if youve been following my thread, youll see ive had some issues with connection being dropped after ~20 minutes
after a few hours, a lot of equipment and a lot of swapping things over, i now knoe EXACTLY what was causing this, and can easily replicate it
my box has now been running solid for 5 hours connected to my own server, whereas before finding this, it was about 20 mins max
i also tested it by taking to a friends house, and sure enough after 20 mins, lost the connection. went back to my house, back to friends house to check, and 45 mins later, still running perfectly
please give credit when posting this on other forums, as this could be the answer to why so many servers have problems with spiderboxes
as soon as i removed a netgear 10 base T hub from my network, everything started working fine, even though its always been fine for any other receiver, plug the hub back in, and after 20 mins i lose connection
even though the spiderbox is on a different router, as this hub was on my internal network, it was ballsing it up for the spiderbox
so if youre having problems connecting to someone, and losing connection to them, ask them if they have a network hub (different to a switch) running
i changed my base 10 hub to a 10/100 Mbs switch for £6
