Phill Irwin 933421 Posted February 13, 2006 at 12:41 AM Author Posted February 13, 2006 at 12:41 AM Hi Norman thanks for the help,yes same thing i have tried them all at one time or another.I have bigpond adsl connected to an network card not via an usb,i am replacing the network card on wednesday & then doing some flight on vatsim to see if it fixed the problem.If not i will connect via usb & try again.As far as tweaks in frame rates & SQBOX i am at a loss.I have had a tech see the disconnections below are hes finding so far.. --------------------------------------------------------- So the situation we have is: The ADSL modem overheats or crashes and stops you from web-browsing and getting emails As you were pinging the other computer and re-starting squawkbox, your access was getting progressively worse. The Auto pinger showed that there were errors in connecting to the server after approx 1 hr of squawkbox being turned on. Re-starting the auto pinger and squawkbox degraded the network signal to the internet. So, there’s a problem with the network card, network cable, adsl modem or a software clash or incorrectly installed or setup software, corrupt host/winsock If we byp[Mod - Happy Thoughts] or replace the network card and you still get kicked off, then it is the modem or software. Software solution: Ping the modem Uninstall/reinstall squawkbox Disable and reinstall networking software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
