Help! timeouts......

I'm on Earthlink and during multiplayer gameplay I am getting automatic disconnect in 30 seconds messages which kick me out of game untill I hit stay connected button. Any ideas how I can defeat this problem?
Thanks,
Stranny

I would say you are getting timed out because your ping is to high. Theres not much you can do, Look for a lower ping. Or get broad band.
