Ping Timeout #9394 02/02/03 05:16 PM
M MacK
MacK M	I constatnly disconnect from IRC due to ping timeout, however, I don't lose connection to the internet. I don't notice it until I go into IRC and type something, and I disconnect. When I ask what the quit message was they say "Ping Timeout". Could anyone please help me understand why and maybe tell me how to fix this? Any help is appreciated. I do have a router, and I am on cable. The router is Linksys :\|. It just started happening recently. Last edited by MacK; 02/02/03 05:18 PM.
