[Merged] ntl & P2P

[andeh]

Hi mark, thanks for the reply! I have a cable modem that I was using in Huddersfield.. a NTL Home 120.


We have 2 STBs here, 1 downstairs which has the broadband enabled, and one for seperate viewing upstairs? Can you setup the NTL Home 120 CM?

I'm away on holiday tomorrow for 2 weeks but any help would be appreciated!

Cheers,

Andy

Hi all,

Great forum ! v useful !

I have been using BB NTL 150K for ages. However I have just started using overnet/edonkey P2P and the connection keeps dropping and the only solution is to reset the STB (digi TV box).

I am connecting the STB directly to my PC via ethernet cable (not via a router). I have configured overnet for the 150k BB speed, however it keeps crashing. The digital TV however is still functioning properly.

Thanks in advance.

Phil

It could be that your STB doesn't like the number of connections being made when you use Overnet/EDonkey.

The upload setting in the P2P software shouldn't be set to your actual upload speed, as you'll saturate the upstream & cause connection problems.

Try capping the upload in Overnet/EDonkey. [Have a look at http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robin.d...mtips/p2p.html & particularly http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robin.d...p.html#edonkey for more]

Also worth reading this thread through from the start (as your post has been merged with it).

Zone Alarm 5.* causes alot of problems for p2p users - check the zone labs forum for the past few months and see what I mean (General Section)
