Complete Newbie Question regarding session dropout

Sorry for my lack of ignorance but any help would be gratefully recieved.

My company has built a multiplayer game using FMS 3.5.2 and Flash 10. Players login in teams of four and have to be in the game all the time. If a player disconnects all four disconnect. We are experiencing a lot of disconnect and we think it is due to the 1 second polling setting as the issue is worse on the internet using WiFi rather than wired and does n't exist on internal corporate intranets.

Does this sound likely? What other information would you need to be able to help? Is there anything else we can try to stabilise the game further.

Thanks in anticipation

Richard

    Oh! You drop all the clients in a team even if one drops out!!!

    If you are streaming video in your game, may be you can make use of 'Stream Reconnect' feature for clients who get disconnected in wireless (which is common, as the network fluctuates). This is a newly added feature which works in Flash Player 10.1 with FMS 3.5.3 - http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/features.html for more information.

    May be you can wait for few seconds to allow the disconnected client to connect back. You will have to iterate in your application for get the threshold wait time.
