Disconnected

Everytime I play NS I get disconnected, normally about 3 times every hour, it isn't because of reserved slots or anything like that as I have the same problem with other half life mods <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->. It has only started 2 happen recently when I got wireless LAN (yes I have been told its rubbish) but other people who haven't got LAN at all have had the same problem and dunno wat 2 do about it <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> can anyone help ?

    hmmmm

    ok, I am putting my bets on said LAN

    now what do you meen by:
    <!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->people who haven't got LAN at all have had the same problem <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    who are these people and why would it have anything to do with you? (are you in an apartment or a dorm or something?)

    now, when you get disconed, do you get a CTD (crash to desktop), do you get booted to the conn?
    either way what error msgs do you get (if any)?

    what happens if you instantly try to reconect? (type retry in the conn)

    do you get ping spikes?

    what is your connection to the internet?

    What is this wireless LAN?
    did you set it up your self?
    are you in the same room as the Hub? could you try that?
    Can you check signal strength from the Hub to you? (I don't know, I have never ussed wireless)
    assuming your router is half decent (you probably have a linksys) try just plugging directly into it via some good old Cat5.

    ok, well try ideas and give me answers <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    people who haven't got LAN at all have had the same problem = other people that have asked about this problem (I don't personally know them). When it disconnects 2 console not desktop and I don't get any error message at all. I don't get lag spikes at all unless its a crappy server. I have a 600k connection 2 the net, windows xp, 256mb ram, geforce 4 mx 420. The signal strength is always exelent - very good, always as this computer is almost directly above the other.

    hmm, /me is tumped

    what I would sugest doing is plugging said comp in ussing good old cat5

    infact if you can simply set it up the way you had it before the wireless lan that would be great (basicly try and figgure out if it IS the wirelles or not <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->)

    well I found out that the only servers that do this are ones that run hl v1110. Dunno how 2 solve the problem but maybe it could be fixed with an update or something because I know several people have this problem <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
