[Tinymux] Seeking Networking Advice

[Mark Withers]

Seems pretty normal to me, Amy. If you're not on a connection specifically for hosting web servers, then you may face this problem. I face it connecting TO most games, so much so that I have to put a timer on games that don't have KEEPALIVE flags. Seems like the connection to the server is seen as "idle" if I don't receive (or in the worst case send) some data every 5-10 minutes and is summarily dropped.

I would suggest ditching the DI-604 for a LinkSys router. The D-Link has airflow problems, and if you're using it in a hot and/or humid climate, it just cannot handle 24-hour operation. (Here in Florida, it can't handle 8-hour operation, and after 96 hours the case on mine melted into the circuitboard. Not good.)

Best of luck.
