Ryzom - View Single Post - [FAQ] LinkSys Fixes (Another Solution for 10 Minute Disconnects)

Okay - this is just getting odd. I can /still/ play just fine from my notebook, which is on a 802.11b connection. I can play for hours and hours without incident.

My desktop is on a wired connection - and for the past couple of days, I was able to play my first character slot just fine, and the others all disconnect after 5 minutes (everyone's saying 10 minute disconnects, but for me it's always been 5-6 minutes. O.o)

So today - I happily go to play my first char from my desktop a little before work, and... I'm getting disconnected every 5-10 (6... almost on the dot,) minutes again! Come up here to my notebook, and I can still run perfectly up here!

I'm totally at a loss of what it could be on my desktop. I've tried both a dynamic and static IP on the system (it's normally static,) just in case that matters for port triggering, to no effect. I've done everything short of DMZing the system (since I don't run a firewall on it - the crappy rudimentary Linksys firewalling has actually been enough for it.)

About the only thing I can think off of the top of my head is the fact that I have my desktop running through another router which is, in turn, bridged to the Linksys - which we had to do due to issues of where we had to place the Linksys in order to get decent radio coverage throughout the house. Nothing else has any issues with this (and we've been set up this way for a couple of years now, and multiple online games have never batted an eye at it,) but could this possibly be the issue? I'm really out of ideas here!

(I'd just go wireless on the desktop too - but since my desktop doubles as both a file server and VNC server for the whole house, I'm not giving up the extra bandwidth on it's connection!)
