That's exactly how it is arranged. No internet connection sharing involved. Right now we have a two-for-one deal on ISP's. For the cost of one subscription we get to have both AOL and CompuServe (Both work the same way. AOL just has alot more bells and whistles). We here sign onto the internet with CompuServe while everybody else uses AOL. One problem that we encountered is that more than one AOL account on the same bill can't run at the same time. In order to avoid conflicts, accounts are spread between CompuServe and AOL. Would this sort of conflict occur with other ISP's? (e.g. If we moved to another ISP and my grandmother tried to logon to the internet while I was online under the same subscription, would she be prevented from connecting like she would be under AOL?)

Most ISPs will only allow connection from one location at a a time per user as far as I know... (otherwise everyone in town could use my cable account and my ISP would make no money...)

Maybe if you switch to AOL and share the Compuserve account among your family members? Fluf seems to do alright on AOL...

Why not test from one of your family members PC connected to AOL? if you still have trouble there then you might just be too remote to get good error rates and latency times... I can't stress checking your wiring quality enough....

There may just be a chance that we can change dialup ISP's after all

Does anybody have any suggestions for a dialup ISP? An overhaul of our phone lines may also be in order.

Dont know if this might help. from the Readme

Windows XP or Win2K plus MSN Messenger: Open your programs folder, open
Administraive Tools, open Services. Look for the service Universal Plug and Play,
and double click on it. Then select "Disable".

also, ensure that ICS (internet connection sharing) is disabled as well.

Might also wander over to:

www.blackviper.com
and follow his "xp supertweak" advice, It might help.

That 41kbps reading was a fluke

Since then I haven't been able to get my throughput above 39kbps

More often it's around 35 kbps

Plus CompuServe has a really bad habit of kickin' me off the internet for no apparent reason more often than what is acceptable

And CompuServe's tech support is a bunch o' crock

Their call center is over in India so I hardly understand a thing that they say and their technical advice counts for nill

I'd really like some opinions on some alternate dialup ISP's.

www.surfbest.net .. best one I have ever used.. and only $12.50 a month.. 1/2 cost of AO Hell or Comp U Suck....

I've never been bumped from their service.. and I can remain connected for days (as long as I make sure i click the alwasy remain connected after i connect the first time after install... you only need to do this once) doing Dl's without being interrupted or dropped or bumped..

Every co-op mission that I've played lately on the D2 and D3 has ended up with me getting a "Play Left" message and my ally disappearing.

and see if that helps.

My situation is somewhat different, but I'll try it anyways.

Doesn't help

Does this happen on GSA when you are using TS?

DH123 · « **Reply #34 on:** February 10, 2004, 09:55:40 pm »

Pleas post your system and connection specs.

TOCXOBearslayer · « **Reply #36 on:** February 12, 2004, 04:53:14 am »

Are you positive that your Internal Firewall has been disabled for XP?

The windows firewall WILL let you connect to GSA games, but not D2 games.

SSCF_LeRoy · « **Reply #37 on:** February 12, 2004, 12:21:20 pm »

Yes, I'm sure that the included XP firewall isn't on. My CompuServe dialup connection under "Network Connections" doesnt' have firewall option. In fact it doesn't have any options at all.

Are you the drafter or the draftee?
