Can't Connect to online games / other players Wii U

I can browse the internet and see other people online on my wii u via wifi but i cant connect to online games of mario kart 8 and people cant connect to my games of mario kart 8. There is a lot going around about how poor telstra is for supporting this but I want to play mario kart 8 online, if I can't do that on telstra then I will take my business elsewhere.

Leigh-M,
BigPond does not provide support for 3rd party devices such as the WiiU. If you are experiencing difficulties your first point of contact would be Nintendo.
Can you confirm what troubleshooting steps you have done?
Have you made sure you have the latest firmware updates?
Confirmed that there are no ports that need to be opened to do this?
Have you tried manually configuring the DNS servers to those of other states or using Googles public DNS?
Have parental controls been disabled?
Are you able perform a traceroute to the 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

    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.

  • How can i connect iphone 4 with other mobile through bluetooth

    how can i connect iphone 4 with other mobile through bluetooth

    You can't. iPhone does not have this feature.
    Some iOS apps will allow you to connect to other iOS devices for peer-to-peer games, or sending photos, but not to other makes of phone.

  • HT4199 Why am I being asked to reset my router because I can't connect to a game app but everything else is working fine?

    I've been told to reset my router as a possible solution to not being able to connect to a game app. Why is this when my connection is fine for everything else, including other game apps ?
    Thanks

    From my own experience Routers can be a little 'fussy' from time to time. For example my other half may well be happily surfing the 'net on her iPad but mine won't connect, however after a quick 'reset' of the router - unplug it for about 30seconds, then plug back in - all is happy and working again. So this may be the reason why.
    Regards,
    Steve

  • Can connect to my house network, but can't connect to the Internet (other computers can)

    Hello,
    I'm experiencing a strange problem. Since I started my Mac Pro (cold start) some hours ago, I've lost the hability to connect to the Internet (Safari and Mail say I'm not connected). However, I can connect to 192.168.2.1 (my router) and see its webpage (it says it's connected to the Internet). If I use another computer on the same network, it can also connect to the Internet.
    Weirder, if I go back to my Mac Pro with "no internet" and launch Parallels Desktop, then I can use WinXP to browse the Internet; I'm writing this post on my WinXP virtual machine.
    This leads me to think there's a problem with how my Mac OS handles the networking. I have checked the Console, but the only related string I found is this:
    16.04.13 22:03:25
    kernel
    SIOCPROTOATTACH_IN6: en2 error=17
    As expected, Google doesn't reveal anything about that (and I'm connected with the first ethernet port). I've tried to restart my Mac, but the problem persists (exact same symptoms).
    Could it be a DNS cache issue?
    I don't see, other than a DNS problem, why I can't connect to the Internet with my Mac OS while I can on my virtual machines. If it was a driver problem, I wouldn't be able to connect to my router. If it's a DNS issue, where are the DNS caches located in order to clear them (I'd trash the folder)?
    I could also reinstall the OS (waste of time, btw), but I'd really like to understand the problem, not just clear it and forget about it.
    Or better than guesses, anyone already experienced this?
    Any help welcome.

    If it's a DNS issue, where are the DNS caches located in order to clear them (I'd trash the folder)
    No DNS caches, it looks up the alphabetic and then uses the numberic from then on.
    http://17.149.160.49
    is Apple, Inc main US web site. It that works, and the alphabetic does not, you have a DNS probelm.

  • Yosemite can't connect to my NAS & other weirdness

    Hi
    I'm running Yosemite 10.10 on an Early 2011 15" Macbook Pro i7 with 8GB of RAM.  The machine is connected to the network via Wi-Fi and my network is managed by a SKY router. All devices are configured to use DHCP to obtain their IP address from the router.
    I have two NAS boxes on my network, a Western Digital MyCloud and a Buffalo Linkstation Pro.
    Since upgrading to Yosemite I cannot access the Linkstation NAS box.
    I can ping it on the network and I can call up the configuration pages in a web browser using the ip address, I can also access it from windows devices.
    However if I try to connect to it using my mac it fails every time.
    I use Go->Connect to Server then put in the details of the share, I'm prompted for a user name and password as expected but then the process stalls for several minutes before finally failing with the following error message.
    'There was a problem connecting to the server "xxxxxxx"
    Check the server name or IP address and then try again. If you continue to have problems, contact your system administrator.'
    I've tried specifying smb, cifs, and even afp in the connection attempts but they all fail.
    The Western Digital NAS works OK although it's a bit slow to make the initial connection.
    The other weird thing is that my Macbook keeps changing it's NETBIOS name and I don't know why.  I named the machine ChristophersMBP but it keeps getting numbers appended to the end of it.  It's currently up to ChristophersMBP5.
    The whole thing is very frustrating especially as if I boot Windows 7 using bootcamp it attaches to the share without any problems.
    And help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    It looks like I've found, if not a fix, then at least a work around.
    I was searching around the web and found other people having the same problem with their machine name changing.
    The fault seemed to be caused by "Wake on LAN" being enabled on the machine.  I checked my machine and, sure enough it was enabled.
    Quite why I'd want wake on LAN enabled on a laptop I'm not sure so I had no problem with disabling it.
    I disabled wake on LAN, renamed my computer again and rebooted it.
    Now I find I can successfully connect to my NAS box!
    This is a guess but I wonder if the renaming was causing problems with DNS or reverse DNS lookups?

  • How can I download free online games and be assured they are virus free?

    I try to dowload free online games which such site claim to be virus free, however
    amessage appears from mozilla which disallowed such program and states to
    hit the allow button to override????

    Firefox usually will require you to approve installing an add-on (particularly an extension), because they have access to everything you do in Firefox.
    I don't think most games require their own add-ons. You might consider trying some other games that just run in the Flash player.

