Long time gaming issue, problem with router

Okay heres the deal, I'm using sbc yahoo dls, which connects
directly into my airport extreme, and my airport extreme is plugged into my Windows Xp, and also transmutes internet wirelessly for my Mother's Mac OSX which is why we bought it. Now the porblem I'm experiencing is that when I try to connect to a server on a game, such as Age of Empires 2, for example it wont let me, I am also unable to host a server that people can connect to and I've only been experiencing these problems now that we have the airport extreme. I've tried figuring out how to open ports and I have read some explenations but they don't really address my problem at all. Can anyone explain what the problem is, and what I need to do?

Sneekyo, Welcome to the discussion area!
To open ports, follow the directions in How do I use Port Mapping (Part I).
But if that doesn't work for you, you may need to set up your computer as a 'default host' See KB 166677, Setting up a default host on your network.

  • Time Machine backup problems with firewire 800 since Mavericks

    Since I installed Mavericks about a week ago, I have had problems with TM not working with my LaCie external drive. At best, it would not back up when the mac was awakened from sleep mode and in use.  When I would open time machine preferences, I would see the "preparing for back up" prompt that would last forever. Not only was it doing that, I have found that it would freeze my mac. I figured this out when I was not able to get my mac to respond from the login screen. It was basically frozen and couldn't log on.  I noticed the back up drive light flickering but nothing would happen even with waiting a long time. I finally figured out that shutting off the TM EHD would unfreeze the mac and it would start functioning normal again. This was happening with my external HD daisy chained to another external drive that contains my iPhoto, iMovie and Itunes files. That drive was also connected to the mac using firewire 800. I tried many different configurations, switched the order the drives were daisy chained, tried different cables and even directly connected the TM drive with firewire 800 to the mac, but the problems still persisted. The strange thing is that when I connect the TM drive through USB, it works flawlesly and no hanging up of the computer. Thats what Ive been forced to do. I have my other EHD connected directly through firewire 800 and it works fine. I only have one firewire 800 port, and since it works fine with my other LaCie drive, it makes me think its not the port or macs hardware? I can only guess this is a Time Machine issue or something wrong with my TM drive?  I have been in contact with LaCie and given them all these details but I have not heard back yet on what they feel the problem is. I thought I would post this to see if anyone else had some experience with this problem.

    Forgot to mention I did that. Completely erased and reformatted HD and then reconnected to TM. Didn't help. I did have the mac hang up while installing Mavericks and had to eventually shut off the external drive. It did that to me the firs time I tried to install Mavericks and I lost all my data because it did a clean install after that. I had another back up on CCC so I just restored from there. This time the update to Mavericks transferred my data. I have had TM hang up my mac in the past on occasion, but I was always able to shut down the drive and then the mac would return to normal. Perhaps I should try to erase and reformat again?

  • Long Time Customer Very Unhappy With Latest Service

    First off, I've purchased at least $15k-$20K worth of my electronics at Best Buy over the last 10 years...5 flat screens, a Bose sound system, washer and dryer, a Samsung refrigerator....all without problems...until my most recent purchase. I can honestly say it has been the worst experience I've had in retail ever.
    I purchased a Frigidaire FGHS2655PF5A on Feburary 13th, and it arrived quickly on the 16th. It didn't take long for the frost to build up and the internal fan to grind so loudly that it overpowered the tv sound in the next room so I called customer service on March 8th (the problems started earlier but I had other issues going on that took my time). Little did I know that Best Buy's return policy is 2 weeks. That seems really short for a $1,300.00 purchase. So I'm 6 days past a very short window to begin with and they offer to send out someone from Geek Squad to take a look at it. Personally, it sounded bad enough they should have just taken it back but I was given the "no exceptions" line several times, so I accedped the Geek Squad help. 
    The gentlman that came out was incredibly nice and professional, but he couldn't fix the problem. Apparently the first person I spoke with on the phone wasn't listening to the problem and sent a completely unrelated part, so the repair man ordered the right one and came back the next week to install it. Unfortunately it didn't work, and I still have crazy grinding and frost.
    I called the repairman and he in turn called back at the office to have someone call me to schedule a new appointment. I had a voicemail from someone who said to call back to Geek Squad, and that he had an open ticket for me to schedule more help.
    I called in tonight (April 14th)at 7:50 PM PST and got an incredibly unhelpful individual who said "Oh I see the ticket but I can't fulfill it. We were never supposed to even help you the first time" I responded "Well you kind of didn't, hence the reason I'm calling back, but are you telling me you won't send someone out to fix this broken refrigerator?" He said he would check with his manager and put me on hold. Five minutes later he said his manager denied the request. I asked to speak with the manager and he told me "It will be a long time, she's busy and I think she just left the floor" I asked him for his ID number or last name for reference and he said "I can't give you that information" Then I asked him for his supervisor's name "I can't tell you that either". I told him I'd wait for her to be available. 10 minutes later he came back and said "She's still busy, do you want to wait?" I said "Absolutely". 10 minutes later, he came back and said "I've been instructed to schedule someone to come out but I'm not doing it under my name so I don't get in trouble. My manager said that she was going to take too long and didn't want you to wait so I could submit the order"
    So here's the situation I'm in. Long time customer, horrible experience that hasn't been indicative of all of my experiences, but this one was terrible.  In the past I've had nothing but great things to say about Best Buy, but given the incredible frequency of how obnoxiously loud my refrigerator is, I have a story that I will tell everybody that comes into my house and asks "what the heck is that noise?".

