BTYahoo intermittent connection

[fraggie]

Hi

When downloading off of bit-torrent with BT yahoo i keep getting intermittently disconnected. There seems to be no pattern and a format and a new modem (from BT yahoo) hasn't solved the problem.

The modem/router they've provided is the BT Voyager 205.

(1mb service and im connecting via ethernet)

I never disconnected on NTL

what do u guys thinks up?

DMZ + Static IP + NBSIZE 512 = No more problems with my Voyager 205
downloading from 20 sources on RevConnect at 115k/sec + browsing + Groove Salad radio

open your "run" command on PC and type the following "telnet 192.168.1.1"

You will be prompted with a viking telnet session. Login with the system username and password provided to you by BT.

To view the current configuration type "get nbsize"

Mine displayed a max ip session of 192. To increase this type the folowing

"nbsize maxipsess 512" <press enter>

then

"commit" <press enter> this saves the changes

then

"reboot last" <press enter> this reboots the router. The change does not take effect until the router has been rebooted.

You got indoor/outdoor christmas lights up?

Check all the phone sockets have splitters on. Do you have sky box, if so does that connect to a phoneline?

do BT Yahoo have the right ports open remotely?

Not on bt yahoo...just bt and it's been horrid this last 2 weeks.

just check my router too and am no longer on the 217. ip range am now on the 81. ip range which might explain a few things.

ive fixed the problem now, bought a router from ebuyer and it works perfectly, the 205 modems are extremely bad, ive had 2 and neither work

buy a new router and thats the only thing i needed to do.

Stoo was being serious.

there is a know issue with certain cheap flashing christmas tree lights that case excessive electromagnetic inteference which has the potential to down your DSL connection.
