Help With Conex Prob.

[Greg 'wmutt' Cook]

Hello,
My connections with AH suck.  I know this isn't a very technical assessment, but at my skill and knowledge level it the best I can do.  With DSl and Cable still at least a full month away from being available, I am on a USR 56K modem.  What tools are there to find and fix problems?  I played Warbirds for over a year and had maybe 2 discos the whole time, (checked it out yesterday to compare, and my conectiion was good with them, but 5 mins after I started AH I got discoed)  I get discoed every flight in AH, Always with a green beacon.  I really like this sim better, but I would like to have to learn how to land once in a while.   (most of the times I disco it results in a lock up as well, sometimes with the graphics distorting, or the screen turning blue)
Any help would make my very thankful.

You can get a trace route utility that will tell you exactly how your connection is behaving.  (A good freeware one is Pingplotter version 1.0.  2.0 is shareware.)  The website is www.nessoft.com.   This is REALLY easy to use, just type in the address you want to trace and pick how many times you want to do it, then click trace.  It's really pretty much self-explainatory.

Good luck
