Nno offense, but your PC is just average. Nothing awesome about that one. Just about every gamer has that as their bare minimum.

If your gameplay is much improved when his computer is not online then you do have connection probs. Call your ISP and talk to them. They may have suggestions for improving the speed. I know my brother-in-law had problems with one setup but when he rearranged it, things got a good deal better. It won't hurt & it might help.

What are you using to split the connection ?

Hubs,switches, and ICS all work differently.

The_Whit · May 21, 2005, 08:04 PM // 20:04

Im using a D-Link router to split the connection.

When it disconnects i get Errors 7 message

Ok, well thats much better, most routers use internal switches. So those should stay pertty balanced as far as performance goes.

If its a hardwaire connection you might check for firmware updates if its a wirelss one you might consider rotating the channel that you are broadcasting on.

You also might have to make sure that port err 6112 I think it is, is fowarded a virtual server or a port trigger although I hear triggers don't work to well.

Like I said earlier have you tried a direct connection to the modem itself ?

If it still faulters then it would be something on the Service side of things.

Get your bro banned of his PC or something, lol. =P

I cant try direct connection to the modem , if I did how would my brother connect?

aeroclown · May 22, 2005, 05:30 PM // 17:30

You don't worry about your brother. Your borther is unimportant at this point [wave hand, uses force power]

Really we are trying to see what is going on, if we are ever going to check to see if the problem is with the router, you must by pass it. The only way to truely test your internet connection to see if it is indeed a problem with your services is to bypass the router and directly connect a computer for a period of undertermined time to see if the game crashes in the same manner.

As such, how or when your borther is reconnected is of no importantce. This is an attempt to test your services directly at the source of which you get them, its not about who is connected.

ok hes off it right now ill try direct connction.

The_Whit · May 22, 2005, 08:09 PM // 20:09

Hmmnmm.... this is very odd, when I connect my cable directly to the modem it says im not getting any conenction and connot connect to the internet 0_o

Or if he doesnt have a password put one on like "Im a Fag" youll get a kick out of that

The_Whit · May 23, 2005, 02:24 AM // 02:24

I realy need help its happening more frequently now.

Also when I look at my and my brother connections I see that I have 2 more extrra things then he does.

aeroclown · May 23, 2005, 05:37 AM // 05:37

Well if your isp limits you to one ip, you may have to actually unplugg the modem for a period of atleast 60 seconds. Then power down your system connect it and boot it.

By 2 more things what do you mean ?

The_Whit · May 23, 2005, 05:36 PM // 17:36

What you need to do:

- Hook the cable modem directly up to your computer.
- Call your ISP.
- Ask them to detect your computer and assign your system an address. (Most house holds can have a number of these.)
- Get them to set it all up and then see how the connection works out.

They will walk you thu the setup process of connectiong to their service. This will take a little while but its needed so we can find out if its the router.
