Router problems with online gaming

Hi,
I have problems with online gaming. My router is Linksys wrt54g2 and modem is ZTE ZXDSL 831AII and with two computers. I can't play any onlines game for example Counter-Strike 1.6 or Counter-Strike: Source. When I'm trying to connect in those games servers when it loads too bars I'm geting error that says: "Connection failed after 4 retries". Also I can't play StrongHold, Combat Arms and Battlefield2. I try to bypassing my router by connecting computer directly to my modem and games works. What I should do? Please help me.

Do you have problems with web browsing or other online applications? If not, the problem may lie with the games themselves. It's possible the games require ports to be forwarded to work correctly. Check the game documentation and see if this is the case.

Disconnection problems with online gaming - world ...

Other users on BT have alos reoported issues with game hangs and diconnection issues with World of Tanks.
They seem to have started a few days ago. Someitme it is intermittant other times it can last for several minutes.

Having the same issue since yesterday 6th September 2012.
World of Tank client keeps disconecting, then has issues logging back in to the client.
This seems to be hapening to a lot of other players in the UK all on BT
http://forum.worldoftanks.eu/index.php?/topic/149124-lag-and-disconnection/
BT had the same problem with World of Warcraft recently, something to do with a BT peering issue. I can only hope this problem is sorted soon.
No other internet activity is affected.

Problem with Online Gaming

I play a game called Command and Conquer Genrals Zero Hour it will play perfectly fine with 11 ping, then it will suddenly lag out. The Interent does go off or anything it just says disconnected form the game. Any ideas? I have UpNp enabled.

You say it's peer to peer, could it be that when you start the game you may have started it during a time when p2p is unrestricted and then as time goes on the p2p restrictions come into play causing you problems?
Search for glasnost test and run that, this will tell you if p2p is restricted or not but be warned you will have to run this at different times of the day as BT's restrictions changes during the day.
If you are on an unlimited pack but signed up before February you will need to "recontract" to one of the new unlimited packs to get unrestricted p2p.

Probs with online gaming due to subnet or IP addresses

When I first hooked up my router I had probs with Network Magic connections.
Now that I have it running better... I seem to be having a problem when gaming
online.
My boyfriend and I have hooked up our pc's together and have tried gaming online
together... and it worked for a couple of days. But with having some D-Link router
probs... we reconnected everything.
Now I recall seeing two different subnet numbers for each of us before we redid
the D-Link... now they are the same...
So I am wondering if this problem is router related or does it lie with Network
Magic? All I know is... that when I try to get on a multiplayer gaming server
I get kicked by Punkbuster saying: 'PB GUID AUTH: UNKNOWN'.
I think our online gaming predictament is due to my boyfriend and my subnet
numbers now being the same. (unlike before).
(If my prob does not relate to my router and Network Magic... than I thought
of putting in a Punkbuster Ticket to evenbalance.com)
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. : )
Note: my firewall is configed to allow online gaming, so I know that's not the
prob.

Connection problems with online games

I have been having problems with all of online games while using the wireless WRT100 router. I am having problems connecting with all the players... Some players I can connect with, but some I can't. I think it might have something to do with a firewall or opening ports. Can someone please help me with this.

are you palying computer games, or using gaming device like XBOX PS3 etc. Which games do you play? Did you try updating firmware?

D-Link Router Problem with new MacBook Pro

I have had my new MacBook Pro for less than one month and I have had weak home Internet connections ever since. I use a D-Link DI 624 revC wireless router that I bought back in February. I have it connected to a cable modem. I used to have an iBook and the D-Link worked great.
Now the airport signal never shows full strength. The signal is sporatic by showing three bars and then suddenly dropping to one or two. Just loading a web page will cause the signal strength to suddenly drop or lose connection altogether. I used to have full Internet access throughout the house. Now the wireless works only in two rooms.
Tactics that I have tried so far:
-Switched channels from 6 to 1 or 11
-Setting channel switching to auto
-Reset and rebooted
-Restore to factory settings
-Disabling SSID
-Allowing only 802.11g
-Moved the router to a different location
-Checked for possible interference
I know that it is probably my router as my Internet connections seem to fine at other places. I do not know why I would suddenly have these problems with a more powerful notebook.
I am not a network pro so I will be very grateful for any suggestions.

