Getting more and more suspicious about our router/modem, as Tom Parker wrote about his router also causing him to lag or disconnect. Maybe that Linksys modem we have can't cope with the connection speed and makes and makes an "emergency disconnect"?

Anyone able to see what the problem is and can give me a hint?

Hello, I am currently trying to find out why I am disconnecting from servers when other competitors seem to be fine or doesn't get disconnected while only I do(Doesn't always happen, but it's a pain in the ass if it does!)

I have moved my attention from the servers(They can't be all crap or lagging all the time, can they?) onto my connection, router/modem.

This I posted somewhere else:

Well, I am trying to find the "bug" in the system to race without disconnections.

Can you tell me some things: What is considered a good modem? What should it be able to handle? I have no clue about that stuff, sadly.

Also, how fast the connection should be...

This one here looks like the Linksys modem we have:

http://homestore.cisco.com/en-us/switch ... ewprod.htm (It looks similiar to ours)

What I believe the connection itself is able to perform:

ADSL plus 16000/1000 kbit/s I think... From here:

http://www.solnet.ch/produkte/zugang/adslplus/

Trying to get to know how good it is, there seems to be a 20000/2000 option, but more expensive and not that much better.

Oh:

We have 3 PC's. The router, which is at the same time the modem I think, is connected to my father's PC and the #2 slot is for my laptop.

Does a router/modem like the linksys require a software to be installed on the main PC that it is connected to? And if, do the other PC's need that too?

Best thing would be that I order everything to make it a "racing connection", but you need money for that.

Btw: "rTractor" runs rather fine, I don't get that stuff often when driving in the GPVWC.

This connection exists since about 2007 I think(Before LFS). But only started to get serious during winter 2009 when I got LFS and thus needed the connection for more.

I'd really like to spot the trouble-maker in the system, I wanna race without worrying about the connection(It's not always like that, but it gets annoying when it does).

Well, basically, I need to find out if our modem/router we got in '07 is a total w*nker of equipment or not. Maybe it can't handle the connection's performance?

Or if it is the connection, but I don't really think it is the problem.

Any help is appreciated.

Note that I am a layman, I don't really have a clue, that's why I ask. We also didn't set up the connection and router, it was probably done by network professional, who's retired now from his job.

Quote from squidhead :

so, from this commercial we have learned that a Mini is a pefrect obstacle for proper manly machines?

Anyway, this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kq-AtzZuSJw is the best commercial with a mini I've seen...

The Upper of the video wrote "Mini MORRIS" in the description. WTF?

It may be Mini, it may be Cooper, but it's surely NOT Morris.

Apart from that, much better.

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

(or even some Chinese fail street-track for the lulz)

OH LORD.

Have you heard about the DTM closer 2010? It was FAILTASTIC.

NEVER go to China apart from racing at Shanghai. I tell you, NEVAH.

Not to forget the World Series by Nissan(Now Renault).

LOL Bernie looks like "WTF Is this sh*t? I need to go back making money quickly!"xD

Nice report, as always

Coincidence you miswrote Lombardi the first time you mentioned him?xD

Quote from zippytheone :

I think I had slight engine damage but meh. Didnt hurt me as much as it could have.

Failed in S3 each lap trying to avoid damn pole. Then on my best lap I failed in that tricky right hander before S1/2 split and lost about 2 tenths. Ahh well. 2.24.27 isnt THAT bad. We arent last so all good

I saw that, nice lap Tom

And yeah, that 200 kp/h corner is hard to get.

Quote from Cornys :

You ended up on your lid didn't ya?

Well, you were there and saw it when I did, right?

I wanted to push Simon to the lead(WTF? Me pushing Simon to the lead?) I taped him and started billiarding between the walls

Instead of intimidating the other drivers, I intimidated myself. Great job

Quote from Inouva :

Good idea swis, no get to work and make the server and the advert's

I will join

Swiss, please.

No sorry, my net is not good anyway with timeouts atm it seems, and how can I create advert's when I can't use any graphic program anyway?

"Animenation Motorsports Server"

Where the advert banners are filled with Japanese commercials and manga characters looking onto the track.

And Kyoto's obviously their base. Where Initial-D like XRT's drift through every corner and XRR are practising touge battles.

Well, things that cross my mind when thinking about it

Quote from zippytheone :

This is moar important than GT3 me thinks

So yeah, I shall be there

Wanna haz TS together? Must be there too, need training anyway.

And show my cool skin

Wow... Well done Jesse Nieminen!

I bet it will look cool on track

Wow. Huttu NOT going to win?

Not bad, cute one

Now they want Kamui back, huh?xD

There are several good tracks in Asia, why don't they just go there?

I don't understand(as always).

Antti Kalhola should work for TV stations and do videos and documentations. He's really good, I watched all of his videos I think.

Great. That's like the Asian Cup(Football) being played in Europe...

Just tried on MultiBC, doesn't look like it has been archieved yet...

At least we switch to the FOX now, one car I've driven already in LFSCART Light.

Quote from BlakjeKaas :

It's so small.

That's why that BMW doesn't even deserve to be called "Mini". It's not small at all!

+ I don't care about BMW Minis. Austin Mini (Cooper), that's a nice car and the original.

Quote from LineR32 :

The stream was crappy, video was ok until they starting commentating, then it kept buffering every minute or 2. Only saw your car until lap 10 iirc. I had to keep switching to LFS Remote to see what was going on properly.

I miss my scroll wheel.

Yeah, I heard everything was FUBAR, also the switch to the NDR server caused confusion, at least that server was good until I disconnected without warning.

Thanks to the two of you(You and Chrisuu01) for the help, hopefully I'll be able to show more next round

LEUCAT watches you finishing 4th, Kevin. LEUCAT says "miou, I can do that better, and even drink milk at the pit stop, miou!"

Quote from LineR32 :

Sucks that you disconnected in feature race.

You showed up a few times on the cam though.

Sprint was absolute fail. Somehow, my G25 messed up and had a higher lock, what meant for me I had to turn the wheel further, so I had to cross my arms, only finished 22nd...

Feature, I was running rather fine, even though I was blocked, and I had a great fight with Drda?(You saw that probably) until I lost connection once more

And then, I hit Simon... Grrr, stupid, shoud I go buy a new modem and a better connection from the provider so it doesn't happen or is it that drunken server??!



Looking forward to more though, in the end, I was only battling for 17th, but it was fun
