathping portion?

Are you playing full screen or in a Window?  It's possible that a UAC window has opened behind the client and is awaiting a click for Allow/Deny. 

You can paste your tracert/pathping here or PM them to me.

You do have to launch you command prompt as an admin if you received an access denied error.  Hold CTRL+SHIFT and hit enter from the run box after typing in CMD.
