Although I can host online games, I can't join. Linksys E-1000 router

I recently upgraded from Vista 64bit to Win7 64bit. Since then I cannot join onliine games at hosting sites such as Game Ranger. I have all of the ports forwarded correctly. My issue is with how the other parts of the configuration are set up. I am an end-user, so DHCP and stuff like that are foreign to me. I don't know what to have enabled and disabled. I have reset the router from scratch, same result. I have no idea if I should have my IP discovered automatically, or if I should fill it in. I don't know which is causing the problem...my internet IP or my IP. I don't know if I need the subnet mask for one or the other or both. I don't know anyone who plays the same game I do that has a Linksys router who can walk me through their settings that work. I have tried calling Linksys telephone support and can't get anyone that I can understand. As I said, I'm an end-user only, and computer speak doesn't work with me. Plain English, step by step.
Can someone help? Thank you in advance for any ideas.

My firmware is 2.1.02, and I thank you for the response. I have done a lot of work back and forth with this issue since my original post, and discovered that my modem was bad. No idea how that affected my problem, but all is well now.

Problems playing and hosting online games via AEBS.

Okay, I'm officially stumped. I've been trying to setup my AE base station to play a Command & Conquer Zero: Hour multiplayer games via Game Ranger. I'm connecting via Ethernet using an AE Router address of 10.0.1.1 and a computer IP address of 10.0.1.210. I've tried the following:
1. Enabled default host at 10.0.1.210
2. Turned on port mapping using the following settings:
8186 - 10.0.1.210 - 8186
8188 - 10.0.1.210 - 8188
3. Turned off the firewall
4. Turned on the firewall and created a Command & Conquer setting using the port name "Other" and inserting 8186, 8188 in both TCP and UDP port numbers.
Nothing works. When I try to join a game I get a timeout error. When I try to host a game, I can see the other players but they can't connect or see me. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Kelly
p.s. I've tried the suggestions here, but the problem remains: http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx/.68999f2d/1

I have seen this in another discussions post, the number escapes me right now,
Make sure that all sound card drivers are up to date,
Make sure that you have DirectX 9.0C (Latest Version)
Type: dxdiag
Click "sound 1" or similarly named tab
Slide bar to "basic acceleration"
Exit
Try that, see if it resolves it for you.

Online Games Problems With WRT54G Router

Hi There ppl,
I have a Lan House with 50 comps working, and most of my costumers are looking for online games entertainment (Cabal Online, Ragnarok, Dota, CS, 9 Dragon etc). We have an 8 Gb DSL connection and another one of the same speed for back-up (not running simultaneously at the moment). We should be having outstanding results for online gamming (and we were before installing the new router) but we are having several problems since we install a new LinkSys WRT54G router here. Our physical configuration is the modem, followed by the router, than three DLink Switches(24 ports) and my main computer. Everything cable
What we noticed is that the Internet connection looks normal (even using the command "ping", nothing strange appears, no timed out at all!) but online games (specially the above mentioned) have an intermitent connection. (Some times they connect, some dont)... Looks like it happens usually when I have the house crowded, but already showed also with it empty.
Another issue is that I am using the LinkSys Advisor to help identifying this problem, but I am getting even more confused, because its giving new information each time I refresh the "my network" window. Also happens when showing "My Network Settings" on the Support Tab.
Im using Firmware 8.00.0, what I think is the newest.
I didnt try any forwarding port issue yet, as I would like to receive more information about it (never needed to configure anything related before). Concerning the MTU value I already tryed withou any significantly result.
Please If anyone had the same problem, or have any idea of other possible tests, i would appreciate a lot.
Thank you and have a great day all

Hi there Helm,
Tks for your attention and reply to my issue!! Yesterday right after posting here (when we closed the doors and I could be able to work on it) I did get the latest one (8.00.2) and also set up manually the MTU value to 1500 (standard is automatic). I also unckeck the "anonymous internet request bock", "Multcast filter" and "Filter NAT forwarding", all of them were checked as standard. I also checked the "HTTPS Internet Access" (standard is only HTTP).
At a first moment I could get a very low sensitive better result (but the Lan was closed, so I had the entire 8Gb for my requests). I came back to work right now, and we have about 30 ppl in, mostly using the Internet, MSN and so... I am trying yo connect to Cabal Online, and GG-Esports (Warcraft, Dota) both of them giving the same problems as always... I am really getting tired and disapointed with LinkSys, I really though I would have much more than I am having right now.
Anyway I gonna keep trying each night to see what I cant get. I do post here If I find any solution (or if I really decided to move to another brand)
Thank you a lot and have a great night out there

Can I upload a simple iPhone App that all it does is direct the User to a Filemaker Pro URL   fmp://~filename.fmp?$VariableName=Value This launches Filemaker Go and directs the user to the Database Hosted online
Right now there is no app store for Filemaker Go.   Filemaker Forgot about us.
So I want to create a simple native iPhone App that all it does
is launch
fmp://~/filename.fmp12?$VariableName=value
This URL will launch the Filemaker Go App
Filemaker Go is a app that the user will have to have
downloaded already on the device..
The Simple Native app will launch the Filemaker Go.
The fmp URL has the information where the Filemaker Pro database is hosted
and get the user where they need to be..
Help Me please
iPhone 5s, iOS 8.1.3

That would be software. And, you said "upload." That's "uploading software." Why do you question what you stated?
I don't know where you even want to upload this software. The only way it can be downloaded to a device is through the iTunes store. Do you even know what you want to do?

