Online game keeps disconnecting

Hello. I have the linksys router WRT54GS. I just started playing this online video game and I get disconnected every 20 min to a half hour. Can anyone help please.
I know nothing of this at all so please bear with me.
Someone told me it might have to something with the router ports but again I know nothing of this. Any help would be appreciated.

if you are "joining" an online session, you do not need to forward the ports, forwarding ports is need it only when you are the host.
don't know the game you play but I know that online games can be very difficult to play if you do not know the technical part of them....I could imagine that it not a problem in your end, perhaps it is simply wrong game online settings from the host side; it could be many things, like "rates per client", high pings, low upload internet speed, etc, etc.
if you can "chat" with the host, please let him/her know you disconnection problem....good luck.
I host myself online sessions in another game (rfactor) therefore I can tell you about wrong host settings.
regards

HT1338 i've been getting an error when trying to play online games saying that i need to have the browser in 32 - bit mode. my browser is in 32 - bit mode but the msg keeps coming up and not running the game

i've been getting an error when trying to play online games saying that i need to have the browser in 32 - bit mode. my browser is in 32 - bit mode but the msg keeps coming up and not running the game

I dunno, that doesn't make any sense to me.
I just shut down and rebooted into the SnowLeopard partition and took a peek at the preference panes. There are only 3 that run in 32 bit only. They are all 3rd party, and none of the prefpanes are non Intel. Like I said, I have never owned a PPC machine. Anyhow, SnowLeopard doesn't even have an iCloud prefpane, or a combined mail, contacts, and calenders prefpane, and the ML security and privacy prefpane is all new as well. The software update prefpane is Intel and 64 bit in both SnowLeopard and Lion.
As to the triple boot, unless I'm totally mistaken, what I have here is, in essence, 3 seperate descrete computers in one box. All using the same hardware. but one at a time. I wouldn't know how to get more than one running at the same time, without using a virtual machine, even if I wanted to. (Which I don't) I do sometimes transfer files from one to another using the shared folder, but other than that, they do not interact. How could ML system preferences be trying to launch prefpanes from a totally different machine?

My iPad WiFi Almost Every Day Keeps Disconnecting, especially if I am watching a video online. How do I fix this?

My iPad WiFi Almost Every Day Keeps Disconnecting, especially if I am watching a video online. How do I fix this?

Howdy Danny_98,
Here is a great article to help troubleshoot wifi connectivity with your iOS device. Named iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections it can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398.
Be sure that you are in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and then on again.If unable to do so, see this article.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and Cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and indicate that they are connected to the Internet.If not, refer to your network administrator or ISP for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you are connected. Then tap > and Forget this Network. Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network again.
Note: You will need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your desired network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and then on again2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2.For AirPort Base Stations, see this article for information about firmware updates.
Those are the basic troubleshooting steps and there is another section toward the bottom named Wi-Fi disconnects, or signal strength is less than expected that is very relevant as well.

WRT54G v 8.00.2 Constant Disconnects - Online Games

Yesterday, I bought the Linksys WRT54G v.8 to replace my aging Netgear wireless router. My kids both play World of Warcraft and have complained for months about constantly getting disconnected. We all thought it was the Netgear router. Well, if anything, it's worse now. I've tried several times to explain the situation to Linksys Tech Support via Live Chat but I get disconnected. I even spoke to my cable company (Time Warner RoadRunner) and they wanted me to turn off all firewalls (including the one on the router). I've turned off all the software firewalls but not the hardware one on the WRT54G. I've been doing some research, trolling around on the web trying to find a similar situation. Basically, about every 20-30 minnutes, our internet connection resets and it takes a minute or two to reconnect. Devastating in an online game. I turned on QoS (something I didn't have on the NetGear) and selected the Optimize for Gaming and entered the ports for the various online games. But I am still experiencing disconnects. I even changed the MTU from 1500 to 1400 but I eventually put it back to 1500 because it messed with my webserver. I am not a network engineer by any means but I and my children are extremely frustrated with this whole situation. Any suggestions? Any utilties I can run on my LAN to sniff out what is resetting my connection? Thanks in advance, Jon

All this trouble I went through and I was right to begin with. The cable modem went bad. It had been going bad for months! I swapped it out the day after Labor Day and my Internet connection was faster than ever and completely reliable.
Too bad no one responded to my original post though. Kind of disappointing.

