| 506389 | 2006-12-13 06:39:00 | Hi all, I've got a really annoying problem... my 'net connection keeps dropping, sometimes when I'm browsing online, or downloading all of a sudden my connection drops, msn disconnects. I get msg's saying that the pages can't be found. It's especially annoying when I'm playing online games... It all seemed to have started around a month ago when xnet was having network troubles as listed on their site, but now they seem to have none as I looked to see if anything was up. I can't think of anything that I have done to my network settings to affect this, as I have done nothing. Anyways, as I said I have a BB connection through xnet ,I'm on their old Xtream 10GB Plan. I use a D-Link 302G BB modem, as supplied by Xtra. anyone have any idea what could be up? or how I should approach this? Thanks in advance! |

| 506390 | 2006-12-13 06:55:00 | It's Xtra. I'm having the same problem again... totally random and the only fix is restart comp (or complain). | Shortcircuit (1666) | ||
| 506391 | 2006-12-13 07:33:00 | It's Xtra. I'm having the same problem again... totally random and the only fix is restart comp (or complain). Yeh, I've been having the same problem (with Xtra) for more than a week now. I think that they are saying it is because of the increased volume of Spam. Misty :groan: |

| 506393 | 2006-12-13 09:05:00 | I've also been having the same problem for the past few weeks. The modem disconnects several times an hour. | maccrazy (6741) | ||
| 506394 | 2006-12-13 10:19:00 | Same problem here. Not only that, there's a problem with the UPnP capabilities of the modem, DHT firewall, disability to access websites at times.....punks.... | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 506395 | 2006-12-13 10:23:00 | sorry, i think i may have caused some confusion, I'm with XNET, im just using the modem i got from when I was on the Xtra plan a year or so ago... unless it has something to do with telecoms Xtra plans.. but again, im with XNET XNET XNET :thumbs: |

| 506396 | 2006-12-13 19:22:00 | I guess I should add that I'm with Xtra, but probably using the same modem as you because it is the one I got from Xtra when signing up. Based on the thread someone linked to, it sounds like the modems might be the problem. :) | maccrazy (6741) | ||
| 506397 | 2006-12-13 22:46:00 | there's a problem with the UPnP capabilities of the modemI had similar issues with ihug, turning off upnp solved this . I tried three modems(Netgear, D-Link, Dynalink) all had the same issues . At times when it went down I could not even log into the modem, requiring the power to be cycled to fix . |

| 506398 | 2006-12-13 22:59:00 | I am getting a sort of disconnection with Orcon, like the IP address goes to 0.0.0.0, when there has been no net activity for a while, but the connection is remade when the net is accessed again, or maybe after trying twice, but anyway after a second or two. I found if I run my email program and set it to check emails every 15 minutes, then there is no disconnection, like keeping a dial up connection alive. I haven't had disconnections during actually doing something, like downloading, or browsing. So, it may be worth trying that and see if there is any improvement. |
