Posted: Wed Dec 20, 2006 12:14 amPosted: Wed Dec 20, 2006 1:26 ami have wireless, that happens occassionally, i just switch off the wireless box and then on again and it seems to clear the problem
Posted: Wed Dec 20, 2006 2:02 amCouple of things here.
1) Depends how hot the router gets. Over here i need to keep my wireless router in a well circulated room and sometimes need to turn the air-conditioner on to keep it cool.
2) you may need to assign yourself a static ip address. you can learn how here: www.portforward.com
3) is your network secure? ie do you have a password? if not you may have a whole bunch of other peolpe jumping on and off. My router is set to handle 4 computers, if a 5th connected one of the original 4 will be disconnected
4) How strong is the signal strength? for example 2 bars means that it is likely you will d/c and reconnect a lot. If the signal is weak you may have to move the router to a more central location with less walls between it and your computer
5) I assume you are using broadband, not dial-up. If all else fails, change you connection from automatic to manual connect. this way you can tell if the problem is your phone line (or cable). For example if you line is unstable, you may not notice because your computer automatically recconnects itself.
Another thing. If you intend to play online games, and you intend to host them. You will definitely need to open a port on your router. That website i wrote earlier will show you how.
Hope that helps.

setup
No idea if this helps Wooly but if you do a google search there are plenty of other help sites.
PPPoE Setup:
Click on Home tab and then on WAN on the left side of the screen.
Select PPPoE/PPPoA option.
Under Connection Type select 'PPPoE LLC' in the drop-down menu.
Enter username and your password
If you have connection with static IP address, you do not have to specify the IP settings on the router: the router will be getting the same IP from your ISP every time it connects.
Click on Apply. To save the settings into the router's memory go to Tools > [System] > Save and Reboot.
Give the router a minute or two to reboot and reconnect. Restart your computer and you should be able to access the Internet.
You do not have to run any login client on any of your computers because your router logs to your ISP automatically.
PPPoA Setup:
Click on Home tab and then on WAN on the left side of the screen.
Select PPPoE/PPPoA option.
Under Connection Type select 'PPPoA VC-Mux' in the drop-down menu.
Enter username and your password.

This is probably worse than your manual sorry mate.
