Hi, I'm having some connection probs while playing AOC, I
get random disconnects during the game. I'm running an up-
to-date pc, steady broadband connection and no lag.
It just happens sometimes even when there's no lag at all
during the game from other players.
I never have any problems playing other online games(=>
non-zone). Counterstrike - Day of defeat - Rtcw etc
In the beginning everything works fine, but then after 5
min / 10 min /20 min/.. etc I disconnect. Yet sometimes it
works fine and I can play normally.
When I disconnect, the game freezes up, then I get the
voting window (ingame), like when a player drops and you
can choose if you want to continue or wait. But I'm the
only one there apparantly and so I just resign and quit :/.
Running on Xp sp1 (updated)
Radeon 9600 256mb Catalyst 4.5
MD5000Mainboard motherboard 3.1 ghz
786 ddr swissbit ram pc 3200
Telenet broadband internet behind Us Robotics 8003 router |

Thx Jimmy;
Well, I took out my router and connected directly to the
inet. (Took me a while to figure it all out because I
forgot I had a half static ip adress and had to wait an
hour to get a new ip :p)
This time, while playing, I didnt have any disconnects so
I suppose my router is causing the trouble.
Now for my next question, why is my router doing this and
how do I fix it 
Remind that I'm not having troubles playing other games
online..
My router:
U.S Robotics Broadband Router (non-wireless)
Model 8003
100mbs
4 slots
Built in firewall
Any help/replies is, as always, appreciated
(Ps; sorry for my spelling) >> Stay informed about: Conquerors: Disconnects |

Hi Rven,
Your router might need a firmware update, or some components
inside of it may have developed a defect. You should contact
the folks at U.S Robotics for a tune up and inspection.

I updated my firmware, and I *seem* do get less
disconnects. I can stay connected longer to a game before
disconnecting. Though, I'm not sure of it, it may be just
luck
So I'm going to give Us robotics a call/e-mail.
Tnx for your help Jimmy.
Btw; hints or tips are still welcome >> Stay informed about: Conquerors: Disconnects |

Hi Rven,
Well, your ISP provides a modem which might benefit
from an upgrade as well. Give them a call and see.
Cheers,
Jimmy. >> Stay informed about: Conquerors: Disconnects |
