"Connection lost"

[racer69]

In the last few online races i've done, after about 20mins or so of a race, i get a note in the corner saying "connection lost" and i leave the game.

What would be causing this? I can join games again as soon as it gets back to the main screen, and i can still access the internet, so it seems as if the connection only drops out momentarily, enough obviously to remove me from the races though.

My internet connection is wireless ADSL2.

Any hints or tips apprecitaed :)

Are you able to run a LAN cable to see if the 20min drop still occurs?

Have found wireless to be fine for surfing the web but haven't trusted it with gaming. (fixed puters 4 10yrs in a past life)

When I first got adsl2 I was having drop out problems too, so as I was a fair distance from the exchange the internode help desk suggested I shape my connection profile to run adsl1 speeds. Havent had a problem since, so you could try that. Also I dont trust wireless, so I'd agree with maxlev and try to run a cable

Use a network cable mate, and look into GW's idea too.
