Server Connection Problems

Hello,

I have recently (from V Patch) have been discovering problems with connecting to hosts. At the moment i cant connect to a host with over 15 people in it. For some reason it will reach the black screen this would freeze (or sometimes just before the black screen). I was convinced it was this Wintv card but i have had my computer in pieces and discovered thats not the problem. I have done defragments and system restore aswell as disk cleanup and these havent made any difference to LFS. im lumbered without lfs

Please help,

Thanks

Hi,

If you have sky tv and have been offered Sky Broadband for £0-£10 P/M my advice would be not to take it. Since we have swapped from Wanadoo/Orange to sky broadband it has been hell ever since. Im timing out atleast 10 times perday and im running 8MB, during every timeout i have to get up go downstairs and reset the router. Sky have told us different things by different people (i.e To many computers, Main socket, Faulty WLAN Cards). This internet is only useful for people who browse the internet about twice a week (If its on).
As i get so furstrated by loosing my car on CLC server i have to wait in a very long que to rejoin the host. I also did some research and i 9/10 slagged the internet off with the following:

I recently switch from NTL to Sky, my motivations were simple: NTL is far too expensive and it is very difficult to speak to someone on the help line. The Sky offer looked on paper very attractive from £0 for the 2mb broadband to £15 for the 16mb... For Chrismas I decided to treat my self and went for the 16mb.
What I have experienced since is nothing but torture! The quality of service is terrible, constant drops (ie no more internet!) only solved by switching the modem on and off, and believe me this is very anoying when you have to lift your fat arse form the sofa every 5 minutes! When the internet is working (not often...) I get on average around 0.5mb (instead of the 16mb promised...). I managed once to get 6mb for 2 minutes which is still 10mb off the16mb I have signed for... I got on the phone with the support team after a very long wait (Ntl style...) and they were clueless, and useless... I am stuck in a 12 month contract, I cant wait until the 19/12/07, the last day of my contract...

This is exactly the problems what ive been having then i have to nag you guys thinking it was my pc or the router. I think Sky Broadband are going to do something about this quickly or people will be changing.

Whilst im doing this message can a few people kindly put the suppliers if they recommend them and they dont timeout? Because that would be very helpful because ive lost hope with sky but 0.0001% of me thinks that it will improve. Its clearly not any good for LFS, and hope you guys read this and dont get stuck with a 12month Contract which was the mistake we made.

Thanks,

Ebay Selling Fee's

S2 licensed
Hi,

I know this is a strange question to be asked on LFS but i have looked on Ebay and cant get my answer. We were going to sell are router and we were setting up a Ebay Selling Account. As we would probably only sell a few items on ebay and we were is the process of setting the account up it come up with something about monthly payments to ebay? Now i was wondering i thought the ebay selling fees (starting bid / Ending Bid) were all the fees that went to ebay to sell the item and there would be a small Paypal Fee to recieve the payment? Does anyone who sells on ebay could kindly help me?

Thanks,

Matt

Ethernet Cable Instead of Wireless Card

S2 licensed
Hi,

Since we have moved to Sky Broadband we have been sufering problems on my computer which is wireless. So ive been asking around and was told that try an Ethernet cable because wireless lags to much. I have seen on tv that Sky has had 2nd worst complaints, because its always off and on and slow. But most of the time its fast but i wouldnt recommend it. So i was thinking would a Ethernet cable improve the signal and i wouldnt lag and loose connection as much?

Please Help,

This is what i would try:

Firstly i would try it a few times to see if it just starts to work

If that didnt work i would do a diskdefrag just to test if your computer isnt messed up.(By doing tht you do Start>All programs>accessories>System tools>Disk Defragment).

Also maybe your spec of your pc cant cope with Windows Vista and LFS? (CPU or Ram)

Not saying these wont work but might aswell try putting more ram in depending on how much you already have

Good Luck

Sony Vaio Belkin Card Trouble

S2 licensed
Hi,

My brother has asked me to try and connect his wireless belkin card to are Sky Netgear Router. Every time i go through the Belkin program and i select the Network and then it asks me for the network key. I try putting in the key but its heximal keys not passphrase so it wont exept certain letters. So i tried going into profiles and creating one for the network which allowed me to choose passphase and type the network key in. After i have entered all the correct information and connect to the internet i try a web page (serveral ones) and it says page cannot be displayed. I have also tried 192.168.0.1 and that doesnt work eiter so im kind of stuck.

Please help, would be greatful,

Dedicated Server/Autocross

Hi,

Ive been strugling with this now for abit but when i was on single player (When my internet was off) i decided to make a Autocross layout so then i could run it on my dedicated server. Seen as i cant be admin because i have to connect through local area connection so i cant load my Autocross layout onto the server. I wondered is there any other way round this like dedicated server setup? or anyway i could get admin?

Please Help
