This just started happening this week, so maybe it's an isp problem and not secondage related. Problem is it's only UO that it happens to.
Almost on the dot, every 5 minutes I freeze, then get a lot connection message.
As soon as that happens I'm able to log right back in and am good to go for another 5 mins.
I've read the various threads here and can't find anything. I have downloaded the suggested programs to help w/ lag, etc.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Alden
Lost connection every 5 mins.
Re: Lost connection every 5 mins.
This is my idea:
First figure out if it's your client or your internet connection.
Open a "command prompt", and type "ping 8.8.8.8 -t" (without the ").
You should see something like this continuously appearing:
Keep the window open, minimize it for example.
If you lose connection, check that window and see if the replies are still coming...

Most of them are in the 70's, but every now and then I get a ping over 1000ms or the request times out. Is that my isp?Batlin wrote:This is my idea:

Re: Lost connection every 5 mins.
Yes, I'm on wireless.
I've also seen the ping spike to over 2k and several requests time out within the first couple of minutes of it running.
I'm in the military and am deployed using a local internet provider, so I have more faith in my hardware than theirs.
