Connection woes

[Paddy]

I've started to experince frequent drop outs connecting to the MURC UT2004 server I not had any problems in the past...

Can any of you guys suggest any tools that might help me find out the cause of the problem??

ping a random IP, so your connection is kept alive~

Current Service Status
Major Services outage
29/03/04

A fire in Manchester is affecting telephony services - including ADSL. BT have given an anticipated clear time of AM on 30/03/04.

For details please visit: BBC News.

Update: 11.48

ADSL customers outside of the Manchester area as well as in Manchester may be experiencing difficulties as a result of their connection routing through the Manchester RAS.

In these cases telephony services may be working normally, and the ADSL router/modem may have synchronisation, but is still unable to connect.

Update: 30/03/04 - 12.16

BT have provided a revised estimated repair time of Friday, April 2.

Update: 02/04/04 - 13.35

BT have now revised their resolution time to Monday, April 5.

I guess this could explain it...

whats BT? British Telecom?

[GNEP]

yup

It's odd.. I tried playing on a different server last night - no problems there.

Perhaps it is the routing to MURC...
