I just wonder if I play poker, what should I do to prevent others from sending signals that will disconnect me from that poker tables, thus causing me to lose that round of poker game.

Hey Aloha,
If you think that someone's disconnecting you, then you really need to get a firewall. Also, you should check your computer for spyware and viruses. I like Spybot Search and Destroy for spyware, and
Kaspersky or
AVG for anti-virus, cuz they're free. (I have one at home and one at work and don't seem to notice any major differences, they both seem to catch everything).
In general, though, I think that most online poker sites are well enough monitored and well enough protected to keep people from knocking you offline. I've never been knocked off a poker site, except when my modem broke.
Take Care,
James