IPhone 4s wifi keeps disconnecting..?

then reconnects right when I go to settings view wireless networks. Its almost as it knows it disconnected then it reconnects back up. Please help this is driving me nuts,for example Im playing an online game then it disconnects then I go to my settings>wifi then it will reconnect then I have to rejoin the online game again. PLEASE HELP!!!

i came to know that discconecting from WiFi to 3G is a built-in feature in IOS 5 that enable battery save! your phone will keep listings to incoming connections from 3G (if it is enabled) and will turn to WiFi once needed, or when you unlock the screen manually to use your phone!
However, i did find a fix (at least works for me at the moment)
Connect your iPhone to your Mac/PC and launch iTunes (if it is not already launched, make sure you run latest iTunes version), once your phone is visible in the left hand side column, click on it, then in the right window you will see tabs on top (summary, info, apps, tones, etc....), click on summary and scroll to the bottom of the page until you reach options box, tick the box that says (Sync with this iPhone over wifi) and then hit apply in the bottom right corner (check any warranging message if they show up).
now you can disconnect your iPhone and close/quit iTunes.
Now your phone will have WiFi on all the time, and will be automatically discovered in iTunes once you launch it (if you want)
This is working for me. and i hope it will help you

After iOS6, my wi-fi keeps disconnecting! Anyone else having this issue?

After iOS6, my wi-fi keeps disconnecting!
I'll be playing an online game and every-so-often, my wifi will disconnect. Very annoying when the game im playing requires you to stay til the end to receive points if you win.
I know its not a problem with my router as this problem only started after i installed iOS6.
Anyone else having this issue?

I seem to be having the same problem with the wi-fi, but mine also extends to my phone too - shows I have full signal strength, but won't let me dial out, then sometimes it does and then sometimes it cuts me off! A bit of me thinks my iphone is about to roll over and expire and it's just giving me a early warning, but having read this discussion I feel there is a glimmer of hope that it's all just Apple (iOS6 & Mountain Lion on my iMac) - hurry up with those updates Apple - PLEASE!! It wouldn't be so bad if they just confirmed with everyone there's a problem and that the fix is on it's way!! Communication, Apple, it is the future!!

USB device keeps disconnecting/connecting after upgrading to Windows 8.1

I have a device(Pedal for Sim Racing) connected via USB, everything is working fine in Windows 7 and 8 but after upgrading my machine to Windows 8.1 the device keeps disconnecting and connecting for like every 2 seconds. But after I open the Property Sheet
in Game Controllers panel the disconnection issue was gone, if I reconnect the device the issue persist. Other people who have similar device also encounters the same issue after upgrading to windows 8.1. The issue persist with or without the device driver
installed.
Any idea, what might cause this?
Best regards
mark

I'v got this exact same problem with my Win 7 desktop. I've also got pedals and wheel but don't see it as different than all the other USB devices. I'm using a bunch of USB, but no hubs, including 3 external storage hard drives. But the momentary
disconnect appears in all devices as best as i can see..even my long time trouble free head phones..keyboard..and all. Sometimes the sound goes away and if I unplug and replug them the sound comes back, and other times I have to exit and re enter the
game. I also get video crashes ..maybe not related.IDK..and have to restart all, because I've got three black screens in Eyefinity. For years my system was trouble free and its just slowly started getting worse. I've thought it had to do with system "sleep"
etc but long ago went to never sleep max performance etc..Makes no difference. Keep thinking its my hardware or my house wiring etc..But can't seem to solve it. I replaced my Mobo/chip/ram maybe 6 months ago and that appears to have not helped. It seems
to be getting worse. I hate to start replacing parts piece by piece..cost a lot of money and sometimes doesn't help.
When I'm playing a game I can often hear "faint" sound of USB connect disconnect happening with regularity..that little bing/boink sound etc..So it must just be constantly happening...Seems weird. Didn't have anything like this happening years
ago with pretty much the same hardware and same Win7 with the continuing updates etc.
What can be causing this common problem?

What prog language/tools for a browser based online game ?

I am going to start a project for an multiplayer online game community soon, and need some advice.
The community will consist of the game itself, forum, wiki and irc-chat and use f/oss software to keep the running costs as low as possible.
The game is the heart of the community and will be a turn-based wargame with roleplaying and strategy options, mainly text based with some graphics and animations and played through a browser. (These kind of games are often referred to as Multiplayer Online RolePlaying game MORPG )
The SQL player database will have up to approx 100k player records, each of which will have many fields.
The game code will run 24/7 on a linux server (distro not chosen yet) and needs to fulfill these requirements :
easily maintanable by multiple programmers
programmers should be able to develop/test parts of the code on their own pc's using linux or windows.
good, fast access to the player DB
combat calculations will be mathemically complicated, and need to be fast
User interaction will be through a web-page
A way to keep users from accessing the game code directly to avoid computer players. (it's possible this has more to do with the code structure than with the language)
Most games of this type seem to use a php/ C combination, but that appears to have several drawbacks.
Specifically code maintainability and distinguishing between humans and bots/computer players are a problem for these games.
What environment do you think would fulfill these requirements ?
P.S. if this is to theoretical, check out these links to see some similar games :

i think java could be a good choice for the programminglanguage. Most computer have the JVM installed already...

