Title: 11:45 is disco time
Post by: DREDIOCK on November 16, 2006, 09:01:21 AM
Had this problem a while back. then it seemed to go away for a while. Now it seems to be back again

Exact same time every night 11:45
I loose connection to host when playing AH

In looking in my events viewer I see that there is an error message at that time that says

   Event Type: Error

Prior to the error I am seeing a bunch of warnings that

Your ISP is refreshing the lease on the IP address.  Nothing unusual about that and it can cause a disco depending on how fast they can get the DHCP server to respond.

If the DHCP server response takes too long, a disco will happen.  There is nothing that can really be done about it, unless your ISP changes its release/refresh time in the server.

It is the nature of dynamic IP addresses and probably for about 50% of the discos that happen in a game.

when i was an ISP d00d, i could assign a permenent IP to subs that asked for it nicely.
most of the subs that asked for it were teh gamerers...btw if you talk to your ISP d00d, ask them for me if "sub" is short for subscriber or subnormal intelligence.  
i never got the skinny on that one...:O :O :noid :noid :noid :noid :noid :confused:

From the command line... IPCONFIG /RELEASE... and then IPCONFIG /RENEW  

takes a few seconds then for DHCP to give you a new address lease

Never tried it with an ISP based DHCP service though but assume it has to work because the "release" part is a command to your own computer after which it starts to broadcast to any DHCP server than can "hear" it until it gets a reply. If no reply comes it gives itself an APIPA address in the 169.x.x.x range. I replied to the thread in the computer harware/software forum with the impression he had a local router leasing addresses via DHCP.  Whatever, this reply was just to answer the "what's the command" question.
