Pitposs did not die, it is your connection die, unstable.
Please, finally, do as all the favor and just download and run program I was talking about.

All this problems will dissapear.
It does not matter if you do not undestand why it's help, just DO IT!

I have noticed that the IP behind the DNS changes like mad. One minute it points to some IP, the next minute it points to some other IP and soon after that to third IP. Is this normal?

 

[Mutineer]

That obzervation confirm my suspicious.

What happening:

Your computer connected to your ISP. You ISP assigned it IP adress.
Now, ISP monitor connection and if there no trafic he will drop you IP adress from his roputer. YOu ARE STILL CONNECTED TO YOUR ISP and never notice the difference. When you computer want to access net again ISP router simple assign it new IP adress and from your side it looks like connection allways was there.
But all of us have to wait why your new IP adress propogate try Net, and when it finally does you migth change your IP address again.
So, from our point of view your computer simple drop connection.

Simple program that rundomly access some web site every few minutes prevent your ISP from droping your current IP adress, keeping it constant and removing all this problems.

From your computer you will never notice the difference, exept if you write a little program that save your current IP adress every hour.

I have one BIG request ...

My graphic card is dead ( almost dead ) - and I receive my computer with a new one just next Mondey evening. Could the game administrator to turn my civ into AI control until then ? I have pre-queued something, but I don't feel this is enough ...

Regards and thanks in advance !

The IP changes because I am using NOIP.

DO NOT POINT AT THE IP NUMBER BUT DO POINT AT THE SERVER NAME WHICH NOIP KEEPS TRACK OF

What is this simple 'maintain connnection' program that everu mentions but never gives a name or source. I downloaded a program but it had a built in virus. Please give ma name and source.

Power Cut during the night caused Router to go off line! Unfortueately my hightech singing and dancing router does not auto start on power up and needs a human finger to poke it into life - which was not avaiale in the early hours of the morning.

Ignore the Civstats reports of Eliminations. These player are NOT eliminated - well at least Pitboss doesnt seem to think so, and this must be an error with Civstats.

Please someone suggest the 'maintain connection' program

NOIP (recommended by FOSSE I think) works well and should detect this chanhe of IP normally within a few seconds of change. NOIP has connection to the NOIP server at notifies the NOPIP server of the change of IP- however despite this connection- which accordong to the NOIP log is consistent- our incomming connection problems persist.

Mutineer. What and where is thisconnection program? You never say!

 

[namliaM]

I just connected without any problems

 

[lplayer]

I found a maintain Connection option within NOIP. Lets hope it works

 

[agemo]

Taok did not respond to my email nor pm. If the position is still available, Iplayer can you pls pm/email me the ip/dns and boot the civ to AI so that I can take over?

 

[Taok]

I did not see your email. It would be best for admin to set me to AI then you can log in a take it.

Taok

 

[lplayer]

Sorry, but I am away from home until Thursday (unexpected) and cant reset Taok to AI. Only Taok knows his player password.

Fortuneately the server id behaving since I set the NOIP option to maintain connection.
