WoW dissconection help

joemorris86 · 31 Jan 2006 at 22:48

Hey guys, about 1 out of 3 times I play wow, I log in fine, but for some reason when I speak to a npc nothing happens, and when this happens it does not let me engage in a battle, chat, even log out. It doesn't freeze, I can run around and get menus up, it just doesn't log out. So I have to wait a few minutes for the game to disconnect me.

And even when I log in fine I still disconnect about once per hour. Does anyone else have this problem. Do I have to open up ports on my router maybe?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

do you onboard gigabit lan? i did and i was constantly disconnected. You sound like your gaving an identicle proble.

have you got a 10/100 card you can use? works perfect for me.

from tech support forum..

Network card related - Some network adapters may require a driver update or duplex change to stabilize connectivity. Some models include; Realtek RTL 8139/69 series, Intel Pro series, Broadcom 440 series, Marvell Yukon Series, Via Rhine series, and the nVidia nForce series. Please visit the link below for assistance in making these changes.

I had similar problems with my onboard gigabit lan also. Swapped to Intel 10/100 PCI and all was well

So will I just need to buy a new network card? I dont have to replace anything else do I?

i had this problem on my nforce4 board which uses gigabit lana nd someone psoted a link to the blizzard support page which i can't for the life of me now find.

but simply making 3 changes to my tcp/ip network properties fixed it.
