MP ettiquette: Or things that tic you off. Part Deux

[DrSpike]

Seriously War............the problems you have boggle the mind. I would suggest you ignored my advice about firewalls before, but that probably isn't behind your intermittent connection.

Check if other people who use your ISP face these problems or not. Do you check to see whether you can ping sites when you drop in the civ game?

We'll see after he moves into his new place with at least 20th century wiring. No use wasting time testing in his current place.

[War4ever]

a connection is a connection, if i can't get internet after a few tries..i just give up now....

its not like i don't have a firewall and a router for my puter now....

i am sure its some sort of wiring....

my latest issue has nothing to do with it though, its about a bad registry due to something i dl'ed off kazaa.... this i know for fact

[Alexander's Horse]

You should move house.

[DrSpike]

And download less porn.

[rah]

I just surprised that if it's a registry issue, why does it quit in the middle of the game. I would think that if you could start, it's not a registry issue.

[DrSpike]

True. You may well have these issues, but they are not the problem with dropping.

I'm suspicious because you seem to have many outages but rarely if ever before a game begins. You also don't mention outages at other times when just surfing.

If it wasn't you War I'd quietly believe you were just making excuses for quitting. Since we can rule that out I am pretty stumped.

Maybe he should delete and reload the game.

He's done that many times and will probably do it again

[War4ever]

Yes...... i drop when winning or losing and i am not the type to start a game i have no intention of finishing..no matter how hot the girl is.

i am at a loss....its so frustrating....its like i am on dial up but can't reconnect when boooted...???????

they have given me free months of service..they are at a loss as well....

there have been techies, my friends whom are techies...all of your advice, a new computer , etc.....its driving me crazy.....

my only solice is to switch isp's when i move and hope that this will clear up any issues...

as for the registry issue, mom made a surprise visit and i have my disk...

so unless the isp screws up ( hahaha i have said this before) i should be good to go...

looking at friday but no saturday game for me

[Alexander's Horse]

Maybe he should check his civ 2 CD or player for errors. Might be time to invest in a new copy.

[atawa]

Doesnt sound like a cd problem to me.

[DrSpike]

That can't be the problem......besides, War uses the no-cd crack anyway.

[Alexander's Horse]

That might be the problem.

[DrSpike]

Doubtful, since cracks were so simple back then...........and it really looks like a conn problem.

But if it were me I'd try everything anyway.