Hi, I`d like to connect my Ipad wirelessly to a stereo to listen to my music from the iTunes library on streaming, but also to movies online, games, Goear-) and so on. I guess I can do that using an Airport express connected to the stereo and via airplay

On the iPad you can stream videos, photos, or music from the Video, Photos, Music, and YouTube apps to an Apple TV OR just stream music to an AirPort Express Base Station.

Online games will load and I can play. But then game goes white.

When I play an online game it loads up ok and I can play the game. But when iv been playing it for a while the part of the screen were the game is goes white. The rest of the page stays just like it was. Iv tried using different browsers Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and Google Chrome. Iv found that Internet Explorer will let me play a game the longest before it goes white. My OS is Windows XP (32-bit) the browsers im using are Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.18702 and Google Chrome 23.0.1271.97 . The flash player is the latest one 11.5.502.135 and pepper flash is the latest one 11.5.31.5 . Iv tried everything it suggests in the flash player help section and I still carn't play games to the end of the game. Iv seen this question about screen turning white a lot but none of the questions iv seen about it have not got any reply's. Does that mean that it can't be fixed.

Why can't an online game I play save the level I have reached?

I like to play an online game called Bubblez on Bigfishgames.com. Sometimes the game seems to save levels OK and at other times I have to sign in again as if I was a new player and start over on level 1. I don't know if it is a cache problem? I have tried a few patches but so far I haven't found a fix. Any help would be appreciated.

Can we run an online game server on a os x server, can we run an online game server on a os x server

can we run an online game server on a os x server

Yes, you can.
Probably unnecessary, though.
OS X Server provides different services than what a game server expects and uses. (There can be reasons to run OS X Server on your local network — mail services, web services, local DNS services, etc — and there can be reasons not to — fewer or no services configured running for the inevitable remote attackers to attack, etc.)
If you're one of the many folks looking to run Minecraft Server here, that definitely doesn't require OS X Server.
Once Minecraft Server and Java and the related peices are configured, the next biggest issue the Minecraft folks tend to encounter is with establishing a static or dynamic IP connection into the Minecraft Server — port forwarding and such — and with establishing the dynamic or static DNS translations to allow the remote users to connect to the server, and then with hardening the OS X or OS X Server system against the inevitable security attacks against the system.
There are previous discussions of installing and configuring and troubleshooting the Minecraft Server bits posted around the forums, and it's likely been discussed elsewhere around the 'net, as well.

Can i host small game servers? HL2/Minecraft

Hi, my question here for today is, "Can i host a game server like garrys mod with verizon fios 15/5?". I would like to host a server with 10 people at max. The server wont be on for 24/7 just on the weekends and sometimes on the week days. Is it against the rules to host a server for verizon fios internet? But if it is against the rule, will these small server still effect the bandwidth by a lot that my internet is going to have to get cut off? I also sometimes host minecraft server for just my friend and I, which is about 7 people max.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

To host any server you need to have a static IP address. To have a static IP you have to have a business account which is more expensive. So no but it is not for lack of speed. Back in my COD4 clan days we all paid clan fees to pay for a server hosted by some company. That would probably be cheaper than upgrading to a business account anyways. I can't imagine a minecraft server for 10 people would be that expensive
This is incorrect. A static IP address is not necesary to host a server. A static IP address is needed to allow consistent access to a server by directly typing in its IP address, but who does that? As long as you have a Fully Qualified Domain Name (www.examplename.com) there are many options to dynamically monitor and match your ever-changing verizon-assigned IP address to your static (constant) domain name. It is called dynaic DNS resolution. You install a small daemon (program) on your server and it monitors your IP address. When it changes it updates the DNS entry. It works great.
I just thought I would clear that up, having a dynamic IP address does NOT mean you cannot host a server.
As far as servers being against the TOS of verizon. That's another thing. Then you get into the question of what defines a server. In the simplest sense, every computer is a server in that it "serves" data to other computers. There are many, many programs that run on typical, consumer PC that "serve" information to multiple machines at once: torrents, games, VPNs, it goes on and on. Put another way, I run a web server, not through verizon, but it gets almost not traffic, nn the other hand, when I host a game of of this or that, I'm streaming loads more data out to multiple users and at a rate and quantity that dwarfs the traffic from my "web server" or "VPN" server.
Now I just saw the last post above mine. Very well put indeed. That is the "reality" of what hosting a server would be like. Very good reply above.
So, do you see how the term server can be so subjective. So, the burden of proof falls on verizon to show that you violated the the TOS. Would it be worth the money to prove it?
No, the whole point is to drive you to purchase a business plan from them. That's all. Dont sweat it. Get DynDNS, and have a blast!\

I'm connected to the Internet but I can't sign in on Skype or play online games?!

My parents changed the channel for the BT home hub and I am online the wifi config is all green but I can't play online game or Skype as it says I'm offline?! I have gone on advanced settings and updated my mac and restarted it but still no working but it works fine on my phone! HELP!

Am a newbie but somethings may work here, Go to dock preferences and to network and to your airport connection window.
You have a green light signal in network status window? If it is yellow or red it is unavailable. If your connection is full of traffic, this may effect connection.
In window you may need to type in optional search domains. Your provider should tell you this no one else~ They would also walk you through your connection failures. If it is yellow and you connect to your provider's router and don't have your own router, this number may not appear in your connection information. You need to tell them their router is down so they can fix it. They may not find out if pings come back. Pings may also be cached (I am not sure but it might) so it may take them a while to find out if you don't tell them. I would call your provider. Maybe empty your preferences in your browser. You may have cookies or garbage to empty there. Use another browser.
