That "not in 2d rendering stage" error sometimes happens, but it's nothing critical, you can safely ignore it.
The reason why your screen went black and the clock appeared is probably, that your connection to the server was interrupted. If it happend just once, the server admin most likely restarted the server. If that happens frequently on different servers, you seem to have a network problem (either an unstable router or something like that). Has it happend more than once so far?

Anisofropic Filtering ???

Higher anisotropic filtering makes textures, that are far away look better/sharper (here is a good explanation with example pictures: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisotropic_Filtering). Of course that will cost some performance, but recent GPUs (Geforce 6/7 or equivalent) are doing pretty well with up to 8x anisotropic filtering.

OpenGL 2.0 Accel. ???

Unless you are experiencing strange graphic bugs (MacOS graphic drivers are broken for example) you should leave that setting enabled.

yes, I think you maybe right.
The Router is a big factor, I also beleave.

I have a LINKSYS broadband router/wireless
I'm playing the game from the eithernet
port one,

model #: WRK54G

That zyxel should be pretty decent iirc. How does the game behave if you play campain or "instant action"?