OK ... all those answers add up.
I bought back in February
Have you updated the Firmware in the Router, a new version (2.75) was released 7/5/2006 that says:
¤ Fixed Security Issues.
¤ Improved Performance

How to upgrade
You could also improve the power of the signal/extend the range with an extra antenna like this

Linksys router, problems with SNMP

Hello,
We have several Linksys RVL200 routers out in the field. They work fine except now we want to enable SNMP to monitor bandwidth usage with PRTG Network Monitor. I’m having a problem with a few of these getting SNMP to work properly.
I’ve configured all the devices exactly the same, however some of them will not display the Ethernet sensors to monitor bandwidth properly.
I believe we have the latest firmware installed (v1.1.7).
I’ve done some onsite testing with an SNMP tester and the results are the same.
Do you have any suggestions on how I can proceed?
Thank you,
John

Do you have problems with web browsing or other online applications? If not, the problem may lie with the games themselves. It's possible the games require ports to be forwarded to work correctly. Check the game documentation and see if this is the case.

Please Help with online gaming problem. Please.

Hi. I am new to this website and I searched in the faqs but did not get much help. How do I play Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings with my cousin through online DirectPlay while the router is connected to my DSL modem? My cousin lives 9 to 10 blocks away from me and we usually use to play the game online through DirectPlay but ever since I got the router, he cannot enter my game any more. We don't play through a website or anything similar.
Please Can someone help me.
Info
Computer: Windows XP Service Pack 2
Router: WRT54G Version.8
AT&T Yahoo DSL Modem
Thank you for your time.

This type of problem usually happens w/ DSL. On your PC lets try doing these steps. Open up Internet Explorer. On the address bar, just type the numbers 192.168.1.1 (username just leave it blank, password as default is admin). This should lead you to a linksys page. Go to status. On the status page, what is the Internet IP Address as listed there?

Basic Questions on ActionTec MI424-WR Router - problems with poor download/upload speed