  • Nintendo 3DS not connecting during online games to Macbook Pro or Airport Express Network. Please Help.

    I would love to post this question to the Nintendo Support forums, but I'm abroad right now and it seems I am denied from the forums if I try to log in.
    My Nintendo 3DS's internet features all work perfectly fine except when it comes down to directly playing a match with other users. For example, Mario Kart 7 will download Spot pass data like normal every day, but everytime I tray to play a match online, the software gives me an error. Same thing when I try to connect with people on Animal Crossing: New Leaf. My previous linksys router back in the states worked fine. The security was WEP I remember. Now I've got myself an Airport express and neither it nor my Macbook Pro (when sharing is turned on) will permit me direct online access to other users like I stated above. I even disabled security and went with an open network for a few minutes and was faced with the same exact problem.
    I know this is very specific and mainly involves a none apple product, but I'm just curious what is different about the Apple wireless networks I'm setting up that is preventing me from nothing but direct realtime interactions with other users.
    Any advice or knowledge about Apple security or wireless networks would really help me out. There are only so many settings I can tweak in the Airport Express so I'm sure it can't be too difficult, but I don't even know where to start.

    I guess it's a problem with NAT (Network Address Translation). My ISP is Vectant Ltd. so maybe I should get a hold of them. If anyone has any work arounds that maybe they used with other game consoles (Xbox Live, PSN), I could really use the suggestion. I really like the Airport express and assumed it would be compatible, but I guess not.

  • How can I connect my MBP to other devices?

    Hello,
    I have a Yamaha DVD Receiver ("Natural Sound", RDX-E700) and would like to connect it to my MBP so I can hear the my music from iTunes through the loudspeakers connected to the DVD Receiver. Every time I try it doesn't work, even if I switch to AUX mode or whatever... I have a cable which allows me to do so on the big TV and DVD player (also Yamaha), but not on my little Yamaha.
    Can you help me?
    Thanks

  • I have setup JSP & MySQL but how can i Connect it to eche other ?

    I feel sory by asking this qustion but i tried very enough
    100 mile start from 1 mile ^_^
    I have tested JSP files by http://localhost:8080/test.jsp
    and it works very will
    also i have already installd MySQL and i can create databases and tables by http://localhost/phpMyAdmin
    so what i have to do else to connect JSP to MySQL ? , ( if nothing )
    how can i test that MySQL Connected with JSP, so that i can display data from database ?
    Best Regards
    JMalik

    create a java bean, which is just similar to a java class and put the database connection there so you wouldn't have to include that code in all you jsps everytime you connect to the database
    this is for DbConnection.java
    package connection;
    import java.sql.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class DBConnection
         private Connection con;
         public DBConnection()
              try
                  Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
                  con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/yourfolder?user=yourusername&password=yourpassword");
            catch (Exception e)
                 e.printStackTrace();
         public Connection getConnection()
              return con;
         public void close()
              try
                   con.close();
              catch(Exception e)
                   e.printStackTrace();
    }in another bean/class which connects to your database,
    say for example this is SelectUsers.java
    public String[] selectActiveUsers(int id) throws Exception, SQLException
         try
                   con = new DBConnection().getConnection();
                   Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
                   String ins = "<your select statement>";     
                            stmt.executeUpdate(ins);
                            con.close();
                   stmt.close();
             catch (SQLException se)
                    System.out.println("SQL Exception: " + se.getMessage() + "not connected");
                    se.printStackTrace(System.out);
         }and in your jsp, instantiate the class
    users.jsp
    SelectUsers su = new SelectUsers();
    String[] users = su.selectActiveUsers(1);got it?

  • Can´t connect to WiFi when other Mac users can (in Spain)

    Two days ago I went to a coffeeshop with free wifi in Spain and had no trouble using my Airport menubar logo to log on using their network and password. Just type it into the box, press Return, and presto, no problems.
    Today I get Connection timeout errors when I try to do the same thing. When I change the password to something wrong, I get an Invalid Password error, so I know I´ve typed it correctly. I change it back and it goes back to Connection Timeout. Sometimes it waits a moment, sometimes it takes awhile, but it´s always a timeout.
    Other Mac users report no problems. I do exactly the same thing as they do (modulo differences in the language of the menus, of course) and they connect with no problems.
    The cafe changes its procedures periodically to be sure that only customers can connect. The key difference this time seems to be that they specify that the password be WEP 128 bit ASCII. When I use the little Airport logo in the menubar, it doesn´t let me specify this. When I access the Network Diagnostics to specify this, I type in the 10'character password and the Join button is greyed out! It becomes clickable only with a 5 character password. So I tried just the first 5 characters of the password... and again it times out.
    HELP! As you can imagine, all the cafe personnel can only suggest that I reboot and try again.
    What kind of system setting might be different on Macs in Spain versus my Macbook Pro from the U.S. that would cause this frustrating behavior?

    Thanks, Henry. I didn't mean to suggest that engineers were the SOLE cause of the problem. Some of my best friends are engineers (grin)! And thanks for the link to the Apple explanation page.
    But it still frosts my shorts to pay extra for a WiFi card which won't work in certain countries under certain conditions, without any advance warning. And the same goes for countries which have so-called "experts" (the WiFi guru for that cafe, for example) who don't seem to know about the limitations of their country's implementation of a supposed international "standard."

  • CAn we connect one fact to other fact in obiee

    I have 4 fact tables in my data model and those 4 facts are connected to one fact table ..Does OBIEE support doing this?
    any suggestions

    Hi,
    In case, you have a different fact table other than the 4, you can always bring in that as a different logical source in BMM. However, could you please let us know, why you would like to map the other 4 fact tables to this? Are there any other measures which you are trying to bring in? If this is the case, you could bring in this fact as different source and when reporting the BI Server can do the stitching for us.
