Hi guys,
It's been almost a year now of being on ADSL and for the most part my connection has been running stable.
The only real serious problem I'm getting is that on instant messaging programs like MSN, Skype and Gtalk messages incoming and outgoing sometimes dont come through.
It simply vanishes from either side without alerting you or anything, on Skype the other user might be seen as Offline or it will report the messages arent received and on Gtalk it behaves somewhat the same as on msn.
This is really, really annoying.. my Encapsulation and VPI/VCI settings are correct, I've pinged several servers for hours at a time with no packet loss and I'm really out of ideas as to why my router is behaving the way it is!
The only visible problem I notice now and then is a little popup saying I've disconnected then it instantly reconnects again.. even though my Disconnect Timer is on 9999...
Some help would REALLY be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
edit: Oh yeah, I almost forgot.. when browsing the internet and I access a website.. it USUALLY doesnt manage the first time and I have to hit refresh repeatedly before something happens, why is that?
I guess I got so used to doing that that I forgot to mention that at first..
