mathq Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Hello! My internet connection keeps dropping after 10-15 minutes or when I open some programs, after a little while. I recently changed my driver to nForceLAN, because before, it did it every 1-2 minutes. Thanks for the help, xmath279 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/230592-dropping-connection/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the help, xmath279 Go to System Preferences >>> Network >>> Advanced >>> Ethernet >>> Configure:Manually and MTU:Custom.........enter 1000 in the box and see if that improves things........ If reducing the MTU value has no beneficial effect, then try changing the OptimizationMode, which can be changed in the Info.plist file of the nForceLAN.kext from 0 (which optimizes throughtput activity) to 1 (which optimizes CPU activity).........setting the OptimizationMode to 1 may help........

It doesn't change anything, anyways to put it to 1000. I am actually trying the OptimizationMode 1482 is the minimum. It doesn't change anything, anyways to put it to 1000. I am actually trying the OptimizationMode OptimizationMode removed the Ethernet interface from Network preferences in System Preferences. I'm gonna fix permission. I think this is the problem Okay i'm gonna try with your setting. Fixing permissions made the kext to load It's not working Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/230592-dropping-connection/#findComment-1540363 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathq Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 I found out that the connection usually drops when using Peer-to-peer. For example, when I'm using software such as uTorrent, WoW Updater (which is using P2P to increase the download speed), etc. Maybe it could explain something .
