Seems as of late everytime i log on to play COD UO i play for about 15 mins & i lose my connection to the net! I am on a network however it is only the puter i play on that loses its IP. As i am posting this from the other one right now. I try to rest the IP it wont allow me! I then try to reboot comes up with the network problem in the system tray. I shut the puter down & leave it for awhile then it returns later. Maverick suggested trying to play COD without using Firefox which is what i did today but still had the connection problem. Anyone had a problem like this or have any ideas? I have run a virus scan & updated but still with no luck! The dsl modem has no reds on it looks normal.

Go into your router system and see if anything is wrong. Like on a Lynksis router, you can go to the settings. You may be getting packet loss.

maybe an IP conflict on the network?
Bad network cable?
Or you have your lease time set super short on your DHCP IP in your router? (doubtful that this would cause it, but had to throw it in)

Are you sure that you actually lose your IP and it's not some other problem?

i think it has something to do with COD as it asks me to send error report but of course my connect goes down so i cant send it!!

Could be CoD, could be network driver\hardware related.
Do the easy thing first and try updating your NIC driver and see if that helps.

i didnt say firefox you boner. I said it may be because of your xfire. I lost my connection after about 5 mins of being logged onto xfire.

Slider.... Do you get your connection back if you try and reset your modem?

NIC card was calfing! got a new one put it in but lost all my bookmarks!!
Neo has pointed me in the approximate direction but we didnt locate the bookmarks! Anyone else use FF & experienced the same thing?

TY in advance

Losing bookmarks in firefox is a known bug the developers say wont get fixed until possibly after the next major release of the product.

Sorry bro, but I think theyre toast if I read the bug report properly.

Ut oh! Sounds like a great time for me to backup my bookmarks! Whew!

have you tried replacing your network cables? or your router?

I've had similar problems with my internet, but not to the extent you're having them.

We also had some damage done to the DSL line coming into our house (we split it with a spade while digging...) so we have to check that too?

It could be that.

Ya thank goodness for the Explorer favorites i still had! Who was it that convinced me to switch to this wonderful program without tell me to backup bookmarks??

j/k

ty for your help all

i never had problems with FireFox or Xfire...

And another thing, I deleted IE from my computer completely, b/c the moment that I would open a single IE browser my computer would get spammed to death on the spot, viruses by the hundreds would flood in, and it would take days before I could clean things up and block off IE...
