Unable to join online games with 10.5.1, 2 or 3.
So, basically I have a problem as well as some of the other friends I have. The problem is that I'm rarely able to join certain users of the game that I play online on gameranger called " Age of Empires II." This problem hasn't bothered me until lately, because usually it's always me that hosts the game (which works fine by the way) However, when I jump over to a game room that I'm not hosting, I am able to join the actual Pre-game room, but then once the host presses "Start" I get the "Unable to Join game" message. And before you ask, IP joining does not work either. I have a few other friends with the exact same problem, same OS, same issue. I've been told that this has to do with the settings in my router, well, I don't have a router, just a modem. I've called my ISP and they have said that the modem is set (by default) to not block any connections going in or out. I have my firewall tab set to "allow all incoming connections" as well. I'll say right now that there are actually a few select hosts that I can join with, only a few, and when I talk to them, they say they have a 10.5 OS and I can join their game just fine. So if I figure out what they did to enable me to join them, then it should work the other way around. So my question is, what did those few hosts do to their computer to make it so I could join?
No firewall on, the firewall tab in my security pane is set to "allow all incoming connections" is there another firewall that I need to worry about?

After update 6.0.1 I am unable to conduct online banking with wifi on. I can with 3G and wifi off. Same with iPad or my iPhone 4. Any suggestions?
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

WRT160N V2 I can't online Game with friends on Wii
I am able to connect online and get online when I play my wii but anytime I try to online game with a friend it disconnects and I recieve the nintendo error code 86070. I have worked through all the possible options through nintendo with no luck. I need someone to give me step by step instructions on how to correct this issue. Everyone is convinced I need to change some properties on my router but I am not sure how to do that. The instructions all need to apply to a MAC computer. Thank you please please help...I am about to throw this router out the window.
You need to do port forwarding on your router...
Open an Internet Explorer browser page.In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
Click on "Applications and Gaming" tab and then click on "Port Range Forwarding" subtab...
1) On the first line in Application box type in ABC, in the start box type in the port number and End box type in the same port number entered in the start box, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box...click save settings...
NOTE : Port Number should be obtained from nintendo...
Follow the same step if you have multiple port numbers...Set the IP address for the ports to forward to the same as the Wii's static IP that you assigned in the previous step on this page. -
Best way to build an online game with chat functionality
i need to build an online game like the ones on yahoo with chat functionality.
do i need to invent my own protocol for communicating between the client applet and the server application or i can use a higher level protocol like rmi or jaxm.
as far as i know the problems with rmi would be
1. there would be no way for server application to send messages to clients without signing my code.
2. rmi would not run on browsers with older versions of jre. though clients can install latest versions, but i don't want that.
would there be similar issues with jaxm or jms.
do i need to invent my own protocol. what benefits would udp bring than tcp/ip.
is there some higher level protocol which would take care of network problems on the internet. what about performance. what would happen if the connection between the client and server breaks down. how do i know of that.Implement a multi-threaded multi-client/multi-server strcuture.
Each client-server channel is used for a specific operation
such as one for the gamming data, and another for the chat relay.
These channels will be controled by the application (game) and so
can update the chat text and game data at the same time without
the game having to read a file that is being writen by another
IO stream comming from the server.
I have not done this and I dont plan to, but in deisgn it should work. -
Hello! Is flash media interactive server able to help me
build an online multiplayer game with chat between players?
And if it's the right choice, how many users can be online at
one time (on the chat and in private games) and do i need multiple
servers for a large number of users? And if i do really need a more
than 1 server, how the balancing between servers will be made?
Thanks alot!
DanDifferent users have different browsers with different jvms, and they sit behind different firewalls. To send messages from the server to an unsigned client applet you could use polling or piggybacking.

Unable to purchase Application/Games with gift card.
Hello, recently I purchased a 20$ gift card for itunes with the intent to buy applications and games for my Ipod touch 8g. But, when I tried to buy super monkey ball I entered my account information and then I entered it again, But this time it took me to a billing info page. There was no payment type option for "Gift Card" so I selected the option 'none'. After I clicked done, all it did was bring me to the page I was at previously, and nothing happened. No money was charged to my account or anything, I even tried it on my Ipod touch's wi-fi and a message came up saying 'You need a method of payment to purchas thise item. Go to the itunes store on your computer and update your info'. I know for a fact that I had 20$ in my account but for some reason I just can't buy any apps or games. I hope this isn't a decision apple made to shut out gift card users from buying applications and games for some reason.
Only thing you can do is contact iTS support and ask for a refund.
Or ask some Canadian gov't consumer place why it's this way and why it changed?
Anyway use the Contact Us button here
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/giftcard/
That page doesn't mention buying apps, so I don't think Apple is deliberately misleading...maybe when v7.7 was released and games are now listed under applications, some Canadian cross-border law for software went into effect. I know when I used to ship software to Canada in a previous life, it took way longer to clear customs than other packages.
What did it say on the actual gift card?
*+What can I buy with an iTunes Gift Card or iTunes Gift Certificate?+*
+iTunes Gift Cards and iTunes Gift Certificates can be used to purchase music, videos, TV shows, and audio books from the iTunes Store. At this time, iTunes Gift Cards and iTunes Gift Certificates are not accepted for online Apple Store purchases.+ -
It didn't crash, it would not open. Internet expl0rer would open but could not get online. I was connected to the wifi but the program could not find any webpages. Now I am back online with 3.5 and will not update again unless you can give me answers. I'm tired of blowing hours on this kind of crap.

