can a unit frame addon reset your ADSL modem?

sounds odd but it happened to me.
had same issue in EQ2 which prompted me to leave when they denied all knowledge but never thought i would encounter it in wow.

with the addon loaded i would discon every 5-10 minutes. on occasion i would disconn as the character was being loaded in.

removed the addon and all was well. trippy as f**k.

i wont name names but if anyone else is having this issue please post. i would pm you the one im having issues with to see if it is same for you.

If this AddOn happens to be trying to transmit a lot of information and you have a flaky modem then that could be the reason. A number of AddOns will silently try to send information over channesl to organize their visual appearance with other people who have that AddOn. The only Ace AddOns at the moment that handle unit frames are AUF and AcePerl, to the best of my knowledge neither of them does this.

Could you tell us which unit frames Addon you're using, even in PM? The best way to figure this out would be to take a look at the AddOn's code really and to see whether it's spamming a hell of a lot of data across channels anywhere.

Spooky!

N Force 2 board.
there didnt seem to be any pattern at all to my disconns. almost entirely random.

dunno. took me a few hours of setting up 3 diff bar mods to sort it all out eventuallytho. pita that was

im using the gigabit ethernet thingy and only checksum option in the config on there is to disable hardware checksumming.
that sound right?

yep.
