Hmm it is now freezing again. I've had no problems since the engineer came out until now. What could be the problem?

Re: Stb keeps freezing,can a P2P do this
 

i'm getting similar problems to this thread.. I use Bittorrent and edonkey.. i've noticed that when I upload my STB freezes. I have a 4000 box on the Bromley platform.. It locks up all the time when i use my connection and I now think it is to do with uploads rather than downloads.. I have one machine i use to upload data and when i use that the STB freezes or the connection drops and i have to reboot it.. Also when I have heavy uploads or downloads going the STB can take ages to change channel..

Am thinking about getting a SACM installed instead not sure if this will help or not or getting the STB replaced. If i get a SACM at the moment i have a router above the STB which then feeds 2 30 metre ethernet cables to my office i have use the other ports on the router to use my laptop in front of the TV. Can i get a SACM installed next to my router and then still feed that up to the office or does it have to go in same room as PC

hi
not sure if this will help. but do you run zonealarm on pc and if so have you updated it recently.
just asking because i've had a similar problem with P2P programs over the weekend. for some reason the new zonealarm when using P2P programs locks up the Cable connection and every thing that users the cable no longer works.
the way to stop this was to uninstall zonealarm(which did not go as planned).
had to do a system restore to a early day. and reinstall zone alarm ver 4.5 over what was left..

no i don't use zonealarm just got norton anti virus installed..

i'm sure it's uploads that are causing the problems i don't think the boxes are design for the usage they are now getting really..

Will see if i can get a SACM installed during the summer instead of going through the STB i'm sure that will solve half my problems

interesting this. seems to be when i use bittorrent to upload rather than other programs still the max i get is usually 11 kps upload anyway
