Here's a weired one

[Broder]

One of our Clanmembers has a real weired one. When NOT in a game he times out after about a minute or so and gets disconnected from the Server....

BUT..

when he is in Mohaa ( or it even runs minimised in the background ) he doesn't get any timeouts. Maybe somebody else with timeout probs wants to try this and give some feedback.

Cheers

can you give me specifics on how he is connected?

Router? , modem? versions etc.

Hi Niels,

he is connected trough a ADSL Modem to the Internet. No Firewall , no router, no nothing not even a Virus Software.

The Modem is an Alcatel called Frog. I have no idea how to find out the Firmware though but if I do I'll update the post

Just to follow up with more info

These modems are USB Alcatel speedtouch ADSL ..
Used by pretty much all people on British Telecoms ADSL in the UK..

Firmware is not upgradeable , but drivers are...usually supplied by BT with Alcatels 1.4 or 1.6 software (from memory)
Hope that helps

Most dutchies with adsl use that modem too. Be it the usb version or the ethernet version.
No probs here though.

I Use the Alcatel Speedtouch USB modem at 500kbps ADSL.
I havent used it with TS2 yet but ill try it for timeouts.

Did somebody mention a Ethernet version of the alcatel?

Didnt know u could get one, but if u can where? How much? and well, thanks, u may just have sorted all my problems out in one go!!!!!

Cheers

Im PRETTY sure that the ethernet ADSL from BT is more expensive.
It used to be the business ADSL plan..not sure if thats the same still..
You may wish to call our helpful friends at BT to find out more:-)

Oh, and Ive tried calling them in the past, they dont have a f-ing clue what ur talking about, Helpful Friends or what!!!!

Cheers anyway m8