    Hello Jmcc084,
    Welcome to the forum. In our household of 5 (sometimes 6 when my son is home from college), I could not see myself being without a fully functioning refrigerator. Also, the grinding noise sounds dreadful. I can completely understand your frustration, and I'm very sorry to hear how many troubles you've encountered to get it repaired.  
    Using the e-mail you registered on the forum, I was able to locate the service orders for your refrigerator, and I will be reaching out to the appropriate team to gather more information. I will be following up with you as soon as I have more details. In the meantime please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. 
    Sincerely,

  • OS X 10.5.x AirPort Dropout Issue - Problem with Apple

    I am posting this as a new topic in the hope that Apple will take urgent action to resolve these AirPort dropout issues with OS X 10.5.x.
    Yesterday, I installed setup a new 40GB partition on my firewire drive and installed OS X 10.5.2 (from my original installation dvd) and did all updates (via Software Update) to arrive at an up-to-date OS X 10.5.5. Only stock standard OS X 10.5.5 installed now.
    Some interesting observations along the way:
    1. After installing 10.5.2 the AirPort network kept dropping out or stalling.
    2. Installed following updates:
    - AirPort Utility (5.3.2)
    - QuickTime (7.5.5)
    - iLife Support (8.3)
    - iTunes (8.0)
    - Remote Desktop Client Update (3.2.2)
    - Java For Mac OS X 10.5 Update 1 (1.0)
    I did not update to OS X 10.5.5 at this time.
    3. Restarted and AirPort network stable and fast.
    4. Ran Software Update again - installed:
    - Front Row Update (2.1.6)
    - Mac OS X Update Combined (10.5.5)
    5. Restarted and AirPort network stable and fast.
    6. Ran Software Update again - all software up to date.
    7. Repaired permissions with Disk Utility.
    Everything has been going fine with connections to the internet with Safari - until this morning.
    My 'clean' OS X 10.5.5 installation is now suffering from the same AirPort network dropouts - no 3rd party applications installed. Ran OK for a day, but after being shutdown for 5 or 6 hours, the problem arose following startup this morning.
    Conclusion:
    1. AirPort problem with OS X 10.5.x; or
    2. AirPort problem with new 17" MBP; or
    3. Problem with AEB 802.11n (gagabit ethernet); or
    4. Problem with DSL modem or ISP connection.
    Comments on item 1 - think I have conclusively eliminated 3rd party software.
    Comment on item 2 - no problems indicated by TechTool Delux or TechTool Pro 4; works OK via ethernet connection.
    Comment on item 3 - previously did factory reset and textbook setup on AEB. Connection via AEB 802.11g relay and remote work fine.
    Comment on item 4 - fact that other computers connect OK and this computer can connect OK via ethernet rules out problems with DSL modem and ISP.
    Draw your own conclusions, but I am now certain the problem is clearly with Apple.

    Hello,
    looks same to me.
    the log says:
    kernel AirPort: Link Down on en1
    kernel unable to collect channel list from hal;(...)
    my AEB is just 2 ms away from the MacBookPro, the AEB is brand new.
    In the moment I have an ethernet cable going from the router through the house, because the AEB is unrelyable. I used all the tricks people posted and said it would solve the problem, which is not the case for me. Dropouts just continue.
    With the old ufo-style extreme there was no problem at all.
    So please Airport developers put effort to solve the problem and suffering of users.
    thanks

  • Two problems with router

    ok so I have a three story house and the modem is downstairs on the second floor then right there I have a Linksys WRT300N router and then that has four ports in the back for hardwire cables and I had comcamst (my isp) come and run a cable up to the third floor for my gaming pc because the wireless wasnt very good because I have thick walls. This worked great and then I got my ps3. I tried using wireless and it was slow so i now switch the cable between the two depending on what im using. I want to hardwire both of them so how would i do this? The problem I am having may have to do with the router but not sure. I have COD4 for PC and I always had problems with punkbuster and the servers kicking me. Now I have MW2 for the PS3 and I go to log on to online play but it just says "connecting to matchmaking server..." The servers are back online from what I hear, they came on this morning and plus this is not the same message people were getting for people who couldnt connect because of the server being taken down. If someone could help me hardwire both my PC and PS3 with my set up and help me with online issues I would be very happy thanks!

