At school we have 2, 8mb lines.
But whenever i sign into wlm it sorta times out so it signs me off.
But i also get other errors link "Display name could not be changed" etc...
Is there anyway for wlm to stop timing out so soon, because i think its schools internet timing people out to save bandwidth etc..

Cheers for this,
Nathan

I don't think there's a way, it's control externally.
Unless you hack which is not at all recommended.

No amount of hacking will allow you to change the timeout. The WLM servers 'challenge' the client every 45 seconds, and if there's no reply within 5 seconds, you get booted.

16MB is pretty slow for a school. You see it is designed so that many people can access one connection. If say just 10 people are using the Internet you would only have a 1.6MB connection. If it's in school hours or around this time that could be nearly a 100 people odd using the Internet. However I doubt that there is someone being a bandwidth hog, and your connection won't be that dramatically cut . You will probably find those on Messenger at the same time as you are slowing it down. I generally think your school's Internet is slow

schools block wlm so thats why its blocking you.

Not his school.


And i agree with absorbation, 16MB is pretty slow for a school, my old school had about 5 8mb lines going in to the school or something

Meh,
I got my facts wrong it's 4 x 8mb lines

Anyhow it's dead annoying especially when contacts need to contact me .

Thats not exactly, true. If there are 10 people on the line at the same time, it is very unlikely that they will be sending out a request or receiving something at the EXACT same time.

Most home broadband connections share the same line with around 50 other people, yet you rarely get any slowdown as a result.

i cant believe ur school actually lets you go on WLM at my school you cant even download it

Well back at my school we could download anything we wanted but if we downloaded anything bad we had to pay the price and that was usually a week's detention.
