Your Internet connection to TEN is fast enough to play games... if only your modem was up to the task.
-Are you using a 2400 or 9600 baud modem? TEN supports only modems with a speed of 14.4k and up.
-Is your modem for some reason set to 2400 or 9600 baud? Same problem.
-Is your phone line unreliable? Is your cat chewing on it? Bad for kitty. Bad for you.
Possible solutions:
-Go to the Options screen and re-test your connection.
-Disconnect your modem entirely. Reconnect it, reboot, and try again. Sometimes modems "glitch out" for unknown (and perhaps unknowable) reasons.
-If the problem persists, copy down the Diagnostics info from the Options screen. Then call our support services at 1-800-8040-TEN. TENFONE and TENFAX are our automated support services (phone and faxback) that are available 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. Customer and Technical Support Representatives are available between 12Noon and 9PM, 7 days per week.
