Connection Problems


Occasionally PS just cuts out and i get a message saying Connection Problems: Your computer has stopped receiving packets from our server. We are trying to recover, but you may lose your connection.

then it just kicks off my internet and explodes PS...

Are you using a router? What internet connection do you have? What's your ISP?

Explorer is not an ISP, Internet Explorer is a web browser. The company you pay in order to access the internet is your Internet Service Provider (i.e. AOL, your cable company, your telephone company, etc).

Lots of people get disconnected once in a while. That's just something that comes along with playing games on the internet. Everybody experiences that problem sometimes. The internet is not capable of providing super reliable connections. There are simply too many places along the path from your computer to the PS server where something can go wrong.

You are from Europe right? Because if you're playing on Werner and you're not in Europe then that could be part of your problem.

Hmm well some service providers have notoriously bad connections. I get kicked off my AOL Broadband connection usually once a day or so... dumbass AOL, why can't they just provide me an always-on connection like everyone else...?

Sometimes connections are a bit shoddy do to the route you have to do to though to the server.

Alot of Europe ISP's acctualy get better connections to East cost servers.

Call up your ISP and tell them about your problem they may be able to help

If you have AOL browdband, you need to set your computer to "not shutdown the modem if not in use" I get it all the time. Contack AOL and ask where to do this (win 2000 and XP have a diffrent way of doing this to -me)
