Getting Disconnected When Either Gaming Or Watching Videos Online?
Mar 30, 2011
I keep getting disconnected from internet every once in while. Maybe for a minute or less, but there was never any obvious sign of disconnection, IE. my tray icon never says disconnected or limited connectivity. But there are signs of getting disconnected when I am either gaming or watching videos online. The video would buff a bit then get stucked, then loads after a few to 30 sec delay. When gaming, I would lag out or have everyone waiting for me to connect back (warcraft3, starcraft When I am downloading files, this does not ever happened, no matter how big the file size is. This problem started a few days ago. I tried restart the modem but I cannot possible do that every 15 mins. Another problem that could possibly be also be the same is that I am connected but cannot browse websites. If I am downloading anything, it will still keep download, i just can't browse or log on to online games.
I keep loosing internet conection when i`m watching youtube videos. Conection is wired and super fast fiberopticks internet. Trouble shooter says: no valid IP adress and one other thing. As soon as i restart the laptop everythig fine untill i try to watch again. Afraid i will destroy the computer by constantly restarting
Since I've bought a new Cisco router last summer,, a Linksys E1200 (v.1 updated...) (always in the wireless mode), my laptop (Sony, Vaio VGN-NW110D) freezes when I stream videos online or when I use skype video calls. It sometimes freezes for a few minutes (in that case it's just really extremely slow and it sounds like a satanic robot), and then comes back (but does it again a few minutes later. Or sometimes, and this is more frequent with skype video calls, it completely freezes, and I have to reboot the hard way...This never happened to me before and I've been watching videos and video skyping for years. I have windows 7, service pack 1 (32 bits) now . I have windows 7 now, since about the same time I bought the router. But what makes me think its related to the router is that when I'm at work, or at my parents, or sisters, or boyfriend's house, this problem does NOT occure.... I don't know if this information could be relevant, but this does not happen when I make videos calls with skype on my iphone.
So I got 8MB/1MB internet at home and so far I haven't been able to fix the problem I have: if I watch youtube and try to play pretty much any game that uses internet, i go from 70ms ping to 300ms++ instantly. Even if only two computers are on and both have the same game on, just opening a Google Chrome with one youtube tab on causes a HUGE ping. Two computers with youtube and CS 1.6 on shouldn't cause that.My setup is as following: old ZyXel ADSL-modem 660 series with one LAN port and web config (so it has settings to be modify) and a Linksys WRT54GL with DD-WRT v23. All computers I use run either 32-bit Windows 7, Vista or XP. However, it doesn't matter which computers I use; I've tried this with more than 5 computers already. All cables have also been tested and changed.
theres something wrong with my computer, Youtube works fine, but videos on facebook, and other websites dont work. Even when i watch live sports streams, it doesnt work. The video takes ages to load, and keeps freezing and lagging. I have tried many websites and none of them work
OK I want to be able to play MMORPGS and other online games without any latency (or as little as possible). I have wireless 25mb internet in my house but the router is not in my room it is about 25 meters away in my parents room. I experience latency with my current set up while gaming online so I have decided to switch to wired. What is my best option for doing so? Running a wire through from the router to my room would be possible but I need to know if the length will effect performance and what type of Ethernet cable I would need (including estimated price). The other option is to move the router from that room to mine but im not familiar with how this would be done and what the costs would be
How to I find out what ports my Playstation 3 uses for online gaming? Im sure i could search online and find out but im saying how do those websites find their information? For example, even if it doesn't, let's assume Playstation Network uses port 250. How would I manually find this out? And once I find this out, how do I find out what ports any particular game uses? This way I can forward all of these ports in my router. Also, am I correct in assuming that I could simply skip all of this port forwarding and just assign my Playstation 3 a static IP address and place it in my router's DMZ, thus forwarding ALL ports to my Playstation 3? my roommate has an Xbox and plays on Xbox Live. We own 2 routers. Is there any way I can connect 2 routers to my cable modem so that 1 router can be dedicated for my Playstation 3 while the other router can be dedicated for my roommate's Xbox?
I'm looking for a very strong wifi adapter for my gaming pc. My router and modem are both below me in my home so I can't run the Ethernet cord to my room.
To play one i game i need to open ports 7777 and 7778 , to do that i must access my router.When i connect to standard router ip192.168.1.1 it wont work. To solve my problem i checked the name of router and read the official support.My routers model is Speedtouch 546 v6. and at official faq the adress is given, but it still wont work, then i noticed i have second router i think, its used to connect 2 TV for my internet television, its model is Zyxel ES- 105 a , in official support , their given adress wont work.
i have a d-link Dir-825 (Hardware Ver. B1/Firmware 2.02NA) and i wanna connect my ps3 to the 5ghz for online gaming but i cannot find the option for it. also when scanning on my iPod Touch and PS3 for a wireless connection i cannot find the SSID that i named for 5ghz and the only one that shows up is the other SSID i named for 2.4ghz.(both SSID are not the same name). is it really worth switching from 2.4ghz to 5ghz?
I am with a reliable, well-supported local ISP. I have a brand new router, AND modem, both with the latest firmware/updates installed. I have tried resetting routers and modems, changing channels, moving the the position of my router for better signal. And yet still, inexplicably, my connection continues to be slow and choppy, and extremely unreliable. Greatly varying download speeds, and constant disconnecting. I have run out of things to try, short of calling in a technician. Is there ANYTHING I can try to do?
