A friend of mine is having some problems with his net connection. Most
notably, he cannot play any of his online games. Whether its XBOX or
PS2, he gets booted from the games before he can even start to play.
Thinking maybe it was his router, he has tried plugging directly into
the cable modem and he still has the same problem.
He also got another friend to bring over his PS2 and his Cat5 cable, but
had the same problem.
In addition, he says that if he leaves GAIM on overnight, he'll have
10-20 disconnects.
He has also tried pinging yahoo.com to see if he could get any more
evidence. Sometimes he can ping for hours and get negligable packet
loss, but sometimes only after a few minutes tons of packets are getting
dropped.
Lately the same thing has been happening to me, only not so severe. I
can get on the PS2 and play online for about 15-30 minutes before I get
booted. In addition, leaving GAIM on overnight will result in 3-5
disconnects.
At this point neither of us know who to ask. I figure'd I'd take a shot
to see if any of you guys have or are having the same problems we're
having or have any suggestions as to what the problem may be.
Thanks,
- Matt
P.S. sorry if this is a dupe, I sent it awhile back but didn't receive it.
