when you say crashes do you mean your connection drops? everyone drops from the room but the connection is fine? or the chat server crashes with an error? (looks like you're using FXServer) or something else?

i am using fx server and by crash i mean that yes, everybody drops from my room and my server is still up. when i go back into my server, it shows that everybody has been kicked out of the room. it never use to do this before. how or what can i do to provent it from happening. the funny thing is....that everytime this happens i am either gone or sleeping during the middle of the night.

any ideas? thanks mommyfox

does everything else stop working at the same time? (does your connection go down?)

How often does this happen and do you have a static or dynamic IP?

JustPaw · « **Reply #6 on:** September 21, 2006, 03:16:08 am »

I've been looking for answers to the same problem mommyfox...with no luck yet. My room does the same thing to me. I haven't caught it doing it as of yet. It's always in the middle of the night it seems. I've tried about everything i can think of. I've run all the tests at dslreports (except the real time monitoring..i'm not payin). I have a dynamic ip. After it happens if i don't have the comp set to static, the hash of my room changes (either way it crashes tho). I've changed my comp to static and that didn't help. I did, this time however, manage to get a different code when they all disconnected. Disconnected (64.148.160.33) code n-1 | s-2 | e10054 I'm guessing that it's some kind of bug in the server but i have no idea what. I've used fx for quite a while and it didn't do this before, and i know from talking to other hosts that it doesn't happen to everyone. I hope someone can figure it out !!

that's your connection resetting and your IP Address changing (different hash = different IP Address)... there is nothing you can do about that except change ISP (if you set a static internal IP on your LAN it won't change your external IP Address on the internet)

I knew why my hash changed. My puzzlement is why it just started. I've been on dsl for a long time, hosting with the same server. This never happened before and i know my ip has been being reset for ages. I upgraded to a 6 meg connection and got a different router in the process. That's all that has changed. I'm also running another computer wirelessly (i was before the upgrade too tho). If i've been on a dynamic connection this whole time (appx 2 years) why do you suppose the ip resetting has just, in the last few months, started to cause this problem ?

bughunter · « **Reply #9 on:** September 22, 2006, 02:16:06 pm »

the router isnt renewing the ip because the lease time is set that way is it ?..........
some routers have a lease time for dhcp config on a lan . i use a static ip for all my network so that isnt a issue for me...........
you say this prob started roughly the sametime you upgraded dsl and the router, hence the router could be the issue...........
just a thought..................

JustPaw · « **Reply #10 on:** September 22, 2006, 02:34:19 pm »

Is the lease time something i can change bug ? Or am i screwed with this router you think ? I wish i could afford their static but they want an additional 65 bucks a month and i'm just not gonna do it. I've hoped i could find a way around all of this. I posted a copy of my routers event log at dslreports hoping that maybe someone there can see an obvious problem. I'm just not educated enough to understand what i'm reading

What router is it? "some routers have a lease time for dhcp config on a lan". I recently set my router up so that each pc is a static ip recognised by MAC Address. MAC address is a unique identifier attached to most forms of networking equipment, ie the network card on each pc. That way the network ips are not set by DHCP, but automatically set so they dont change.

JustPaw · « **Reply #12 on:** September 22, 2006, 02:55:17 pm »

It's a 2Wire 2700HG-B Gateway Mick.

Trying to find manual

Mick832 · « **Reply #14 on:** September 22, 2006, 03:06:25 pm »

http://www.2wire.com/?p=266 I think thats manual. Look at page 29

Mick832 · « **Reply #15 on:** September 22, 2006, 03:12:12 pm »

Thats page 29 printed or page 35 of 131 as pdf document. In the manual I can see Set DHCP Lease Time as 24 Hours. Maybe as Bug said, that is problem. Try set that to never? Or set the IPs on each pc manually. Hope this helped a bit, now I must sleep

JustPaw · « **Reply #16 on:** September 22, 2006, 03:17:24 pm »

That's a different model Mick. I did find this in my router though. I'm just not sure what i should change and there's no real help section to tell me what the other options will do, other than a warning not to change them of course !! lol. I'd post a screen shot if my private ip wouldn't be displayed..i suppose i could block it out if need be.

I suppose i should have looked before i posted. In my routers config there's a section on private network. Options there are 4 boxes to tick. 1st - my private ip/255.255.255.0, 2nd - public ip/255.255.0.0, 3rd - 10.0.0.0/255.255.0.0 and 4th - Configure manually where it wants Router Address and Subnet Mask. (tick or untick Enable DHCP) First DHCP Address, Last DHCP Address and 24 is set in the DHCP Lease Time box.

KM · « **Reply #17 on:** September 22, 2006, 03:19:29 pm »

look at page 72 in the manual, it has a connection timeout there, make sure that yours is set to 0 (should be similar anyway if the manuals not exactly the same)

of course if you're still got the old router you could always put that back in, at least that one you know should be set correctly (might have to change the connection username/password if that has changed, but everything else should stay the same) - probably the simplest fix... if it ain't broke, don't get a new one that is

JustPaw · « **Reply #18 on:** September 22, 2006, 04:55:55 pm »

I've set the DHCP lease time from 24 hours to 999. That's the only option i saw to change that setting. I have it set to automatic in services.msc. If i should change that lemme know please. Bug, Mick and KM..thank you. I'll see what happens now