First, I will get to the point and ask my questions, then will explain what's happening - I'm interested in hearing whether the right actions are being taken to solve my problem.
1) After perusing the forums, I see frequent reference to the "Rev" version of the ActionTec MI424-WR Router. How do you find the Rev version? I have logged into the Router and in the "System Monitoring" icon, the Router Status lists my Hardware version as 'A'. Does this mean I have Rev 'A'?
2) What is Verizon handing out these days for Routers? Mine is being replaced, and I am wondering what to expect. I have Verizon FIOS Phone, TV, and Internet service, and have the 25/25 Internet service. Will they give me another MI424-WR? If so, what Rev level are they likely to give me?
Here's why my router is being replaced - opinions/comments/advice welcomed.
For the past year or two, I've consistently measured (via speedtest.speakeasy.net) about 30Mbs download, and around 22-25 Upload. Lately, I noticed that my downloads were quite slow, so I tested my speed at the above website, which I had not done in many months. I measured only about 2-3 Download and 1-2 up. Note all of what I am discussing hear takes place with hard-wired ethernet, NOT wireless.
I tried testing from multiple computers, running XP, Vista, and Windows 7. All getting consistently similar poor speeds. I verified my account still is supposed to have 25/25/ service, which I verified online.
Tried rebooting the router, no change. Then tried hard reset (pushing in the recessed button, holding it for about 20-30 seconds. After it reconnected to the Internet, I tested speed again. No change.
Interestingly, I tested wireless speed on the laptop I have. Speed is MUCH better, around 15 down, and 10-12 up.
I tried the speed optimization tool on two of my PCs, it made no improvement. Finally, got into an online chat with a Verizon Tech. He did some tests on the line, we repeated some of the things I already tried, and then he asked how old my Router was...I am pretty sure it is the original one I received when I first signed up for FIOS, around 5-6 years ago, which is one of the reasons I asked how to tell which rev level I had. So the tech concluded the problem was probably my Router.
I TEND to agree, especially because I recently had an "anomaly" on my network. My son complained one day that Internet was down. When I got home, I found out my NetGear Gigbit switch was dead, and two of my hard-wired ethernet network printers could no longer talk to the network. I replaced the switch, so now I am thinking perhaps the Router was damaged somehow. I have no idea what the cause of this anomaly was - everything that connects to my network was plugged into Triplite ISOBAR surge protectors, but that only protects AC power.
I would think a hardware failure would completely kill the ethernet portion of the router, not simply reduce speed, but I could be wrong. Anyone been through something similar to this before? I expect to receive the new Router next Thursday, so hopefully I should know by then, but still - what should the next steps be if the new router does not fix the problem?
Thanks for any comments, insight or shared experiences you might be willing to share...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This is embarrassing.
Smith6612, you are absolutely correct, and you nailed it!
When all this mess started, I checked my Verizon account to make sure I was signed up for 25/25 Internet. I was.
I don't know what has happened, but after reading Smith6612's response, I went back to recheck my account. I was set up for 15/5! So, the speedtest measurements I have been getting the last couple of days are exactly what I should be getting. Two possibilities:
1) My Triple-Play bundle must have expired in the past two weeks by coincidence.
2) The Verizon tech may have changed my account profile when I worked with them online last week, although this was never discussed.
At any rate, Smith6612 wins the prize. It certainly explains the download/upload speeds I am getting. I have logged into Verizon and signed up for a new bundle. According to their website, my new profile should take effect Tuesday 1/10, so after that point, I should be measuring 25/25 again.
Thanks to all who responded to this thread. I will update this thread to confirm after Tuesday. I get nervous whenever I have to change anything with Verizon - although everything has worked fine for the past few years, we have so many services with them - Cell Phone, TV, Internet, and Home Phone, that I worry something will go wrong with the billing, but we'll see.

Trouble with online gaming

Hi,
I recently got BT Infinity installed and now I'm having trouble with the Playstation Network (PSN). I get a couple of games of multiplayer and then get kicked out. This happens every 15 - 20 minutes. I get the error code 8002AD23 or 8002AD36. I don't know what they mean. This never happened with my last ISP and it's getting pretty frustrating. Has anyone else experienced this problem and was there any solution. Everything else is fine

Hi, did you set a static IP before putting your PS3 into DMZ?
You probably did but just checking. Is UPnP enabled or disabled?
I had exactly the same problem, kicked me from PSN after 15 mins without fail whilst playing online. I wasn't with BT then but the company I was with were really helpful. They configured a new router for me at their base in the end and then sent it to me. Worked like a dream after that. As far as I know they just set a static IP and forwarded the ports. Have you tried port forwarding or did you just put your PS3 in DMZ via a PC in the routers settings which will open all the ports so in theory it should work.

[SOLVED] Routing problems with ssh server and openvpn client

My current setup is an arch box behind my wireless router. My wireless router is running scripts to update the dynamic dns for my internet connection and forwarding incoming requests to port 22 on the arch box. Simple so far.
Now I'd like to setup OpenVPN on the arch box to connect to a 3rd party vpn service but still listen for ssh connections. This way I can have my arch box always connected to the vpn but be able to access it from anywhere. I believe the problem is that openvpn sets up a default route to send all outgoing traffic out over the tunnel, but I don't know enough about routing to make this work. I saw another solution in the forum was running virtualbox and I find that so inelegant. I'm planning on eventually learning more about ip route and iptables but I was also hoping that a networking guru could help me get this set up quickly in the meantime.
ip route while not connected to vpn
default via 192.168.1.1 dev eth0 metric 202
192.168.1.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.11 metric 202
ip route while connected to vpn
0.0.0.0/1 via 10.120.62.9 dev tun0

