Gateway problems

Pulchritudinous · 09-08-2008, 10:25 AM

Making this topic on behalf of a friend... he uses Sky Broadband and has ALOT of connections problems where his connection will just drop out and he says when he connects it's through a gateway and when it cuts out it's because the gateway has gone. It happens near enough 7:30 every evening but also happens at random. Just would like to know why this happens and wether it can be corrected as playing wow just isn't as much fun without him :P

Sky Broadband 8MG, ran through a router. XP.

I'd suggest your friend register here and do this debugging in the first person, it's going to be pretty difficult with a middleman.

Basically, I translate his words into english and write the posts for him, i see myself more a translator than middle man ;) I will let him continue replying to this topic from behind my account.

Mod edit: language.