    The cable you are using from the router to upstairs...Instead of that cable,Connect a switch to the router and connect your both the PS3 to the switch...it will work fine.

  • IChatAV possibly problems with router, any ideas please?

    Can anyone please help me?
    I have spent a few days trying to work out what is wrong with my network/computer setup that prevents video chat working to computers that are not on my LAN. I have read just about every forum and post that looks meaningful but am struggling now.
    Once upon a time it all just worked (with tiger). Now that I have a use for it..... obviously it doesn't.
    My set-up is a little complicated but I can't believe its too unusual. I have a couple of macs and PCs running leopard with all the latest patches (although ichat had stopped working before the leopard upgrade). The LAN uses 192.168.1.0/24. I have a linux based router (openwrt-white russian 0.9 WRT-54GS) which runs amongst other things an asterisk SIP server (on port 5060). But while the versions of software have changed (mainly to try and get iChat working), it is still the same set up that used to work. There is an airport extreme on the LAN as well but that is in bridge mode and used as a 802.11n AP and printer server. My DSL modem is a Dlink DSL-302G which is running in half bridge mode which terminates the ASP's PPP session and presents IP packets addressed to the router which is provided with the PPP supplied IP address using DHCP. The router therefore is effectively connected directly to the ISP, there is no NAT in the DSL modem, only the router.
    My ISP now offers a SIP based VoIP service which I use via asterisk on the router. The asterisk server also uses several other SIP based providers for both incoming and outgoing calls but these have been there for a long time and still work fine, so the ISP isn't messing with SIP messages.
    As I have said this set-up once all worked fine with iChat over the internet. Now all that works is text.
    iChat does work between machines on my LAN where I can do text, audio, video and screen sharing. I assume that this means that ports to external co-ordinating entities are working through the router. Non of the LAN machines have a firewall configured on them.
    When I try and set up an AV chat with a remote machine I get to the "Starting video chat with..." and then after 10-15 seconds I get an error:-
    Disconnected from video chat because:
    Did not receive a response from xxxx xxxx
    When I try and set up an AV chat with appleu3test01 I get a different message saying "appleu3test01 cancelled the connection which I am assuming is just something timing out quicker on the bot and causing it to cancel the call before the setup protocol times out.
    I have messed with the router adding and removing different uPNP agents but as far as I can tell they are working. I can see that UDP port 16402 has been set up for forwarding to the my imac.
    When calling a friend, I have run network traces on the mac and both LAN and WAN ports of the router. I don't have any information on the AIM protocols to see if the problem is in there. I can provide the traces if this is useful. I do notice that SIP messages are being sent to my friends internet IP address but that they only contain my machine's LAN IP address ...
    INVITE sip:user@{friend's WAN IP addr}:16402 SIP/2.0
    Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 192.168.1.4:16402;branch=z9hG4bK1cf33cfb08dfaaca
    Max-Forwards: 70
    To: "{friend's name}@mac.com3" <sip:user@{friend's WAN IP addr}:16402>
    From: "my name" <sip:[email protected]:16402>;tag=149537885
    Call-ID: bcb4f7d8-d235-11dc-a3aa-b2953c604012@192-168-1-4
    CSeq: 1 INVITE
    Contact: <sip:[email protected]:16402>;isfocus
    User-Agent: Viceroy 1.3
    Content-Type: application/sdp
    Content-Length: 736
    .....snip....
    Is this correct? UDP port 16402 has been upnp configured in the router to DNAT to 192.168.1.4:16402 which is the machine I made the call on. I do not receive a response to this message or any other SIP messages from my friend. I can see a upnp conversation between the mac and the router which asks for an external ip address which is provided. I can also see this external IP address being used in some AIM message fields.
    Any ideas gratefully received and I can send significantly more information if required.
    Thanks if you read this far.
    Steve

