| 636442 | 2008-03-03 18:07:00 | Hi guys SWMBO just had to untick the box about something acting as server and away she went. XP, 2.something Ghz, enough RAM. Two further questions : As you guys know, I suffered for long with disconnects of my Xtra modem. With the router things seem to be better (ran 50 hrs without a disconnect) but I have a few problems : I play on-line poker ever so often (free play). Ever so often I would get these "micro-freezes" (every 5 minutes or so), not be totally disconnected, just a bit of lag (?). I don't know what cause this - anybody got any ideas? It happens on more than one pokersite as well. SWMBO is having problems running Skype off the lappie (wireless) - the same thing it seems to me, the sound going away and then be back to normal after a while. I've looked around at the settings on the modem and router but I really do not know what I'm looking at - all Greek to me. I also emailed the Xtra modem makers (D-link) and asked for a firmware upgrade. Got it, but they said the modem is frickin old (on the point of not getting any more support). My questions : will Xtra replace it or do you have to buy a new one and secondly, I'm worried stiff about installing the firmware upgrade after reading about the problems with it on this forum (and others). Any-one also with similar problems (a 3-4 year old modem from Xtra?) Well, that's me for now. Hope you Ubergeeks can help this poor stupid *rseh*le. LOL sarel This one sarel |

| 636443 | 2008-04-18 21:45:00 | OK guys, talked to the HelpDesk this morning and found out that my modem's connection to the exchange has been going non-stop now for 982 hours. This means the disconnects are downstream of the modem. Where the %^&* do one check and what do you check in a router? It's obvious to me that it's either the line or the router - they are testing the line but I don't know about the frickin router - any suggestions? sarel |
