i don't know if there is a way for conquer to dc without that error to show up, but there is a way to make your parents not to see the error. if you have 2 WINDOWS USER ACCOUNTS just start the game using one of them log in your characters and then switch to the other user. if your parents come to the pc they won't see the conquer in the taskbar and they won't see any error messages if the connection to the internet fails. if you don't have 2 windows user accounts (you only have the administrator one) you must create anotherone for you. to do that you have to clic start->control panel->user accounts->create new user account. this way you will make an account foryou to use when you start conquer; when you go afk(let the parents at the pc)just switch to the other account. when you come back to the pc just switch back to your account and you can see conquer again. hope this helps
