packet loss

[KUzaG]

Need to know what modem you're using first m8 - we can take it from there.

pace 56 voice internal m8, with error control off, fifo buffers on max, software compression on and limited to 44000 connection (now i've done it to 42667)

I have recently been getting frozen in the middle of a game for a while, this is packet loss isn't it? How do I prevent this from happening anyone? if u can shed some light on it or fix the problem I'd be very grateful, cheers, ned

OK, well I have a 3COM v90 and get great pings of 100-140. However, I do also get the occasional bout of bad lag/packet loss. For example, in a 10 min Duel I usually get 2-3 little freezes, and every so often (maybe once a week) I get a massive one. To be honest it doesn't bother me that much. You could try knocking the receive FIFO Buffer down a notch - that helps me a little bit. Obviously make sure you have the latest drivers for your modem too.
If you're getting loads of them I would ring BT on 151 and ask them to check the line - I had problems last year and they sent an engineer out who fixed it.

in a ten min duel I usually only get one or none, so given the number u get, I'm happy, I assumed it didn't happen to others http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ubb/smile.gif
I had a strange occurence just now though, earlier today I had a freeze which I thought was a disconnection, but it stayed connected, but without any information being sent or received, it was weird, anyway thanks for your help, cheers, ned
