LAN Connectivity Issues with 4.4.
Everyone updated successfully
They get connected then loose connection after a couple minutes
Note we didn't have any issues last week.
This is a Private Network, everyone is connecting to my Wireless Router.

There were no changes to code for the networking layer in this release; so it might be the fact that the program updated and something on the network or machine is blocking or throttling the connection.

If it's all the players, then it's most likely something on the GM machine and/or the router that is throttling or blocking connections. Look at any flood protection, throttling, quality of service, parental control, SPI filtering, or similar settings.

I think it's one of the extension...cleared out about half of them...and once I did that it stopped disconnecting them...This is the part I hate...as finding out which mod is the culprit is like finding a needle in a hay stack...As these extension have been stable before 4.4.

Note nothing has changed on the network or GM Machine/Network (my machine and network). No new extensions. The only thing that changed was 4.4 FGU. One of my extensions doesn't like 4.4. Nothing in my log or client logs to give us an idea on why the disconnect.

Lots changed in 4.4 It's a pretty safe assumption that some extensions are broken. You'll need to check on each one if it has not been updated. I know we played without extensions this past Wednesday because of this (the DM updated so we all had to).

It's definitely the risk we take when using extensions. Fortunately our community usually do an excellent job stomping the bugs out. If you do figure it out, I hope you might contact the extension author. The half and half elimination mode of isolating the problematic extension is the way to go, you had the right idea.
