Ok here is the situtaion and has me totally baffled. A network with two computers, one wireless, one wired. Two people on SL at the given time, one likes to use skype most of that time as well. This system has worked well for over 6 months (new router was installed then, and it worked fine for a long time previous to the new router as well). Now the problem. About 4 or 5 weeks ago we expereinced massive packet loss. Sometimes the SL statistics would say 125% packet loss (figure that one out). At first we thought it was becuase we were both in the same sim. But recently we found that is not the case as it still happens when we are in different sims. The really odd part is when the packet loss occurs it also knocks out the audio stream and or skype. Now why? they are seperate services and shouldn't be affected by packet loss on SL. Tonight a test was done when sudden massive packet loss occured (around 15-25%). One person had teleported to a different sim and the packet loss started right after landing (and was affecting audio streams AND Skype). As so left and went back to their home sim. The packet loss immediately stoped for both computers currently loged into SL. And keep in mind neither avatar was in the same sim. Two totatlly differnt sims the whole time. Whatever the problem is it starts with SL and when it happens affects everything else on our network. Not doing anything huge or unusual than before and no one is running torrents or anything like it that would suck up all the bandwidth. Just SL (on two computers), skype, and a audio stream or two. Again this has only started in the last month or so. Anyone else seeing this? It is crazy and driving me nuts trying to figure it out. When this packet loss happens it stops everything cold. Makes SL almost impossible to use, and it takes Skype with it (along with the audio streams)
