Yeah but TK is just outside Houston.

It's not like he's living in the middle of the Sahara Desert.

Sorry but I have used Sateliite for two years now and Aces High plays just fine.

i'm in NW Sugar Land using DSL and have this problem as of late. 4 or 5 this week, think some of it might have been the storms coming through.

I'm on Comcast in south Houston and I have to reboot my modem and router when I have this problem. Flying lastnight in the TA was a pain in the prettythang. Good thing is I don't have to do this but once every couple of weeks or so.

How old is the phone line running to the house? If water has gotten into the box, the connectors could be corroded.

Xargos, phone line is just over a year old, but I think I found the problem. It was the modem I swaped it out and everything is working fine for now.

It must have been a winmodem. One thing about dialup modems is that you need to seek out a modem that is hardware and not software oriented as a software flavor uses your cpu to do all the work and that will cause bunches of trouble on a system that is less than tweaked.

ps... Best hardware modems are old US robotics

I'd look to the connections in the house and from the house to the pole. Also do you have any wireless phone on the line. Old phone line in the house that do not dead end are also a problem. All can cause noise on the line and cause lost data packets.

There are a lot of AH players that use dial up connections and have few problems. I live on the Jersey Shore in an old sea shore town, phone line problems are part of the life here. over the years I've completly rewired my home. That resolved poor line problems.
