The Hushed Casket was founded in 2002 shortly after the launch of the XBOX console. Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.

Rebooting Modem

Submitted by XT (not verified) on Mon, 06/04/2007 - 2:35pm.

"Games for Windows – Live reboots my modem. My modem (a Linksys WCG200 recommend by Comcast) reboots periodically when trying to connect or after connecting to GFW – Live. It took me two hours to download my XBOX Live profile to my computer. Why? Because my modem would reset over and over. This bug was reported during the GFW – Live beta. It happens in Bug Bash and HALO 2 (PC), both using GFW – Live. So, it only happens when GFW – Live is being used."

I have the same problem when using BitTorrent or anything that causes you to start streaming "up" a decent amount.

Not that that's the problem for sure, but it may be. I find that my connection drops and i have to release/renew the IP on my modem. From the research i've done, it seems that many ISPs have a cap on your upstream communication, and if you exceed it (or continually reach a certain limit) your connection gets bumped.

I was fine for a while using BitTorrent, but after a few weeks i started getting bumped all the time. I've dropped my upload speed and haven't had that issue since.

Maybe GFW-L is streaming too much data up and your ISP thinks you're "acting as a server" and bumping you.

Just a thought anyways :-)