10.120.62.1 via 10.120.62.9 dev tun0

First, meop, thanks for your reply. I did not use that method to solve the issue, but I'm going to do some more research into it (I'll speak to why I went another direction after the solution).
My solution so far has come from this resource http://forum.linode.com/viewtopic.php?t=8737
Since my server is behind a router, I do not have to worry about the public IP address changing and I was able to use the private IP in the route statements. Therefore, in my case, the solution was these three lines:
ip rule add from 192.168.1.11 table 128
ip route add table 128 to 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth0
ip route add table 128 default via 192.168.1.1
Keep in mind, as the article states, that applies to all ports (not just ssh). If you want to block other traffic, you need some extra iptables entries.
This also solves my end goal: Being able to connect to this 3rd party VPN with a simple ssh redirect from my always connected server. I can now ssh -D <port> <myhost>, set up chrome to use <port> as a proxy, and have everything redirecting over this VPN connection without any hassle.
meop, this setup is connecting to a 3rd party VPN service and they provided the config scripts for the client. I considered tinkering with that, but found this solution to work and I'm going to do some more reading about each solution to figure out which is the best overall.
enovak, I grepped dmesg and did not see any entries about martian source.
Now another question that comes to mind: What if this server were actually NOT behind a firewall and it's public IP changed? I think you'd somehow have to have a script to check to see if your Dynamic IP address changed and also have a route that only that script would use (send everything else out the VPN route). Then, if your IP address changed, you'd have to change these routes around. I'll leave that solution to someone else :-)

WRT54GC Wireless router problem with iPod touch and Ipad

Hi
I have a WRT54GC wireless router and both my ipod touch and ipad can connect to the network. They can both use the internet for like one minute and then the internet becomes very slow, and dies. Network connections are lost and I'm getting messages like 'can't connect to itunes' or 'lost connection with youtube'. The wireless router works fine for the laptops in the house (all windows). In the house where I live in the week (closer to my school) there is another router and i don't have the problem over there, also no problem to connect to my schools wireless network... So I think it's a combination problem of apple products and that router. I've tried a lot, like resetting network configuration, updating firmware, changing from wpa to wep1,... Anyone an idea?
Thank you
Bert

oh and the connection to the router isn't lost.
Thank you

Problem with 970 Gaming Motherboard?

I am fairly certain that this motherboard (970 Gaming) is quite "broken" There are quite a few complain on this forum and i believe they are experiencing the same problem as i am. When i boot up my pc, sometimes it wont display image, so i need to keep resetting. Also, sometimes PC just randomly shuts off, no matter if im under load or not. This MB is quite new so i guess its kind of expected. Do you think it could possibly the BIOS?
CPU: fx8350 stock speed
GPU: XFX r9 280x stock speed
MOBO: MSI 970 Gaming
HDD: 1TB Seagate
SSD: Corsair 128GB LX
PSU: EVGA 850w Bronze

Is the RAM matched kit (i.e. 2x4gb) or single modules (i.e. 2x 1x4gb) ?
Try with minimal setup: single RAM stick, no GPU, only keyboard and mouse connected, only HDD/SSD with OS on it and best if the motherboard is outside of the case.

Having problem with online video, problem only in firefox

I had an update to Firefox recently, and since then online videos (expect for some reason YouTube) are no longer working, so BBC iPlayer is not working, and other random ones you come across on various websites.
I have updated Flash, and Firefox, even reset Firefox, but still they are not working.
I get a "This content doesn't seem to be working" message, on iPlayer and similar on the other websites, its not iPlayer itself, as it works for me on IE.
Dont know what is going on with my Firefox TBH, because some of my ad-ons have stopped working recently, and its to the point where I might as well be using IE.

the plug in are not missing, they load, but the content itself does not play, just says that the content does not seem to be working, which is not the case in other browsers. Plugins are also update to date, I did mention that I updated flash, and nothing I can see which looks like it maybe causing a conflict.
Add ons are not the problem, as the reset has uninstall those anyways, and half of them were not working before hand anyways.
I have also done a system restore, which has not fixed it, as I have had an error with Office 2013.
