when mine went live i kept losing connection to xfire for a couple of days. give it time to settle down and it should work fine.

Sky can switch your connection to a gaming profile if your having connection issues, it makes the line more stable and increases your ping but your speed will drop as a drawback to it

yeah well its still doing it i hope it improves for 2moz or i won't be able to race :(

i got this problem the other day but on a different network. all i did was turn the router off for 30 secs then plug in and it worked fine. althought how are you posting on here if its internet problems :O

it's not net problems it's just certain things in this case xfire and trackmania just tried steam not working either i don't really want to turn my box off i know it prolly sounds silly but sky said not to for 10 days why the connection stabilized

They're talking bullshit, what if there's a power outage? It doesn't matter if the box is turned off or not, they say the same when saying you need to have your phone line plugged into your sky box, no you don't, it's just to encourage you to spend money on sky active and box office, just turn it off lol

well it turns out turning it off for 30 seconds and on again didn't work any other ideas?

Log into the router by going to 192.168.0.1 and enter "admin" as the username and "sky" as the password, once there, Click on security and then firewall rules, make sure that's set to allow always on outbound and block always on incoming, Now click on advanced and then uPnP, if there's no ports open on that then try to add Xfire and trackmania ports to that list (I don't know them off the top of my head but I'll put connection issues down to that), hope this helps

i tried both of those i'd rather not call them tbh... trackmania's giving me the error 12029

it seems the website xfire doesn't work either

[(FG) SammyCR]

theres the problem...packet loss

If you in the 8-10 days bracket still of 1st getting your connection then your
internet will fluctuate in speed and quality as for this period the line is being
tested to see exactly what speed you will get, ISP should of advised you of this
when you were being setup.

found that on a forum guess i just gotta sit it out...

jules you might get the same issues if your still in the 10 days

[(FG) juliankr]

nah, mine is back to how it was before i moved

[(FG) SammyCR]

right well i guess all i can do is wait for the line to be stable again
