Right, had a reply from Eclipse on my probs on Sunday night and they are blaming either BT or my PC (surprise,surprise  :angry: )

but as I was trying to find out if anything was wrong I got the IP address from VV (cheers Karl) and tried to ping eclipse from the command prompt .... this I was able to do ...but it would only ping it 3 times then close the window down !!!!

thats not right is it ?

at the time (approx 10pm Sunday) I was getting strange results anyway from the 3 it was managing

1) 1ms
2) 22ms
3) 351ms

If I try it now I get normal readings ...(all below 20ms) but it still closes itself down after 3 readings !!!!!!

Is there summat else I need to do

pc noob out !!

4 or 5 weeks ago i was having trouble with my connection.

it just dropped in the middle of cs and that was it for 4 or 5 days.

After 45 mins of Greensleeves my ISP firenet blamed BT, saying that they were having trouble with their lines. 5 days later I managed to get back online.

since then, when I needed to disconnect my router (trying to network a mac unsuccessfully) it takes me 2 or 3 goes to get reconnected.

looks like everyone blames BT :ranting:

edit: I know this doesn't help, but i had to unburden somewhere

If it helps I am with Eclipse and my connection has been rock solid for days.

ping -t IPADDRESS

? :ph34r:

edit - do you mean you're just going STAR-->Run... and then typing "ping IP" ...the dos window will shut down as soon as it finishes executing (it always has!) If this is the case, they type "cmd" in the START-run... box and then do your pinging from the open command prompt window...

edit2 - The "-t" switch will make it continue to ping until you press Ctrl+C to stop it, or Ctrl+break or something like that. If you type the plain "ping IP" then it'll do 4 pings, which is the default

:withstupid:

[smite]

"ping //www.eclipse.co.uk -t"

To cancel press "CTRL +C"

Most OLOs (Other Licensed Operators) will blame and report the faults into BT so that BT do the expensive investigative work and narrow down the fault location for them.
