On saturday my connection on my hgv2700 showed green and all appeared well , but i couldnt search anything and i kept getting white screen saying page couldnt be found. I powered the router off for 20 mins and rebooted. Green lights showing , but same non searching as before. In the log it said EXCESS...SESS. Then I got a screen from BT saying excessive sessions error. I hit the continue button and it said problem corrected and i was able to search once more. Only thing is that normal 6800k+ is now waddling along circa 2800k >:(
anybody got any insight into this ? router stats are 8128 / 448 as normal , but download speed is dire.

The most common cause is Bittorrent or other P2P app that opens multiple connections. Do you use any?
It could be a virus, but unlikely. The alert can be switched off on the advanced firewall page. It's nothing to worry about if you're sure you don't have a virus or malware.
i did a deep virus search and the pc came up clean, maybe i should run spybot just to be sure.

Do you use any peer to peer apps?

That's not normal. I suspect BT are at it again; someone was experiencing slow speeds yesterday, whilst others on the same gateway were fine.
The excessive sessions won't be related. That's a mystery if you're not using apps that have numerous connections. Could anyone be using your connection? Is the wireless secure?
i have 2 young children so id never go wireless, the router is a wired connection. funny you mention bt, i saw bt vans in the area during the weekend , wonder if it could be WBC related, my exchange is due to go live in aug 08 hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
James
That could well be it. As far as the excessive sessions goes, I'm not entirely sure. :(
