View Full Version : Random(?) timeouts?

I'm having a slightly similar issue from the others regarding timeouts:

My users connect just fine, but after seemingly random(?) periods of time (10+ min. or so), they will individually "disconnect" from the server. The same thing happens to me when I'm logged in myself. It's almost as if there's a timeout period or something for periods of inactivity, but I don't think there is.
Usually, they dropped clients will reconnect, but sometimes the clients can't reconnect in time and stay disconnected. Either way, when the client reconnects, the whole cycle seems to repeat itself after a period of no speaking/typing.

This has really only happened in the past month or so. Before that, it would mostly only happen as a result of user error or such.

Running Microsoft Wireless 802.11b router with UPnP/NAT firewall enabled and the correct ports shared.

Anyone else see this, or can offer up a suggestion?

Thanks,

to me that looks like a connection problem happening randomly which could happen due to bad NIC driver, NIC HW, Router Firmware, Router HW,.... High ping / packet loss ?

1) anything in the log files ?
2) are you using the LAN IP to connect ?
3) you and your friends, ever tested a other server to see if the problems is located on your home server ?