    Ralph, Thanks for replying. There where no received SIP messages at all just the INVITE being sent but I have made some more progress. The mini does indeed just work. I can do everything that you are supposed to do to other ichat users on the internet. Very nice.
    The imac is still playing up but I have got further. I had peerguardian2 installed which unknown to me doesn't need to be running to prevent you for accessing 'barred' IP addresses. snatmap.mac.com is barred in the lists! I discovered this when I saw one of your other posts showed how to turn on terminal logging for ichat. Now that I have turned off peerguardian2 (using the disable filters option) I can make calls to the testbot and see the adverts. I have even done a video conference with the two testbots. I will just uninstall peerguardian2.
    However, I can not get a AV chat working to a real user....
    In response to your suggestions:-
    I have tried all the options for quicktime streaming but will try 1.5Mb/s again.
    The ichat bandwidth limit is set to "none". I am in New Zealand and I have standard ADSL (not ADSL2+) 7.6M down 512K up. The mini config is also set to none.
    Internet sharing is off.
    I have had parallels on the machine but the two interfaces that it installed "Parallels Host-Guest" and "Parallels NAT" are configured 'off' and show as not connected. Is this enough? I will uninstall parallels and see if that helps since I don't use it. I also have VMware's thing installed but that doesn't seem to add any interfaces.
    I need to capture a full trace of the imac to other ichat user to see what is happening but will update when I have does your suggested changes or have a trace
    Thanks again

    it takes a long time to open the message with an embedded picture: at 6 sec to open an image size of 75kb
    When I open the same message in OWA no delays at all.
    I am using Exchange server 2010 Sp2 and I already created new outlook profiles for the users affected. no changes.
    Any ideas?

  • Time zone compatability problem with timed event created on iOS and pushed to Windows7 Outlook calendar for sharing

    Hi, I am in Jerusalem time zone. My Windows7 LAPTOP time zone is set to it (UTC+02:00 Jerusalem). My iPhone5 and iPad are both "Set Automatically" (ON)  to Jerusalem. When I create any new event in my outlook on my Laptop it's generated with the Jerusalem time zone and pushed properly via iCloud to my iPhone and iPad. However when I create a new timed event on either my iPhone or iPad. or even in iCloud calendar (in a browser) the event is pushed to outlook on my Laptop in a "Beirut" time zone. Now that both Jerusalem and Beirut are on the same time zone (UTC + 02:00) it doesn't create any problem (though I prefer to see that the pushed events are indeed in Jerusalem time zone and not Beirut...). However, at and around day time saving change days there are problems of events created on iOS devices or even in iCloud (using browser) and pushed to outlook at the wrong times (1 hour earlier or later, depends on the change direction in Jerusalem time...) with a Beirut time stamp.
    How can I resolve this problem and make sure all timed events, created on iOS devices at a Jerusalem time zone, appear as such after pushed via iCloud to my windows7 Outlook calendatr?  Thanks!

    I also have this issue (iPhone 5).  Outlook needs to be configured properly in that timezone option needs to be selected.  Which is challenging enough.
    However the bigger issue for me is that when I open the ICN file:
    1.  I have no way to accept decline etc.
    2.  When the event is populating the calendar in the wrong time I can neither cut and paste nor select and move.  It is totally static.
    So for every meeting request I have to ensure it populates the right time as per my time zone. and if it doesnt i have to manually enter a second meeting 'X' hours earlier/later depending on which time zone the meeting was generated in.
    I spoke to Apple.  Their solution is make sure Outlook is properly configured.  Fine...but good luck.  I need a work around that is Apple based.  Because this *****.
    They said they would send to the development team.  I am not holding my breath.

  • Problems with router connecting to internet

    Several weeks ago, there was a small blackout for a couple hours. When the power came back on, I could not get an internet connection. After disconnecting the router, and connecting the modem directly to the computer, I have been able to get online. However, I still cannot seem to get the router to work.
    I have followed the steps to set up a PPPoE connection several times. The correct display lights come on on both the modem and the router. Also, the router's status page says it is connected and the computer's network connections says that the internet gateway is connected.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    When you have a storm or power failure, disconnect all power cords and cables between the wall and the modem and you will not have any problems with your network

  • Time Machine Backup Problem with OS X 10.9.4

    I am having a problem with the Time Machine backup on a MacBook Pro 2.6 running OS X 10.9.4.  What is happening is it starts the backup and then gets to a certain point and just freezes indefinitely at that point.  (Indefinitely meaning overnight >12 hrs)  I deleted the sparsebundle file and restarted the backup and it essentially freezes at the same point.  It's like there's a particular file it has an issue with.  Is there a way to tell what file it's backing up when it freezes so I can exclude it from the backup.  I initially thought it was a Time Capsule and backing up over the network issue.  I acquired a USB 3 Seagate drive and tried using it with the same result.  So, the issue has nothing to do with the Maverick network "qwerks" I've seen referenced.
    My initial backup size is about 250 GB.  I've pared that back by excluding the Parallels Virtual Machines on the hard drive and my IPhoto Library.  That scales the back up size to about 55 GB.   Before I did the file exclusion it was hanging up at 1.83 GB out of ~250GB.  Now it's hanging up at 1.82 GB out of ~55 GB.  So it's as if it is reaching some file it has an issue with and stopping.
    Any thoughts?
