Zava speaking from a UK internet providers perspective.

The amount of rain we have had and are still having has caused some serious issues for connections in the affected flooded areas.

What speed connection do you have with BT. If its an up to 8mb circuit they are rate adaptive, so are nowhere near as stable as the bog standard 2mbps.

How do I work my speed out? It says my Wireless speed is 54.0mbps but that's all I can find.

Wait a minute. You are on a wireless connection? That can cause a lot of problems from the start. Wireless connections always have some level of bit errors associated with them.

For UDP, it means a lost packet. So, keeping those bit errors low is important. You can reduce the speed of the wireless connection which reduces the errors. Or you can physically connect to the router and not use wireless at all.

You basically have to remove the wireless part from the connection before any progress can be made.

I am assuming your physical link terminates into a wireless router where you live.

Yes, I use Wireless. But when the problem started I physically connected. But when I turn off my Wireless it's as if my physical connection isn't on. So beasically I have two connections - Wireless and Physical. But Wireless seems to be the only one working.

If you need to know, I physically connected with the Wireless still on. So how do I get the physical to work?

Now I'm really confused. You unplugged your computer's wireless card, and plugged in your cable instead? Wait, what kind of connection do you have, cable or DSL?

Zava · « **Reply #20 on:** July 25, 2007, 07:57:07 AM »

No. I did nothing to my Wireless. Listen:

Before the problem I used Wieless Connection without ny physical ( connection from PC directly to Router through a cable ).

When the problem began, I plugged in a cable which connected me to my router. That's it. But it doesn't seem to fix it. And my physical connection seems to act like a Wireless.

And if I unplug my Wireless will it fix anything? Cause I currently have my physical connection and wireless connection. But when I turn off my Wireless I can't connect, as if my Physical Connection isn't turned on but it says it's connected.

I would try removing your wireless card altogether. If you are then unable to connect, then you will know that your regular connection isn't working.

In your Networking panel (Start->Settings->Network), there are probably two ICONS. One for your wireless connection and one for your Eterhetn card. Right click on the wireless one and disable it when you want to use the physical link.

Ok. Done. My Physical Connection is now 100Mbps. But I still tend to disconnect, but not as often.

Elimiinating the wireless part will yeild more accurate PingPlots. So now, try running them.

You mean another picture thingy of my PlingPlotter, right? Here goes!

Zava, what were you trying to tell me in my server today?

Zava · « **Reply #27 on:** August 02, 2007, 12:16:21 PM »

That my dad thinks it's our Broadband's speed. So he will try and get a better one or something. Till then I may not be playing for a few months.

I'm sorry to hear that, Zava.
