Can't Play On-line

P-KhanP-Khan Join Date: 2003-05-27 Member: 16776Members
<div class="IPBDescription">title says it all</div> Everytime I manage to play NS on-line, I feel like giving a party. In 1 hour, I try 20 different servers, and only number 21 works. That is, until there's a map change, then the game dissconetcs, again.

When that happens, a message appears, saying "You were disconected form server: Couldn't complete connection". Is it my internet connection? I got a 33k modem (yeah, TOO DAMN SLOW!!!!). Or can it be the computer? I would disconsider the second option, since my computer is pretty good, but, it can be.

Computer configuration
- 1 ghz
- 128 MB RAM
- Pentium III
- Windows XP Professional

I think that it's enough. If any more detail of computer needed, plz tell me so.

    Sounds like your connection. If you call your ISP they can help you troubleshoot the issue or point you towards your phone company to check on things.

    I'm not all smart on computers, in fact, all I can do is play games, use word (these things) and play around on DOS. I hear everyone say about ISP, hell, even when the NS console says about ISP (that I don't have one connected, or something similar).

    So, could comeone plz enlight me with this..... <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> very embaracing <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> problem?

    So that's whats an ISP!! I don't live in the US, or UK, so I didn't know what it meant. Thanx for clearing that up for me.

    And yeah, 33k makes everyone cry. Specially me. But hopefully I'll upgrade it into cable next month (if I convince my dad that paying a bit more for using Internet is a good idea).

    Thank you MonsieurEvil, I'll call them ASAP. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    What Half-Life mentions is your "IP." It's basically your identification code while you're connected.
