Places to look (in order of likelihood): -Internet setup in Windows/Internet Explorer. Is it set up with any no traffic/low traffic/ timing disconnects? Online poker is very low bitrate, sometimes a PC thinks it's no traffic. -Malicious software. Run 'Adaware', 'Yahoo toolbar Antispy' and an antivirus program like the free 'Antivir'. -Physical network problem: either your wireless router is dropping or a physical lead or even your phone cable is damaged/trapped. This would cause a connection to drop. -Wrong modem software. Check for driver upgrades -Your ISP may be crap. Longshot, but possible. Good luck, let us know how you get on. |
