Staying Online

[trugmolly]

I will let you know how I get on. My d/l manager has always redialled for me when the connnection was lost.. I do have getright but not istalled.. just trying out another for the fun of it lol Net ants.. Anyway did change the propeties to "re dial if connection is broken" and with no d/l manager running has been online for four hours... E mule and Kazaa running together.. But I have been out so not sure when or if there has been a re diall... Both still running anyway..
After effects 6 pro.... "2days 17 hrs" .. Then its prob bolloxed lol..
My motto is if you get 1 meg connection keep paying the isp lol...... I want it back lol

freeserve do disconnect u after 2 hrs! der my isp! i no!

I know too.... On the dot..... my Daughter came in and reconnected.... I watched the status this time...... If you got a d/l manager running it will redial automaticaly for you if you are not present... Not much good with Kazaa cuz Kazaa will just hold on 'connecting' E mule just connects itself again and carries on......But a d/l manager is not much help in d/ls that are not 'freely available'
BTW what is "DER" ? and if it is your Isp... then do something about the two hour cut off time mr Freeserve.
Cheers

theres nothing that i kno that can keep it alive, every 2 hours freeserve drops your conenction so u have to redial.

the only way i kno that helps is having auto redial on so it redials when it drops

Norton System works 2003 is a kickass prog for fixing windows problems..

also includes a powerfull dial-up connection sheild to hold it online. Get the prog not just for that tool, but for all the other great features as well..

Freeserve drop the line after exactly two hours. It's not caused by line inactivity and there's no way around it.

exactly...i tried a few programs, none worked
the only way is to get windows to redial after the connection is lost

Exactly every two hours..
... I went to bed at about twelve last night.. and this worked .. d/ls were still coming in when I got up and when I came home from taking my daughter to school.
That never happened when I used the freeserve rediall check box in any configuration....
I will for sure have a look at norton system Works, But I put Net Ants d/l manager on.. then I put E mule on with my d/ls.... E Mule because Kazaa just would not reconnect again even if the line was active, and it only works if you have the d/l manager running alongside E mule..For Me anyway (xp Pro ) E mule by itself tries to reconnect.. there is a log and you can see the attempts and failed attemps....
But in combo with Net Ants the connection is cut every two hours... but you can see the redial attempts In the E Mule log usually three tries.. and then E mule resumes your d/l s. on and on infinitum lol...
If you got freeseve and have had similar probs its well worth a try.... Prob getright or others would give the same results.

I use to have the same problem with Freeserve until I downloaded a little program called CLICKOFF which was recommended by a helpful guy on K-L,DB. It worked a treat and also stops annoying pop-ups too. .
