Or maybe it's my ISP or something to do with the fact that it's raining cats
and dogs. Anyway, I decided to have a few hours playing D2, as you do. I
start a game with my new necro, bring in my chanter and BO slave as well as
my zon who I'm dragging through with the necro. Act 1 hell. Just get all the
machines in the game, party up and allow looting, go off and get my army.
Then I chant all the skellies and yell at them a bit with the barb. I head
off and clear the den and then all four machines get disconnected. The
'connection light' is still on on the router. so I rinse and repeat the
above. Same again.

*Five* times I get disconnected, each time it comes back with "lost
connection to battlenet", all machines at once. I've tried email and
websurfing, it's all good so there's doesn't appear to be anything wrong
with my end. Anyway, after two hours of this I'm off to watch TV or
something. This is getting too frustrating.

Hope y'all are having better luck with Bnet than I am today.

Try is again a few times and hope its not your modem.

My cable modem has had an internal buffer problem before when using eMule
and other P2P programs. (IE: It only disconnects & restarts when I have
alot of connections transmitting info).
I replaced my cable modem and *poof* problem gone.

My ISP refused that it could be the modem however and did ALOT of checks
before sending out an "engineer" to plug in a new modem. The "engineer"
said that the ISP already knew about the modems falling-over with heavy
traffic like P2P programs, etc and was replacing them for a few month now.

The reason I say "engineer" in quotes is because the only things these
"enigneers" seemed "trained" to do is plug in a network cable and a
power-supply. He had no idea about networks although his full job title was
"Network engineer" :¬/

It got better a couple hours after I wrote that, managed to play for a
couple hours. :-)

My Modem/router works really well. It's an Alcatel with four ethernet ports
which I then link to my 10/100 switch.
