If it's not a directx issue, like Kansuke suggests, we may have to think
about your modem/router issue again.
I looked into the manual for your Acer Speedtouch 580 and found out that,
similar to my router, you have two choices to connect:
1. Store the information (Online-Name and password) needed to connect to the internet in the router
2. Don't save any info in the router but use it as a dial-up modem.

Option 1 means you're (or rather your router) always online. When you open
your browser it connects instantly.
Option 2 means you create a dial-up-connection in Windows. This means
you're only online when this connection has been manually started.
Also, all other features of the router like firewall etc. are then disabled because it acts like a modem.

The idea behind this is that Shogun is that old that it may not work correctly with routers. I intend to check this out myself some time in the future because I guess this could solve my hosting problems.