I take my ASUS G53SW laptop and play games on steam. My problem is that my wireless connection is so slow and I am limited to single player only games, I get bored after awhile and would rather play some online games. While trying to update a patch for League of Legends I was getting a whopping 5-7 Kbps download rate. If I try playing an FPS such as Counter strike, or left 4 dead I can join the game fine, but then my ping skyrockets into the 500+ range.
I have a 1.25 mbps download and .2 upload speed. I have a netgear n600 router and have wireless and cannot change to wired. I have around a 120 ping all most always. My current speed is the best in my area too. Is there any kind of equipment that will give me a lower ping for online gaming? Is there any router settings for this?
Moved into my grandparents for the time being. They have a DSL network...not sure how fast, but it seems very slow. I got a new computer and had to download CS:Source again over steam. It took all night to download and now when I try to go find servers none show up
They have a tiny motorola dsl router. Not sure on the model number as some of the numbers o the sticker have faded away. I hooked it up to my Netgear WGT624 v3 wireless router via the gygabyte 54mbps wireless pci card.
Can I test the connection to see if it is capable of running online games? I've got my iphone 4 hooked up to the wifi and it runs fine...same with this computer web surfing
I randomly get disconnected from the online applications that I'm using.(Msn, skype, online games, etc.)And I'm running this program in the background to check what's going on.As you can see, everything is normal till I get 0 ping for a couple of times, then it immediately goes back to normal till it hits 0 ping again.It's very random, it happens on the 345th hop or 789th etc.I'm on a wi-fi connection but not using wireless modem.The cable's plugged to my computer.
I just had Comcast setup my internet and it is really fast. 30 down, 10 up, 40 ping, my connection to my computer (wireless) is very fast and my online gaming (wired) is not laggy at all.The problem lies with the connection dropping when I am online gaming. I connected directly to the modem and there's no problem at all. I connect to my Linksys EA3500 and once I start playing in an online game, I disconnect from Xbox Live and am dropped from the game... anywhere from right away until about 10-15 minutes into the game. This is the only time where my connection falters at all, otherwise it is great. But I play online a lot, and competitively, so I obviously need a stable connection.I have not had this issue with my previous ISP in New York, Time Warner and that connection was much worse. I'm thinking it must be a setting on the router that is causing this, but I can't pinpoint what. I tried automatic AND static connections from my xbox to the router. On the static connection, I even put a DMZ on it, but to no avail.
I have a blueray player that I want to put in the computer that works as a server for me. The server is the computer that I have the vpn attached to and is therefore the one that gets all of the downloads as well.I am also thinking of upgrading the network for this to 1000 bit - N standard? With the faster throughput on the internet will it be feasible to stream a blueray across the network?
i often want to watch a live streaming but after a while i disconnect from the internet with no apparent reason.Sometimes the internet comes back in some seconds, sometimes in minutes, sometimes in hours and sometimes it just wont come back even if i reset the modem.Restarting the laptop always works...!I saw some threads in regard of the same matter but i couldnt work anything out.
I have a NAS (DLink) connected to my router, and my samsung smart TV. I currently use a Boxee Box for the family in another room, and it works great. However, I now want to be able to watch the movies (.mkv's) stored on my NAS, on my smart TV in my room. I want to be able to do so without leaving my PC on. The TV uses a Samsung 'dongle' to connect to my WiFi.
I don't have a DVD drive in my Windows Media Center PC that's connected to my TV. I was wondering if there's a way I can insert the disc into a networked PC that has a DVD drive and watch the movie on my Media Center PC.
Although our usage policy clearly states NO PORN, i'm still catching users watching porn. I'm to the point where i'm going to start shunning mac addresses. Before I do that I would like to first send them a message, like Net Send used to do, warning them to stop.
My internet worked for like 4-5 days then suddenly stopped while I was watching some random movies on youtube then I keep getting this error :"Local area connection" doesn't have a valid IP configuration, I could go see the university support, but the problem is they don't work during the weekend and that's the second time I have this problem within a week. That's annoying and leave me without internet for couples of days[CODE]
I have my wireless connection set up and everytime I open a video file, my wireless connection disconnects and then re-connects after 30 odd seconds. It also happens when trying to stream video through Veetle or Sopcast. I have spent hours on google trying to find the solution to this and can't find anything. I have tried switching my firewall off, changing tons of settings of my wireless connection. I also updated my Broadcom wireless driver to the most recent one.
I am quite new to wireless side and had a small Q regarding watching debug output while i am ssh to the WLC? I tried the other day and did not see any messages, now this could be for the reason that nothing triggered or perhaps it needs something like terminal monitor?? i couldnt find any such command. my WLC is 5508 running 7.3 version.
I want to know how could I configure a Router Cisco DDR2201v1 for watching my IP Camera System from anywhere with a internet connection. I already try to open a port in the NAT virtual server configuration but it didn't work.
While watching anything from Netflix thru my Wii gaming console, i keep getting disconnected and have to restart. When I plug the ethernet cable directly into the Wii, this problem does not occur. I have a Linksys BEFSR41 ethernet 4 port router.
I have some 1080p video files on my PC. Since my PC isn't powerful enough to play the files smoothly, I have been streaming the content to my PS3 using Windows 7 media sharing.
This works well with no noticeable loss of quality.
My problem is that I have to go into the services on my PC and restart the WMPNetworkSvc service every time I switch the PS3 on, otherwise the PS3 doesn't detect the PC.
wat is wrong with my new ps3 160 gig it want at all play videos but i still have full access to going on sites and on top of that i cant get rid of trend micro in the tool bar
