Hello

My husband and I play on wireless home network,(me on Vista laptop , he on XP PC) We are GMT. In mornings and early pm the logon is quick and we can usually play ok, but as the day gets later we can rarely logon, and if we manage then the connection slows to a halt and we have to leave as we must drive oher players up the wall! (ncludn ourselves)

We have 8MB broadband, and it is working okay. This has been going on for a long time now(months)...I have tried to change all the settings suggested in other forum threads (ports, etc) but nothing helps.

We even go banned once because we kept leaving a game in the middle of a hand, which we never o on purpose!

Please help as we are really keen to play bridge on this site.
Thanks

Hi,

one possible solution is to delete some temp.
files, which the BBO client trys to load at the
beginning.

If I recall it correctly, profile information gets
stored on your computer and gets loaded during
the login phase.

I was not able to find the old post via the search
function, but maybe the above sentences ring
some bells and maybe someone is able to retrieve
the post.
... but maybe the logon behaviour has changed over
time.

With kind regards
Marlowe

thanks for your reply. I have deleted all our temp files, but makes no difference. I have also deleted and then reinstalled Bridgebase, and still not geting logged on. I could get on this morning (GMT) but not after 3pm. I can get as far as loading player lit up to 1400 players, (that takes 13 minutes!) then it sticks...lost connection etc.

This is driving us crazy. We have alsotred bbotv...with slightly more success, but still not ideal because the format is different.
