"2 problems..."

I tried to watch soem porn earlier, and my speakers are not working, any ideas as they were working yesterday.

Second problem, any suggestions on how I can get a better ping as I believe this could be a reason why I get disconnected from Xbox Live! so often.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Okay, next attempt. Hit them hard. I've had my speakers for like 5 years. The bass is immense so I don't want to lose them but they need a bash every once in a while. After that I'm afraid that a trip to the shops may be needed. Just check that the wiring is not damaged in any way.

My headset works because I needed to listen to the porn.

Forgot to mention, I ahev both my PS 2 and my xbox connected online using the same eqipment and smae method. However, it is only on the xbox that it disconnects me.

Just check whether it is your speakers or the PC by getting some headphones that you know work and swap them with the PC cable. Play some decent music. Do they work?

I have ICS with a USB modem, 288/544 upstream/downstream.

I have a NIC plugged into the PC, then a RJ45 Cat 5 Crossover Cable Snagless 25MTR plugged into the NIC and PC.

I can usually turn the xobx on and play 1 game without being disconnected, but when I switch to another game it always disconnects me.

Heh, didn't know you could do that ping thing. Just got an average of 16ms for bbc.co.uk

As for the speakers, is it that they don't work as in no power lights etc or not work as in just no sound?

If the former then make sure they are plugged in, that the power cable is firmly attached, the fuse isn't dud.

If the latter then make sure that you have not muted the master system volume. Check through the sounds part of the control panel.

As for your ping times what are they? To find out, open a DOS window (If you run XP then go to Run and type cmd. This will open a DOS type window.) and type ping . I use www.bbc.co.uk as I can pretty much count on it to be running. I get around the 26 ms mark.

I doubt it is actually your pings though. What type of set up and hardware do you use for connecting to Live?

tut tut tut, i am very disapointed in you. was it good
