Okay, so I can log into a server fine and play for about 3-5 minutes before I go LD. Is there any helpful information someone can give me. My cable modem is always on and its not my internet because I tested it using someone elses wireless. Im not sure what to do. Can anyone off some suggestions please? :roll:

Try to tweak your datarate.txt file, try some values between 5 and 10.

Okay, I stayed in the game for about 10 minutes this time but nevertheless, still LDed out. Any more suggestions? :D
PS. I turned off the wireless connection and kept the wired on. It might have been that the wireless and the wired were switching off and taking turns. Im not totally sure tho.

If you're behind a router, the ports could be getting blocked or not routed correctly if you're not the DMZ or have all EQ ports forwarded to your PC.
This would hinder you every 10 minutes.

Actually for LDs you want a LOW datarate, not high. Try 2 :)

Okay, I found out what was wrong. It actually was my neighbor's wirelss that my computer was picking up and automatically switching to. This would mean that iI lost my connection. Thanks all for the help. :D