Unable to join my network with mcaffe firwall
i have mcaffe and i know that is the wirefall that blocked my connection. I don't know what to touch to fix it! Thanks
I am confused. You say you can't connect/join network because of the Mcaffe firewall. That would only prevent connecting if your computer was hardwired to your router and you configured your computer to act like a wifi hot spot. Is the the case? The normal configuration is to use a wifi router.

Hello, I was hoping someone might have some advice for me. I recently installed an Audigy 2 ZS and have been unable to play any games with EAX enabled since (including the ones that came in my Gamer bundle). About 30 seconds after starting up the game i start getting horrible high pitched noises from my speakers and the game will act visually like its a skipping DVD(lagging hard?). The noises and skipping come in waves begginning about 0 seconds apart and progessi'vely getting worse so that 2 minutes later its just all lag and sounds like someone chiseling at a chalkboard. All problems seem to go away once i have disabled EAX in the game consoles. I have run the creative updater and gotten all the newest drivers, i have tried physically moving the card to the PCI slots at either end of the stack, i've tried seemingly every combination of settings within the MediaSource panels, just for fun i even tried different speakers. i've run out of ideas and dont know what to do.
please help
Win XP Pro SP2
2.6GHz P4 400MHz FSB
G RDRAM
ATI RADEON 9800Pro 28
Audigy2 ZS
Logitech Z-5500 5. speakersok, nevermind that last post. Ive managed to get unique IRQs assigned for all devices (took some re-arranging and the discarding of a few non-essential PCI cards) but the problem remains. Also, this was probably totally unnecessary because apparently part of complying with the PCI 2. protocol (which this card says it does) is being able to share ICQs.
Also, I have tried as many of the options in that knowledge base article as i could (some of the BIOS options mentioned are not present on my system, etc) but the problem still persists. -
when I try to purchase items on my online game I can no longer buy them.For some reason firefox stops the payment options from showing.I choose what I want to buy but when it comes to paying for it thats when nothing happens.No payment option is offered.All that is there is what I have picked to buy.Before it would offer payment options when I had picked what I wanted to purchase but this no longer happens and no payment options are given.It is left like that until I stop and just leave.I would like to know why it now does this?
I got offered firefox beta and installed it.That is when it started doing this.I have cleared my cache,browser and history then restarted firefox a number of times now and still the problem persists.Can you please assist me please to somehow put it right back to the way it was before.Thank you for your time.You can try to (re)install the current Firefox 17.0.1 release if it isn't working with the current Firefox 18 beta

I am unable to join my existing wireless network with new AirPort Express
I am unable to join my existing wireless network with new AirPort Express.
I am using a DLink DI-524 Router, Windows 7 (64), and the AirPort Express.
AirPort Utility will not recognize the AEX wirelessly, it will only recognize it when it is connected by Ethernet. I can then configure the AEX and verify that the settings stick once disconnected and then reconnected. However, even after that, it will not recognize the AEX once disconnected from the Ethernet cable.
I followed the suggestions of several other threads on these forums. But I am unable to get the AEX to work.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.Welcome to the discussion area!
It's almost always a security setting that causes problems when the Airport Express (AX) tries to join a third party wireless network. The AX usually does not "join" correctly and that's why you can't see it on your wireless network using AirPort Utility.
Using an ethernet cable is still the more reliable way to configure and adjust the AX, but if you are want to try to configure it using wireless, you must return the AX back to factory defaults as follows:
Power down the AX
Hold in the reset button +and keep holding it in+ as you plug the AX back in to power
Release the reset button after 10 seconds
When it is set to factory defaults, the AX broadcasts a wireless signal with a network name like "apple network xxxxxx" where the "x's" are either letters or numbers. You must look for this network by clicking on the fan shaped Airport icon at the top of the screen. If you don't see this network, then click Join Other Network to search that way. Unless you connect to this network, you will not be able to configure the AX using wireless.
Do you know the exact security type that your D-Link router is using? That is the key element in the process.
Open AirPort utility, click Manual Setup
Click the Base Station tab to establish a name for the AX, device password and adjust time zone settings
Click the Wireless tab
Wireless Mode....Join a wireless network
Wireless Network Name...must exactly match your D-Link wireless network name
Enable ethernet clients if you want the port to be active (your D-Link must be compatible with ProxySTA for this to work)
Wireless Security...exact setting of the D-Link network. WEP security causes a lot of issues. Try to use WPA/WPA2 Personal, which is far more secure.
Wireless Password...must match the D-Link network
Click the Music icon to enable AirTunes
Click Update to save settings
Any luck? -

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Another Iphone topic with unable to join network
Yes, I have reset the iphone and router
Yes, I have unsecured the network and was able to join, but once I secured it...I get the unable to join
Yes, I have updated the firmware and cycled the power on my WRT54GS
Yes, I have tried lower case letter in the password
Yes, I have created a static IP and entered the information
Yes, the security on the WRT54GS is WPA
Yes, I have check to see if the wireless channel was in 1 or 11
Anything else??Dingle, I currently share your problem; however... I was able to login to networks ONCE. The first time. The phone was new (just got it a few days ago), and I joined the network at work, and one in another office. Happy connects. Successful connects. Never again though. Now I get the 'unable to join network error' consistently when I try to join these very same networks. I have reset my network settings. Turned off 3G capabilities (since it's another thing that I've noticed changed since those few early days of new phone, that is, I noticed 3G receptivity is on all the time now with high bars, although when I first got the phone I got ATT, E, the dot, and 3G... they all took turns). The error remains. I wonder if it's an app that I may have installed. I also just connected the phone to my Mac for the first time, but that was post 'unable to join network' error. webapp?? Could it be a memory issue? I don't even know how to refresh cache (or if one even exists).