1131AG keeps disconnecting from 5508 wlc

We have about 20 APs in our network and about 4-5 are 1131AGs and the rest are 3500s. The 1131s disconnect from the controller for about 2 minutes (i guess it is rebooting) and then comes back up. This happens every 1-5 days. I have tried changing the power level and the channel. I am not sure why the 1131s keep disconnecting.

I checked the wireless tab on the WLC gui and the AP uptime resets back to 0. So it is probably rebooting/crashing.
I tried pulling up logs from both the APs and the WLC. The logs stop about 3 months before and then continues right when the AP comes back online (ex. Apr 14 was the last log then Jul 1 was when the AP reset and came back online and joined the controller).
Although there is a Jul 5th message:
*Jul 5 16:00:13.121: %CAPWAP-3-ERRORLOG: Received a upload request from controller for event log buffer

The making of an online game

Hello all users of the sun forums.
I've always been facinated of games and have been wrestling with the idea about learning enough to be able to make a simple online game.
I got several questions, mainly to see if this is something realistic or if it's not doable as a lone wolf.
Would java be the right programming language for a online game? (As it can be run on many different platforms, its a good candidate).
- Any other languages that should be learned in addition to java?
- Specific books that would benefit for the making of a online game?
What database technology should I learn about that would be the most beneficial for a online game? (be it a small or a large game)
I know very little about servers and networking, so some points about things to read up on would be nice.
And something i've always wondered about - How powerful server do you need for a 100 player thirdperson strategy game?
I know this might take me some years to learn, but its fun to have something to fill my sparetime with.
And sorry for my bad english!

Are there big differences between SQL databases command vise?Well. Not big differences, but significant differences. I wouldn't worry about those at the moment if I were you.
Are there any database standards except SQL?Probably, but SQL is the one you'd be using.
I've been looking through several job applications, but it's hard to put together a list of programming languages that would go along with Java. HTML, XHTML, PHP, CSS, JavaScript, .NET, C#, C++ etc..Well, HTML and CSS and such aren't really programming languages... I'd recommend that you concentrate on Java and then include other things as you go along (and realize that something might be useful to know).
My way of attacking this would be to make a roadmap of what I'm going to learn and attack it step by step, but it's hard when I don't know what I should include. Please recommend books as I find it easier to read, than tutorials on the net.I'm sure your way sounds very good, but it's impossible to do it like that. You can't decide in advance all the things that you want and are going to learn and then just go on and do it. Learning is a continuous process. I have about 10 years of Java behind me and some dabbling in other programming languages, but I still keep learning things. And I bet most of the people here with 20+ years in the industry (look at the people with tens of thousands of posts) will say the same thing.
I haven't read it myself, but Joshua Bloch's Effective Java has been recommended in several places. I hope you enjoy reading, because that's really the best way to learn and then keep up with the programming scene.

NEED HELP! Modem keeps disconnecting w/K7T266 Pro & WinXP

My system:
K7T266 Pro
Athlon 1333MH
256Mb DDR 2100
MSI GeForce 2 MX, 32Mb
Zoom V.92 internal modem
SB Live! 5.1
2 x 80Gb Maxtor HD
LiteOn 16x12x40 CD-RW
USB mouse
340 W Enlight Power Supply
This system worked fine on the internet when I was running Win98. I upgraded to WinXP and now the modem keeps disconnecting shortly after connecting (but it always connects for a short period of time).
Here's what I have tried: Reloaded WinXP Home Edition on a newly formatted HD using a clean install (not an upgrade) and the NT file system. Loaded the latest MSI 4-in-1 drivers and upgraded Bios to latest version (v1.9). Reloaded all the software. Got all the latest XP drivers and WinXP updates. Have tried 4 different brands of modems, internal and external. Have tried modems in different PCI slots (currently using PCI slot 3 with SB in slot 4). Have tried modem on different Com ports (currently using Com 3). Have tried slowing down the com port speed. There is no IRQ sharing with the modem. Have tried different phone jacks and cords (the same ones that work fine on the older HP Win98 computer I am writing this on). Have tried 2 different ISPs (currently using CompuServe). Have reloaded the ISP software several times (trying different versions) and currently have their latest XP version - ISP says others are not having this problem with their software (have spent hours with their technical help with no resolution). Not using any ad blocker or anti-virus software (yet).
Nothing I have tried has made any difference so far. Am I missing something? I don't want to go back to Win98!
Oh ya, another minor annoyance: My system freezes after sitting idle for a while, even though the Windows power scheme is set to Always On and no screensaver. Otherwise, everything else works fine.

