Maybe it's because I live Due-North of You "Z" and less than 500 miles but, I have never had a time out happen to me. I check IW 10 times A day every day sometimes I never turn it off. Infact I use it as my home page. My PC is on line 24-7 weather I'm home or not. In fact I'm used by Gamespot as a relay server so people can get faster download times.
I use windows XP Pro if that makes a difference.
Now most of the time I just read all the posts on all the forums and I've been watching this one since just after christmas and I notice one thing that everyone has in common.
This time out problem happens mostly after posting or trying to post or while trying multiple posts. Since I read 20 times more than I post this may be the reason I don't get timed out or haven't been yet.
Just wanted to add my 2 cents maybe it helps and then again maybe not.
Also I'm on cable Broad Band and don't have anything to do with satelite. A number of my close friends have Satelite and have the same problems that everyone here has been stateing with time outs from time to time and some daily.
I Know how to fix the problem!! everyone move to within 500 miles of "Z" and all the problems will be fixed.
