Vista...

[SlickBlade]

Not sure what's going on but the other day I kept getting disconnected every 5 minutes or less... Internet works fine without lags but for some reason I can't stay connected to the server..

Tried undoing some updates... didnt work
Tried putting new updates... didnt work

Found another update Net frame 3.5, now I'm pretty sure that UO originally runs on Net frame 2.0 so could this be an issue?

Tried running without razor, didnt work. Tried launching without CUO, much better connection but again got disconnected..

Strange... was working fine until the other day and the computer's been off so I'm guessing it might be the provider but I checked the internet speed to different locations and seems ok.. ~500kbps download ~350 upload.. wait just checked the speed at work and it's ~650kbps download ~400 upload... my home connection should be faster then the work one.. I might have to take this up with Comcast... k talked to comcast they're saying everything is fine, tried pinging the server all packets go through speed seems to spec.

Going to test the router tonight my last guess

Any ideas?

um... randomly fixed so far been on for bout 20 minutes or so with no disconnects

This could have been a Vista thing, but it sounds more like an internet provider. I know you pinged and ran some test, but if no one else was having this issue at this time it was more then likely at your end. I have also at times had a simalar issue and of course my provider will never admit that it is a problem with their connection. I have also ran many test when this happens, if it starts happening again go to another web site, that streams video or something noticable, if your connection is not streaming like it normally does it is most likely the internet provider's connection. Even if the connection stayed true for the ping or test it doesn't mean it is always staying on. So, if you can find no fault with your router, I would nearly be willing to bet it was something to do with the provider.

That could be true that they choose not to admit that there is an internal problem within the provider, I did notice that streaming movies had more buffering then usual at the time...

Upon checking the router all I did was move the antenna in the back that was pointing down, up lol For some reason so far so good lol but I think that was just a coincidence because I don't see how being 5 feet away from the antenna whether its pointing up or down would make a difference..

When I talked to comcast the guy said the was no problem but he kept sending "hit signals" saying that hopefully that will improve the connection a bit, any clue what the "hit signals" do or for?

Never heard of "hit signals", but you might want to ask in the comcast section of the DSLReports site.


See you on the shard!
