Keep Getting Disconnected from server!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[onepercent]

Can somebody please help me??????

i play on a RPPVP server. i keep getting disconnected.

This is incredibly frustrating because you find yourself coming back dead or no longer in a party, or even kicked out of a dungeon/instant.

i am on 1500k broadband, i have 1 meg ram, and i don't understand why this keeps happening.

Please help i'm not making progress!!!!!

Read this and shape your posts accordingly in future.

Anymore of this "!!!!!!" "?????" business and it's a temp ban. One is enough, multiple is just rude.

Considering you only have one meg of ram, while the game clearly needs an absolute minimum of two hundred and fifty six times that amount, there's no suprise the game isn't running properly.

Please post proper system specifications. And be less over the top with all the exclaimation and question marks. It is quite, quite rude.

My utmost apologies for my inappropriate use of punctuation. i am usually quite disciplined about these things, seriously. It will never happen again.

A slight correction, on a pentium iv, we have 1gb ram, not 1meg. :wave:

many sorries,

Now try reading posts:
Please post proper system specifications.Thread contents:

* Include as much information as you can
* Detailed Error messages
* Post full system specs
* Use correct grammar, so there are no misunderstandings.

If you are seeking help in regard to a problem, be informative and discriptive in your first post. If you have an error message, tell us that you had one and word by word what that error message said. We need detailed error messages if we are going to properly understand the root of your problem and go on to solve it correctly.

Also, we are unfamilar with your computer. We don't know what hardware you have and use, and it matters quite a bit. As a rule of thumb, users should post their full system specs, especially when they are seeking upgrade advice, but rarely in fact do we not need them. It can only help to give us detailed information on your hardware, and it saves us all time if we don't have to ask for it if it's just in the initial post.

Ok. I've gone hunting, and found the system specifications here: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1779127,00.asp

The hardware seems ok for a playable basis, pretty weak graphics card which'll give constant lag in raid and city locations, but that can't be the source of your problem concerning disconnections.

How long have these disconnections been plaguing you? And what's your home network set up like? Do you have the phoneline running into your computer directly, or does it run into any fancy flashing boxes anywhere?

And what do you mean exactly by "disconnect"? Do you just get dropped back the login screen or does the whole client freeze/crash or what? Any error messages?

Might sound obvous but do you connect to your router wirelessly?

I was having similar probs and I took a look at my connection there were dips every now and then (maybe the bloke next door was turning on his microwave, who knows). I'm 2 floors up from the router (no wonder then, I hear you say).

Anyway, went and bought a better wireless adapter and all's fine now.

I recently had the same issue.

Try the following:
- shut down game
- Delete the "Cache" folder in your wow-folder
- try again

Other possibilities are that you're running an addon that shows links to items that haven't been seen on the server since the server last rebooted.

or one that is sending too many messages at once over the ingame channels (this might be invisible communication).

Also, (correct me if I'm wrong here) IIRC - wow uses part of the IE protocol or did . . . and some people had to upgrade their current version of IE to fix this same type of problem once before. Not sure if it still uses any of that protocool for the warden program or not. But it might worth checking for an IE update.


P.S. - I was also getting booted roughly 1-5 times (peek) a night which was very frustrating to say the least so I know where you're coming from. A quick call to my Service Provider got me a new cable internet box which, so far (crosses fingers & knocks on wood), has been running smoothly since they hooked it up.

I've been having a problem like this as well. But my whole connection goes down not just WoW. I think it is something to do with my router, I tried setting it up so it has a constant IP address but I still get kicked every now and then.

No amount of tinkering with the router will switch you to an external static IP. The ISPs typically charge more money, verses the standard dynamic IPs most people use. Not that it matters, static or dynamic IP, it won't impact stability one bit.
