Hey DJM,

I get the same on BF2142 sometimes. I'm with BT, running a Home Hub and it happens on both XP and Vista (but I mainly use the latter).

Hey DJM,

Usually it's a Punkbuster-based problem, although the 1.25 patch for 2142 has caused headaches for many

Have you got PnkBstrA installed?  Also, on Vista, you need to allow Admin rights on the shortcut to stop connection drops because of Punkbuster

Of course, the Home Hub is a complete pain.  It's a self-correcting router and when it corrects any discrepancy on your connection, it can kill the connection completely

What is PnkBstrA  ?

Seconded, and do I need it?

[[RWP]DJM]

Absolutely, you will need it

It is a (and I hate these kind of things), permanently-running service that (apparently) Evenbalance need.  It is meant to prevent scripts etc. running on your machine and by-passing Punkbuster.

If you bring-up Task Manager, you will see the service running if it's installed

Also, PBSetup (http://ssl.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php) works wonders for updating Punkbuster before you go online.  This can be much more effective, as we all know PB can refuse updates if your connection is being 'awkward'.

PBSetup should also auto-install the PnkBstrA files
