Need program to help, internet idling during games
Posted: August 17, 2007, 7:48 pm
I've been looking everywhere but I cant find a program that works for me. When I play many games (Age of Mythology, Gunbound, Gunz) online my internet connection goes idle and I get disconnected. Its because of the retarded setup at my new condo but until the cable company comes out to fix it I'm screwed. They have some shitty router setup to control the internet and its not "made to play online games" from what they said and if I swap it out for my own router the internet doesnt work at all.
Anyway, the question I have is, does anyone know where I can find a working program that will keep my broadband connection alive? I've found some for dialup and some that say they work for broadband but none so far have worked for me and one was a virus. I've found a workaround but its only a temporary solution. I can play Warcraft 3 games so if I start a Warcraft 3 multiplayer game as long as I am in the game then my connection stays stable so I can alt tab out to play something else. That causes its own problems though as Age of Mythology wont run well like that and I never know when I will be disconnected from the WC3 game and then disconnected from whatever else I am playing as well.
