Turn down your nub meter. Write the error down. Return and report. ;)
(AHH I HAVE A PROBLEM BUT I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT IT IS CAN YOU FIX IT?)

For the record, I figured one of my bros would come on and put a few up, but it looks like I'm alone in this. Let me get a few for you (if the server's not full, I don't want to kick anyone just to write down a few nub errors)
i'm jumping the gun here, but It sounds like parse errors.
Did you guys upgrade the firmware on your router lately?

Yes. Immortal did that, and I've thought about that, but I have absolutly no clue what I would be able to do to fix it. Any ideas, or am I simply doomed?
go on broadbandreports.com under tools, run tweak test and line packet loss test, report back with results :p

Noooo don't do that. They'll want money to run their tests. If you want to check for packet loss, just go to a command line and type 'ping yahoo.com -t' and let that run for 5 mins or so. Then hit ctrl+c and get the results, it'll tell you what % packet loss you're getting. (anything more than 1 - 2 % is bad... I'm getting anywhere from 4 - 9 % lately, and my game is crapped up like crazy)

Its a router problem. I had the exact same thing.
Basically what you do is put +clientport (porthere) and forward that port to the computer via the router.
ie, my brother and I both play on steam, so we had to use different ports: For him, I created a shortcut for the game, and put +clientport 27007 in the command line (any port will do, I just put a port that is most likely not used). For me, I put +clientport 27008. Then I forwarded these ports to the appropriate computers and bam: No more random parse error disconnects.

Ummm....Lito, How exactly do i do that? I dont know squat about routers.
open up your browser and type in 192.168.1.1
...
for your brothers computers use different +clientport [porthere], then forward that port to thier computers. For example, my brother has the ip 192.168.1.101, and for him i set +clientport 27007. So i would forward port 27007 to 192.168.1.101 via the port forwarding section of the router.
