Since my telephone line was "upgraded" to 21CN (!), the frequency of dropped DSL connections has increased and I suspect the router I use is the source. I currently have a Netgear DG834G. My ISP is supplying Netgear's N-150 to new customers but I read varying reviews of its performance too. I'm considering buying a new one and would welcome any feedback about the DSL router you use. I like LinkSys kit (Cisco) but, again, people's experiences with their routers seem to vary greatly. Alternatively, if anyone has had similar problems with the DG834G and solved them (I'm wondering if the damned thing times out for some reason), please post. Thanks.

wildbill72 yeah seen it earlier...you hack lol As the stats betray, were that the case my "hacks" would be about as good as my ability to play the game! Have to see what happens when I get the next medal, I guess...

SkunK|NL Good shooter make a lot of kills No, on the evidence of this video, he's a f--kin' cheat who deserves to be banned. As this happened on an XI server (?), will the Admin team be getting in touch with DICE to have this guy's online account terminated?

Good fun! If you missed xCaliber's post in Announcements, see here: http://www.xtremeidiots.com/fora_topic.asp?tid=24399 I think WIMPY and comfort will be bulletproof now they have made a suit of armour from my dog tags...

I lasted into my fifties before I went four-eyed to read. It is true though that they are printing labels on food packages in smaller print these days!

Welcome back, Red'! Hope you are feeling OK and all is well. See you in game.

Sssh! Nobody tell Chile... Something really odd is happening with the data used to display the medals on the enjin.com sig! Had all these unfamiliar ones appear today and it seems I have been awarded up to 1200 of each!

GorillaXI WOW!!!! To many people to kill me. So many victims, so little time...

Morris - I am sooooo pissed Sorry all I have been unable to fully connect to XI since Boxing day, thougght it was my comp so upgraded the motherboard, cpu and memory. Still I couldnt connect, phone BT my ISP but they are no help at all, and insist there isnt a problem with my internet but cant explain why I can not connect........ all I get is connection interupted and then disconnected. Been able to connect a handful of times but more than likely I cant connect. Is there any comp experts out there who can teach a dog a new trick and help???? please please please pm me Is this the case for all servers? Beers has advised problems with one COD5 server. How does the PC behave when you try other servers outside XI?

Happy Birthday, Buddy! I bought you a copy of Black Ops as a present...jk! Have a good one!

Beers is fessing up... He broke it... Damned bazooka! LOL!

Is this the future? Never mind 64-slot battlefields... New world record established! http://www.muchdifferent.com/?page=game-world-record/

Nice! Will bring my C4 for the snipers...

It sort of reminds one of this movie, doesn't it...

Welcome, Maximus!

and, of course... (love to all Man U fans! )

Harry, the media's reputation over here is at an all-time(?) low due to the behaviour of some journalists - phone-hacking a murder victim's voicemail is just one example of "investigative journalism" in the UK! "Newspaper" is a word that embellishes the rubbish printed these days. There are still people willing to believe what is printed in them - can you believe that?! They are all owned by vested interests of various political persuasions so one is rarely going to read something not tainted by spin. The publishers complain that their circulations are falling... Oh really?? They don't say... The papers are useful for wrapping up food waste and lining kitty litter trays but little else. I rely on online sources for real news - Reuters and PA are good to see the raw stories before some "journalist" mutates them into fiction. Even so, I tend to verify anything before allowing it to raise my blood pressure too much. I was once telephoned by a major UK tabloid newspaper about a recent case one of my colleagues had dealt with. I refused to discuss it and referred him to our Press Officer at HQ. "If you won't talk to us, we'll make it up", said the hack. And, guess what...they did! Celeb "news"? I'm with you - who gives a sh*t?! If they do something worthwhile for humanity, I want to read about it, not if they break a nail or buy a new hat.

Venery Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player 'Venery_XI' (for 0 minutes) ... RESTRICTION: Service Communication Failure: PnkBstrB.exe driver failure (PnkBstrK.sys) ffab working on day 4 of this bullshit....any permanent solutions? XI 64-slot server was fine but the game crapped out twice on me when loading levels on German and UK servers with a similar Punkbuster B error.

Good one, pwr'! "Marriage" isn't a word but a sentence... As I said to a taxi driver, recently, "I have been married 25 years. If I'd murdered someone, I'd now be out on parole". I expect you've already heard that an entirely reliable contraceptive has been discovered? Wedding cake!

Thanks, that cheered me up. There IS someone out there worse at it than me!

I feel a song coming on... You need Hans to hold someone you care for You need Hans to show that you're sincere When you feel nobody wants to know you You need Hans to brush away the tears When you hold a brand new baby You need tender Hans to guide them on their way You need Hans to thank the Lord for living And for giving us this day Let's dance for the ladies and gentlemen.... (Instrumental Break) You need Hans to show the world you're happy And you need Hans when you have to stop the bus But the Hans we love so dear are the Hans we love to hear Are the Hans that you give to us Everybody, are the Hans that you give Everybody, that's nice, thank you, Thank you ladies and gentlemen, thank you

Having owned this movie on VHS for years, I've just bought the DVD. It'll come as no great surprise to learn it's a favourite classic British comedy, starring two deceased favourite funny men - Harry H Corbett and Ronnie Barker. It's historic too as the haulage business on the canals had just been killed off by extreme weather. Only a tiny fraction of traffic now is made up of working boats. Some accents for you to enjoy in this clip too!

kswift420 how do i get to that idiot here!!! When you are in game and before you deploy, on the screen where you can select which class to deploy as there is a tab with "CUSTOMISE" on it. Click that then LOADOUT and you can tinker with your guns and accessories.

Is it genuine???
