Hey.
OK, i am having net connection trouble. The problem is not specific to DAOC either, it can happen while i am just surfing etc.
I keep loosing connection to the internet, when it happens the ADSL light on my USB modem flashes, (the USB light stays on though)
I am told this means that sync has been lost with the ISP and the flashing is the modem trying to re-aquire it. Once the light stops flashing i try to reconnect and invariable have to try several times due to one of two specific error messages.
"Username / pasword not recognised on this domain"
"Time out error"
After three or four of these messages it finally reconects untill the next time it drops.
I cant see any pattern to these disconections, they appear to be totally random. I can go a full day with none, or sometimes get them every few mins.
My gut tells me this is a problem with BT or the ISP, but they keep telling me they can find nothing wrong. and they say the error messages on connection atempts are just the "system reseting itself" which is strange because sometimes i get the messages on the first connection attempt of the day when i get home from work.
I have done a full wipe and reinstall of windows,
Tried different modems
tried the BT test socket
Switched the ADSL filter
Switched the phone cable
none of it made any difference. My gut tells me this is not my equipment or something i am doing wrong, but i dont know enough about it all to be 100% positive.
Anyone have any ideas?