Hello everyone,
I was gone for a few days, but when I got home I was very happy to see some more posts to this thread!!
Last night I tried disabling the SoundBlaster (with the Windows System Device Manager). I disabled both the sound card and the game port. The modem was still disconnecting.
Until now I hadn't heard of Via chipsets and SoundBlasters not getting along well with each other either. I had, however, previously tried another sound card - it was an older Diamond Monster card I had, but I couldn't find a WinXP driver for it. It didn't work well at all with WinXP. So back to the SoundBlaster Live! 5.1.
I did find a cure for the other problem I mentioned. I noticed that the SoundBlaster and all 3 USB controllers were sharing IRQ 10. I removed the USB optical mouse and tried a PS2 ball mouse. That solved the problem where the system was freezing after sitting idle for a while. I sure liked the optical mouse better though. This same problem may have been related to another one I noticed. When playing audio CDs, sometimes the sound would stop momentarily and then go on again. I haven't yet had a chance to see if removing the USB mouse solved that problem as well. I have also noticed that the volume of audio CDs are controlled by the wave volume and not the CD volume. Is this normal? I have both the analog and digital cables connected and the CD digital setting enabled. It's very annoying, since turning the volume up on audio CDs causes the Windows wave sounds to blast me out when they play. I don't know how to set the SoundBlaster to use one of the other unused IRQs - can anyone tell me how to?
I haven't yet tried the PCI latency patches, because I wasn't too hopeful after seeing that it didn't work for Philipponnat.
Now for the Bios. I have always had my Primary Graphics Adapter setting on AGP. The onboard modem and audio settings have always been set to disabled. I was excited to see that Philipponnat found a cure for the modem disconnections with the PCI latency setting. When I went to my computer to do the same thing, I was disapointed to find that my Bios does not have a setting by that name, either in the PNP/PCI configuration or anywhere else. The only thing I found that looked related was one called "PCI Delay Transaction" in the Advanced Chipset Features section, but the only settings available are enabled or disabled. Mine was set to disabled, but I couldn't tell any difference when I set it to enabled. Maybe we have different boards - mine is version 1, but I have flashed the Bios to the latest version I found, v1.9.
I have noticed another strange thing in the Bios. The Bios no longer detects the power supply fan speed - it always reads zero RPM in Bios even though the lead is hooked up. The other fans show a reading. The power supply fan used to show a reading when I first put the computer together.
I also have S.M.A.R.T. enabled. I have 2 identical hard drives. They are Maxtor 80Gb 7200RPM ATA133 drives which are S.M.A.R.T. capable. Only the primary drive (master on the primary IDE) displays S.M.A.R.T values in SpeedFan. The other drive is set as a slave on the secondary IDE (my CD-R-RW is set as the master on the secondary IDE).
There have sure been a lot of wierd things about this motherboard. Thank you everyone for your input so far. Still need more help!!

Why does magic mouse keep disconnecting?

I've got an Apple Magic Mouse that is less than one year old and it keeps disconnecting from my Mac Mini. It just started doing it. I've put in fresh batteries and restarted the computer. I've got all the latest operating system software. Nothing is out of date. Every couple of minutes it just randomlly disconnects then reconnects and so on, over and over again. It's only about 2 feet away from my Mac Mini.
Anybody know what to do?
Thanks.
David

I thank you for your help, Ascendi, but I have no idea what you're saying. I'm guessing I stand alone, because others do understand. What I got from it was that the batteries don't fit snuggly, and to shove aluminum foil... somewhere. I'm don't have a PhD in battery terminal dimensions and their terminonolgy. But I do appreciate that you helped.
David / Flashkube2... EXACTLY! After years and years with my wonderful white Magic Mouse, just today the exact same thing started happening, only I was losing connection every 20 seconds. Half the time, I'd get it back. I feared it was a Bluetooth error, or a hacker was "stealing my juice" So I got online here, read this stuff, wiggled my batteries around (for years and years, I've only used Duracel), and for the last 10 minutes, I have kept connection with Mr. Mouse and Mr. Mac. Keep your fingers crossed!
So if this problem arises again, I just stuff aluminum foil in there? (I'll be a wee bit neater than "stuff"). Speak "positive terminal" and "negative terminal" and "top of the batteries" to me, because "depth of the recess" and "vernier caliper" are Chinese to me. Does "battery recess" mean how the two batteries sit in its casing?
Maybe I just didn't have enough coffee this morning. I'm not ususally shtooo-pid. (don't go there!)
