my dsl provider swore that my line was perfect and my problems (requiring 47 tech calls and 4 visits) were not their fault but mine

when it rained (in so cal you go 8 months without rain) the line sounded like bacon frying and no dsl or dial up

the squirrels had chewed the line and as soon as it was replaced perfect connection again

BTW i have had one single err=7 since the jan beta which includes almost every day some playing

no crashes
no freezes
no disconnects (except as noted,
no BSOD
little if any lag
minor rubber banding

This is a good thread. This is an "odd" error too. Since it has only happened once to us since we have been playing I tend to think it is toward the servers. I am no network specialist, however my friend that was playing at the time with us when it happened is. He has more letters after his name then I can count. lol He wasn't to upset about it since it did not repeat. Also we just got to a city when it happened so we didn't lose all that much. I do not think it is the ISP. It has to be with ArenaNet's servers somehow. When we logged back in the town we were in was FULL of people just logging back in. Good thing we were on TeamSpeak and that was not disconnected. We just kept talking and found each other quickly and moved on.

For your info, the only time I ever got an err=7 was when my routing computer rebooted due to MS update at 3 am, and ended all internet connectivity for my gaming computer.

This is exactly what you need to do. It might not be on your end, its definately not on theirs (or noone would be able to connect). It could be anything from ISP issues, to a bad gateway. Tracert will tell you exactly how far your connection gets before it drops, and what the bad hop is. If its within your ISP network, it's their fault. If it's past that, it's probably a bad backbone along the line. Either way you will have to contact your ISP and make them aware of the issue, and your findings.
