Martin -- it sounds like screen saver or power management.... check that no power management on in control panel --- and no screen saver. Also check in modem properties that 'disconnect if idle for....' is not ticked (not sure where it is.... hope that helps ...

Hi All Im getting deperate. Running vroc my modem disconnects at about 3/4 race distance. About 20 secs before there is some disk activity. I tried everything (but obvisouly not correctly) and then reformatted. Thinking thats got it, but no its exactly the same. Any help much much appreciated.(it used to be fine) k6-2 550, 128mb, voodoo 3 3000, sb live 1024, ktx modem 33k, gpl1.2, dx7, 1.05 voodoo driver, glass of Jamesons Cheers Martin

Hi Martin, You may want to make sure that to uncheck the box under internet explorer/properties/connection/advanced that says to disconnect after x minutes. Even though you are connected and racing, windows seems not to recognise this as a valid connection and disconnects you from the race server. Not your ISP. Hopefully this is the problem :) Bye. Ian_R

No expert in this here, but: increase your replay-buffer turn off windows gimmicks like Fastfind,... use a fixed swap-file in windows. JensSchumi On Mon, 16 Oct 2000 20:11:29 +0100, "Martin Chapman" <[email hidden]> wrote:
