Washell Olivaw	Posted - 2008.11.28 07:44:00 - [1] This is almost certainly caused by your router. Routers use NAT (Natural Address Translation) to redirect a package from your LAN to the internet and back. In order to keep track of which computer wanted what package your router uses its internal memory. To keep this memory from running out, your router drops inactive connections after a pre-set amount of time. Either join a busy chat channel or figure out how to change the time-out in your router. CCP soft and hardware isn't the problem here. Originally by: Signature Everybody has a photographic memory, some people just don't have film.

Washell Olivaw	Posted - 2008.11.29 00:19:00 - [3] Originally by: Pottsey There are pages and pages of people with this problem or problems along the same lines. That's because your average user can't tell the difference between a $30 router and a $90 router. I can't blame them either because the descriptions usually are the same (4-port 10/100, 802.11a/b/g/n). Why spend $90 if you get the same for $30 right? Turns out you don't get the same. You get something where they cut a lot of corners. Originally by: Pottsey As I said before it's very random and much better since the 2nd to last patch. Everything points towards it being a bug of some sort. Not had the problem since the newest patch but not had enough testing time yet. Easiest explanation: since the latest patch concurrent users have gone back up to 40k. More people logged in quite likely means more people in your corp/alliance/local chat. This means your connection is being kept alive thanks to busier channels. Close the channels, and your connection issues will be back in full. And you either have your ISP or your own router to thank for it. Originally by: Signature Everybody has a photographic memory, some people just don't have film.
Washell Olivaw	Posted - 2008.11.29 11:26:00 - [4] Originally by: Pottsey How can it be our ISP or router when its ccp-ic-124901-ldn-thon-s2.c.telia.net where the connation times out? Because past that router they've told the equipment to ignore ICMP requests. Anyway, you can lead a horse to water... Enjoy your disconnects, I'll keep enjoying my uninterrupted service.

A number of players are all getting time outs at ccp-ic-124901-ldn-thon-s2.c.telia.net (213.248.90.90). I bet some problems are home routers but the evidence points towards there being a problem on CCPs end. Or was a problem at CCPs end, not sure there still is. Another day with many hours logged idling and still in game. Last patch seems to have worked for me. 30+ months, also going past ccp-ic-124901-ldn-thon-s2.c.telia.net, 6 disconnects. Namely 2 server crashes and 4 ISP issues, 2 of which self-inflicted by not paying the bill . What makes more sense? a. I'm that lucky. b. The problem isn't at CCP's end. Having read this thread and the other thread in issues & workarounds I've seen people post the following solutions that fixed their problem: 1. Got a new router (not neccesarily due to EVE related issues) 2. Configure TCP/UDP timeout on router 3. Update firmware on router 4. Plugging internet directly into the pc 5. Plugging directly into router instead of using wireless 6. Using neighbours wireless to connect to EVE (not a longterm option ofcourse) 7. (Re)allowing EVE on their firewall 8. Disabling their firewall 9. Using a different pc in the house 10. Switched ISP's 11. Switch from on-board NIC to PCI NIC 12. Vacuuming out the dust in their router Originally by: Signature Everybody has a photographic memory, some people just don't have film.
