IPoker Problems

[mike saban]

I"ve been having major issues with staying on IPoker the last 24 hours or so, keep connecting for a few minutes and then getting error messages advising the connection to Poker Server is down.

When I am connected, the software is very laggy and tables are very slow, my general connectivity is good - obviously cause I"m posting on here and other poker clients are fine, but interested to know if anyone else as been experiencing any problems recently

Trying to identify if its them with the issue, my isp not responding well to that type of traffic or my laptop with the software.

Thanks

This seems to be a common problem that loads of people have with iPoker. I used to suffer with it, until I adjusted my MTU setting on my ADSL router..... it was previous set at 1500, and I changed it to 1200.... and not had a problem since.

Don"t ask me what MTU is, or why changing it made a difference - I just followed someone"s advice on this forum and it worked nicely.

MTU = Maximum Transmission Unit, its to do with the amount of data contained in an data packet - ok starting to sound sad, so will stop there.

Thanks for the tip - will give it a try

Does anyone know how to log on to Steve"s pc and set it back to 1500??

Ok, amended to the same settings, and so far so good, will keep an eye on it and see how we get on.

Many Thanks

this issue is still ongoing and looking around various forums, seems to be affecting a number of aol / talktalk users

[lukybugur]

If you are an AOL user, the recommended MTU setting is now 1450 (I see above that you"ve changed to 1200).

AOL also now prefer you to set your router to PPPOE (from PPPOA) and LLC (from VC).

Since their merge with TalkTalk, they"re also issuing some customers with new yourphonenumber@dialbb.com usernames. This seems to give greater connection reliability.

Hope this helps.

[mike saban]

Will try this right now. Cheers

[mike saban]

made the recommended changes Neil, will keep an eye on it and see how we get on, will also post your advice on Blonde forum as there is a thread on there too.

Thanks
Mike

how do i do this please

[mike saban]

You need to log onto your router Charlie and amend the settings on there.

[lukybugur]

Charlie,

Your router will prob have an IP address of either;

http://192.168.1.1
http://192.168.0.1
http://192.168.1.254

It depends on Router manufacturer.

Linksys default usernames and passwords are "admin" and "admin"

Netgear default usernames are "admin" and password is "password"

Use these to get into your Internet Connection settings.

I am not staying connected, tried all the settings, but still no joy.  I do hope i can stay stable long enough to play the league game.

This thread forum world-wide web won"t be sufficient to sort them unfortunately.
