Hey folks

two questions i need help with (from thos c+ and .net techno dudes ):

1. The past week I have been getting "lost connection" a lot more than ever before. I am with adsl Mweb on a 512k line - any advice?

2. Are there ever SF games and what happened to the SF server - is it just me or has it gone?

Thanks

Tell the idiots at SAIX to stop unplugging the blerry switch to let their friends get into the server.

Had no problems -- mebbe an issue with MWeb (Get a decent ISP guys, really!!).

As for SF - yes, it does exist, however it was being used as a clan server last night.

Is MWEB ADSL not just basically resold SAIX? In which case it does not matter which ISP.

I see you are also in Cape Town. On Friday evening, me and two friends who were all playing BF2 together got dropped at the same time, from different places over the city. I had problems on Sunday as well. I guess the ADSL network here in CT is a bit flakky at the moment.

It depends - some ISPs use Telkom's IPConnect facility, so you're basically using their authentication and session management systems. This could be what's happening here, especially since they both experienced connection troubles.

Note, I'm prolly talking complete bullshit here. I just felt like making pretty and meaningless diagrams

I am impressed witht the diagram, especially the Kippie bit. Even if I am not sure what it means in this context, since without a drawing of Table Mountain on it, I am lost.

@ZN, all I was trying to say is, do not feel alone.

Edit: Is the drawing to scale? That pipe you draw to the internet seems a bit wider than what it really is.

Hey Fivel & Zn...check if TG was in the vacinity...he stole all of my bandwidth the other night and then he blames the ISP....

[TG]

Ahh sorry. I didn't save the drawing. I should have put a label on the pipe that says "56k".
