In the Local Area Connection I just type one of the IP's its pretty tedious then I reconnect via Remote Desktop I wish there was an easier way.
So I removed the router last night and directly connected the PC to the cable modem.
Surprisingly it still disconnects after 2 hours of running Xrumer, so I am narrowing down the problem to Windows 7 32-bit.
Are there any known issues with Windows 7 on Xrumer? I have already disabled IPV6, Firewall, increased cached size.
Since this is very unique issue, I am unable to find anything on the net.

Why dont you jsut run it in a Virtual Computer using VMWare or Virtual PC (Free)
nothing shown in the windows event log.
crazy thing, I can never get the internet connect back online without a reboot. Tried ipconfig /released, disable LAN, enable wireless. nothing works,
as soon as I reboot, connection is again back.
I could try that, and maybe install vista or xp. alot of work, but worth it.

How many threads do you guys run on Xrumer?

I know it's a bit like nobbling your own horse at the Derby, but I run Xrumer from home, through about 30 private proxies, on no more than 4 threads, and between 6 to 8 hours at night only.
Bandwidth outbound in that time is between 12.5 and 15 gigs.
Spending an hour before hand setting it up to run intelligently (as far as config goes - essp if you are posting comments not just blasting sign ups) has a massive effect.
Left "as is" I get about 5% sticky rate. With an hours configuring I can get close to 25% (still low I know, but with perhaps 2000 per night going out, that's maybe 500 stuck links per day - thank you very much and pass the ketchup)
I have 12Mb down 2Mp up and often don't run Xrumer at all because it can mass link sites faster than I can make sites to put them on (I don't want to risk being sandboxed either...).
Only using it for a fortnight while my brother is on his hols.
If I get it myself, I may well consider a decent ($150+ a month) host to put it on.
Favourite is a Russian server host that charges around $250 and allows about 2 terrabits of traffic per month
Question you need to ask is...
Do i have the number of sites/link wheels or whatever to justify perhaps 100,000 well stuck links per month?
Seriously, just blasting 100,000 links at 10 or 20 sites for several months in a row might well get them 'boxed.
Host from home if you are small, (running Xrumer at night - through proxies) and scale up like a "big boy" as you succeed in IM.

Good to know. I had signed up for their lower packs, but I upgraded to the extreme 50 pak. I double checked and a nice customer service rep spent a good deal of time researching it and he said at this time there is no limit for the 50 and 100 packages, just for the lower ones. Course after I tear their network apart they could always change their mind but.. lol
I run 40 - 80 thread.

How do the "Big Boys" run Xrumer then?
Is it possible to run Xrumer on multiple installs - but on the same machine?
Eg: a few Virtual Machine setup?

Thinking of getting 1GB internet to my home.
While the 1GB would be for national data (I'm in an asian country) I'm supposed to be guaranteed 100mbps to international traffic. Would this and a VPN service like Hidemyass (where the dialer lets me change my IP address every couple of minutes) be sufficient for xRumer?
Currently paying 150 USD for a dedicated box, but am seriously thinking of moving this to a home setup and saving long term. It would cost me about 260 USD though. But I already pay quite a bit for my existing service anyway.

Good thought sgmoney 
It's all about scale.
What scale do you want?
How many sites are you promoting NOW.
Xrumer can promote a hell of a lot of sites if set up maximum on a dedicated 1 gig host and all the trimmings..
All you need to ask yourself is
How much do i need NOW...
When you have made more cash, THEN scale up.
Home set up with decent broadband and a handful of proxies will deinitely do for a couple of dozen sites.
If and when you have hundreds (and many of you do) and thousands of sites in link wheels, then scale up.
No point paying high monthly hosting costs to support a few dozen sites.
No point NOT paying hosting costs if you are thundering cash out of hundreds of sites.
If you are a "build a couple of sites a week" merchant, and use some other link building tools as well, then it's quite concievable that you'll NEVER need to scale up.
If you employ a team of VA's and outsource a ton of linkbuilding, then splashing out on a all "bells and whistles" set up will be a lot cheaper for you in the long run
100mps I find 6 threads max
1gigmps then 50+
A line capable of shifting 1/2 a meg a second will support 6 threads adequately if the rest of the network set up is decent.
A setup like this will easily support the average "couple of sites a week" IM guy here.
First port of call is a decent router once you go above 8 threads.
Proxies if you have a strict ISP (a dozen or so will do if they are high speed)
Also, Xrumer is suprisingly easy to set up from home. My brother did a custom set up in a couple of hours and knew next to nothing about it before he started.
