But i saw the timeout things and they were set low and i wondered if this would cause a drop out. Sometimes it happens like every game when your a fw minutes in, sometimes it will not happen for a few hours.
So i was unsure if this would be a reason. I will try up the time on all the time out options so it might have a positive effect. I will have another look when i get home and try post some more info.
Thanks for the ongoing support guys!
EDIT: Only COD seems to have an issue, but i have not played many other online games for some time. lso there is usually no one else online when this is happening.
Not sure that disabling interleaving is a wise thing to do. From what I can see the line is not brilliant so turning off interleaving would make it worse (in terms of stability) and possibly result in more disconnections, not less, but no harm in trying as it can always be turned back on again!
As for idle timeout, in your router settings go to Internet Settings and you should be able to edit PVC1. There should be a drop down for Connection Type and the ability to set it to 'Always Connected'. Set it to that, no need to touch the Idle Time as that is now ignored and Apply the settings.

Hmmm... wrote:
Lots of 'gamers' like to have interleaving turned off (
if their line can handle it
) - this puts your line in 'fast' mode and reduces latency(delay) which is obviously good for gaming!Yep, it does sound like it's a rather ropey line unfortunately.
Your offer about remotely looking at Emmie's line stats sounds good.
Also if anyone is able to find out if Emmie has a modern BT Master Socket so he can try the TEST socket, that would be worthwhile...

I can try mess about with the time out options as this could be what is causing it and hopefully it is so it can be fixed.
The thing i dont get is i can sign straight back into Xbox Live when i get kicked, so maybe when it does this time out thing it only lasts a second or so, but if it happens at a certain time i get kicked??
(you just know when someone answers the phone and says "Oh **it it's Emmie" lol you will all be hoping you dont get that call!)

moto and numnutt working tonight, I'll give them fair warning :)
If you need help never be afraid to call, that's why we're here!
I played 4 games of COD4 and did not get kicked once, so a great start and hopefully it can stay like this!!
Thanks Freeola
You spoke to Numnut me thinks. I was waiting for your call this evening but you got through to him instead... :(.
Never mind, keep an eye on it, plenty of other things to try by the looks of it :)
I just know it is being sneaky, waiting for me to get all excited about not getting kicked, then BAM it will throw me out lol.
Well it is deffo better so thanks and if it starts to go a bit iffy again, expect a call : D
