Fix for Broken Connection [merged]

[Lady Gwen]

I am still having issues, so I havent played as much. I get so tired of the disco dancing. I might try the Direct x9.

I also had this kind of problem with a broadband modem that uses standard TV coax cable, but I found a solution. The problem was unused cable ends by other computers in the house (The Motorola Surfboard modem can only use one per connection, so we move ours between computers), so I plugged the other cable ends with double-barrel cable splicers, hoping they would act like terminating resistors, and it actually did work.

Why don't you just connect a router to the Surfboard? I have mine set up that way.

I just think this thread needs a bump. It should be a sticky.

[Crazy Cat Lady]

It's been a sticky.

I personally installed and wired my internet and router, so I'm a bit confused. I'm using the Linksys WRT54G and I dont recall changing the password or username. However, a blank un and a password of 'admin' doesn't work for me. Is there anything I can do about this? Could I reconfigure it at all?

[BayouGirl]

I use a WRT54G. You can reset the router to the factory defaults by pressing the reset button on the back of the router and holding it down for 30 full seconds. This should revert the router's settings to the factory default. At that point admin as the password with a blank username should get you into the setup page.

Look, I really want to thanki everyone that contributed to this thread with workable fixes. My daughter and I have struggled with this issue for TWO YEARS, with NO help from Toontown or the occasional tekkie that comes over to work on our home network. His response was to suggest replacing a Linksys router which is otherwise working fine (no it wasn't Geek Squad ;-)! I have some grasp of technical issues and was able to change the router port triggering and Qos settings easily. So far it has worked like a charm in the space of time we would have been booted at least ten times.

Many, many thanks.

Hi. Ive been having the same problem only mine only happens when I get a phone call or I dial out,after I am already on the phone it will stay connected.I have talked to my internet server and they said I need a filter.I dont know what to do.Please help!!!:confused!!!

[LadyVioletTwinkletoe]

If you have DSL, you need a filter which plugs into your telephone jack and then into your telephone. These are not expensive or hard to find; Wal-Mart, Lowe's, Home Depot, Radio Shack would all have them.

I think Geek Squad is a great service provider. The only reason you people think
it is bad is because it has the word "Geek" in it.

[King Bingo Supertoon]

Yea, can anyone say it for a kid to understand? I have no idea what stuff I'm supposed to do. Can anyone? Its confusing. None of these words I understand. All I know is that my ToonTown is always disconnecting. So what are people trying to say?
