[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

Topic: Lifetank XI disconnecting internet?

	I've been trying to macro with lifetank XI and If I am assisting it, AC will run smoothly for an indefinite amount of time. However, if I leave it be, and return 30 minutes later the dreaded "Connection to server was lost" message slaps me in the face. I've witnessed the disconnect and it seems that I'll be macroing fine, and then all of a sudden, my connection will hang at yellow and eventually red, crashing the client. Let me reiterate that this DOES NOT happen while I am on my computer checking emails, writing essays etc. Does anyone have any idea of what might be happening? I originally assumed it was a memory leak, but I've dropped all my graphics details down to minimum and am running AC in windowed mode. Also, it was suggested that my laptop was going into power saving mode after 20 minutes or so, but I've altered all my options to prevent the laptop from going to sleep, shutting off the display or shutting off the hard disk etc. Thanks for any help! -----signature-----

	This is likely a problem with your setup (perhaps firewall?), not with lifetank. I had the same issue, and it was always traced back to the firewall configuration. -----signature----- We are like dwarfs sitting on the shoulders of giants.

	Any idea of what can be done? All my ports for AC are open and Im not running an antivirus firewall. shrug -----signature-----

	if you're using DSL and a separate router, make sure that your modem is set up in "bridge" mode -----signature----- (none)
