| Ok , myself and Tur8o suffer with the same problem ... it seems to only happen to us between 19:00 and 23:00 UK time . my question to u Iceman is are u running more than 1 computer on your connection ? because if u are this seems to cause a problem within LFS , seems like at peak times it cant handle the packet data transfer ... wot i have to do to get a stable connection is to disconnect tur8o's PC from my network and then reboot my hub , then hey presto i can stay connected no prob's ... if i leave his PC plugged into the hub my connection keeps on dropping out . having said all that tho it only happens on busy servers ie: servers that have 20 or more people connected , if u dont have 2 PC's connected then just try the hub reboot if u havent tried it already and let us know how u get on ok

| If anyone is having problems with a router then the first thing to try is to check whether the firmware needs upgrading, is usually the root of most problems...
Might be worth a check

| Yup ok m8 ... when or if it happens again try wot i said unplug his pc from the network then reboot the hub , might be worth giving wot Chop suggested a go as well . For the record ours has been dropping out for about 4 months , it makes me well mad

| Quote (Wuza) I got same problem, weird thing is that it happens only on our servers ;/ I can play any other game, or even any other lfs server without loosing conection every 5 min Yes this is why i believe it is a problem within LFS servers , cos i also have no probs on a quiet server , but on a busy one like ours i have to do wot i said in my first post on this thread ... if i dont do that then i cant hold the connection

| Ok can you not go into the router/hub settings and define an internal IP for each machine on the network...
e.g.
Main Pc = 192.168.0.2
Secondary PC = 192.168.0.3
Third PC = 192.168.0.4
etc This would take the worry away from the router about what IP to assign each pooter and hopefully make it more stable...?
Easy remedy might be worth a try if the firmware upgrade failed
I have 4 pcs hardwired to my router and 2 wireless devices (laptop and phone), total 6 devices running through router, hardly ever get drop outs, maybe once a month, although i used to get lots until i upgraded router firmware (it was an option inside router config).

| yes but we need a solution soon, this is a heavy problem... maybe write something on Lfs forums? On other servers with much ppl there isnt any problem, its only at AMG servers-.-

| No its not just our servers , its any server that has a lot of people on ... more than say 25 . we get our servers from 500servers so its not an [AMG] server problem , i went onto a cruise server the other night just cos there was more than 30 people on it and guess wot .... yup same problem I think i might just move house it'll be easier in the long run

| it's similar on other UK servers, akm for example, especialy if there's alot of ppl racing there. I don't think it's net problem coz I"m using upc 25mb net wich is one of most popular in our country and I don't know any1 else who has such problems with it

| Ok Wuza , i had similar problem as you know ... but i've finally fixed it after 6 months . like you Ryan and me couldn't hold onto our internet connection if we went onto a busy server , i tried everything i could think of to sort it ... but no luck . then the other week Ryans PC broke totally so i took it to my m8s shop , and after fitting a new power supply he suggested that i do a total reinstall of windows because he had come across this problem before . anyway after the reinstall was done that was it , no more loss of connection ... we can both now stay connected to the server no problem . i hope this helps m8

| It helped me, reinstalled windows xp bout 4 days again and my problems are gone now. I think my problem was that my mainboard isnt running pretty good with windows 7. Now after i made all new, it works fine for me
