In fact this is absolutely possible.

Indeed it is the other way. Right now it can happen that you play
via freecivs metaserver on the internet and loose your link. During
that time, everyone can connect under your name so that you can not
continue the game - so if there is something to complain, then only
that there is no server option to "lock" one player if _not_ from
the same i.p./ (full orsubdomain).

What is the exact error message when your connect fails, Simone ?
