Conquerors: Disconnects

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.games.ageofkings (More info?)

Oh, yeah, now that I think of it.
It's not my pc or anything. Because I tried playing on
another pc (same router/network) and it had the same
problems..

Thx Jimmy;

Well, I took out my router and connected directly to the
inet. (Took me a while to figure it all out because I
forgot I had a half static ip adress and had to wait an
hour to get a new ip )

This time, while playing, I didnt have any disconnects so
I suppose my router is causing the trouble.
Now for my next question, why is my router doing this and
how do I fix it
Remind that I'm not having troubles playing other games
online..

My router:
U.S Robotics Broadband Router (non-wireless)
Model 8003
100mbs
4 slots
Built in firewall

Any help/replies is, as always, appreciated

(Ps; sorry for my spelling)

Hi Rven,

Your router might need a firmware update, or some components
inside of it may have developed a defect. You should contact
the folks at U.S Robotics for a tune up and inspection. :-)

|I updated my firmware, and I *seem* do get less
| disconnects. I can stay connected longer to a game before
| disconnecting. Though, I'm not sure of it, it may be just
| luck
|
| So I'm going to give Us robotics a call/e-mail.
|
| Tnx for your help Jimmy.

| Btw; hints or tips are still welcome

Hi Rven,

Well, your ISP provides a modem which might benefit
from an upgrade as well. Give them a call and see. :-)

Cheers,
Jimmy.
