WRT610N, Xbox Live, Moderen Warfare 2 and nothing but trouble !!

I have been having problems over the last few months with constant drop outs on Xbox live and now specifically MW2. I have tried every option I can think of in the settings (Xbox and Linksys WRT610N) but no luck. I thought I would share my story in hope that either I might be able to help someone with what I have learned so far or get lucky that someone might offer up a solution that I have not been able to work out yet.
Let the story begin ......
Issue: Can connect to Xbox Live but will drop me out of the middle of games (Halo, Live Arcade, etc), and especially MW2 only to bring me back into the same game with my score set back to 0 each time. This happens on every game and every mode. If I am the host of a game then it will boot everyone else out half way through the game, bring up a message that enimies are about to forfeit and then finally rejoin everyone with their scores all set back to 0.
Back Story:
Have tried 3 different routers (this one being the latest) the other was a top of the line Belkin and older Linksys model
Have power cycled and reset and restored factory defaults on all many times.
Have changed out the actual ethanet cables as well.....No luck
Have 2 Xbox's in the House and both produce the same results.
My Current Settings:10N
Product = WRT610N
ISP = Bellsouth
Xbox360 = Hardwired
NAT = Open
PPPoE
IP and DNS are both Manual........
Entered in matching DNS1 & DNS2 into Xbox settings
IP = Manual and sits with DMZ enabled and assigned the Xbox a manual IP address outside Router IP range at .200
Port Forwarding on for 88 & 53 Both (Tried UDP Only) ....53 & 3074 Both
MTU = 1452
Even added in specific Xbox Mac address into the Router page...no luck
Upnp: = Disabled......Tried it enabled as well
Went into QoS in the Application and Gaming section of the Router to try and priortize all the Xbox Live and MW2 advanced ports above and below.
Read on a forum post to try unchecking Filter Anonymous Internet Requests in the Security tab settings....no luck
Called Xbox Live support..............Went to 2nd level tech twice.
They said IW/Activision had given them specific port settings for MW2 that I could try. My intial thought was Houston we might have lift off:....Tried opening additional Ports based of 2nd Level Support:
3658 = UDP
3478 = UDP
3075 = UDP
443 = TCP
5223 =TCP
Unfortunately no luck !
Next I tried reading another million posts and forums to no avail.
Help please, please please

I finally got it to work 10 min ago !!!!!!!
Here is the issue so if others incounter the same problem you will have some potential options to explore.
Having 2 Xboxes going through the Linksys Router to Xbox live is the issue. This is what you need to do in your settings.
Make both Xbox IP's Automatic
DO NOT USE Port Forwarding.............You must enter these in Port Range Triggering:
Xbox Live port settings 80, 88, 53 & 3074
Same for Modern Warfare 2 ports = 3658, 3478, 3075 & 443
On the setup page enable Keep Alive: Redial Period = 180
MTU = 1364
Disable Home Network Defender
Enable Upnp
Disable DMZ
QoS = Enable Internet Access Priority and Add in the ports above and set to High
Add in the Mac addresses of the two Xboxes (you can find these in the advance network settings of you Xbox)
Hope this helps as I have been researching this fix for 2 months and spent 20+hours playing with settings to finally get this to work

4 MONTHS AND NOTHING BUT TROUBLE- NO SOLUTIONS ANY...

Joined BT in March 2011 -great almost 3mb (rural area) - stable at 2.4mb 1 week later .
Gradually got worse and erratic the last 6 weeks -dropped connection very slow -down to 855 -less than 1mb.
Over a week of constant call -all replied to by Indian call centre - they decided to tell me "there were lots of errors on my line " !?
Eventually today a BT engineer came out -checked everything -no errors !!!
Replaced the one socket i had with one with built in filters , changed connectors outside in 3 boxes on estate.
Told me i should be back up to almost 3mb as thats what it was round here .
Told to wait 4 hours for improvement .
7 hours later -NO IMPROVEMENT !
In fact its back to just over 1mb -SLOWER THAN BEFORE !
At my wits end and sick of being fobbed off and the Indian call centre -who are totally ignorant .
I rang them tonight -again said there were errors on my line and they would "FIX THEM !" AND RING ME BACK .
GUESS WHAT -THEY DIDNT !
4 MONTHS AND HAD ENOUGH - EVEN WORSE THAN TISCALI !!!!!- I was with them 8 years and had loads of problems -BUT didnt expect them with BT in 4 months !
I have no idea how to post these stat things -been doing BB checker tests at regular times and tried different tests .
All showing just over 1MB .
I got 1.5 with Tiscali !
Ready to leave already !!!!!!

in order to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or use a-z, if netgear enter 192.168.0.1) and run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems) http://speedtester.bt.com and post the results .
Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

I have been using XBOX Live for 3 months and recently the NAT has been set to Moderate and I need it to be open. I contacted Linksys via phone and said I need port numbers from Xbox Support but I can not contact XBOX via phone. The number I am using is 1 - 800 - 4MY-XBOX. My router motel is WRT 300N and using the 360 with Call of Duty 4 and Halo 3. Someone know how to fix the NAT setting to Open. Please make it easy to understand?? Very tried and thinking of swiching routers to anything different!!

SSRS Export to text and NOTHING BUT TEXT!

Is it possible to export a report to text only format? When I export my report to csv and then use the old DOS command to "type" the exported csv file there is a horrible little character at the beginning of the file.
I need to export just as text and nothing but text to drop the exported report into a 3rd party service which processes it. This squiggly little character is tripping the 3rd party system. I cant believe something so simple is not supported natively by SSRS?
I'm using SQL Server 2008 R2.

While having a perfectly running iTunes and all programs associated, I was notified of the iTunes 10.4 upgrade. After following typical directions, I have had nothing but trouble. First “iTunesHelper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 5)” occurred. Following directions found at https://discussions.apple.com/message/15087646#15087646, I now get the following “iTunes.exe - System Error The program can't start because AVFoundationCF.dll is still missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.”, Along with “iTunesHelper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)” I am running Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit on HP TouchSmart tx2-1275dx. I was one week away from buying an iPad but not if this is what I have to deal with. Please help

I actually managed to resolve this on my own by downloading iTunes from the Apple website and reinstalling iTunes that way. Here's the link: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ That should fix your problem. Good luck!

I downloaded firefox update had nothing but troubles since comp crashing how do i send my bookmarks from firefox to ie on this system

i downloaded firefox update, had nothing but troubles since, computer crashing when i try to open, or cursor lag for a long time ie. i try to move to do something it has to think about for 30 seconds to having to pushing reset to get anthing hapening
but still freezes up i put my comp into a very good repair store cost me $119 to only to find no problem with computer, they had it running ,burning , doing everything properly, but they were using ie, as soon as i stoped that and went to firefox, back to lag etc. com bluescreen then crashing when i got home twice so far tried using previous version in system same problem, how do i send my bookmarks from firefox to ie on this system, so i can completely uninstall then reistall a fresh earlier version

I have to agree, fixing something that was working fine and replacing it with the new crap has led me to switch browsers.BIG FAIL MOZILLA
Why do people do this shit.
Turn off updating to keep your good working version or you will be forced to use the new version that is missing some well used features.

PC Suite 6.83--Nothing But Trouble

I was sent 6.83 over the Internet and anxiously installed the program on Win XP Home SP2 computer. Instead, I have had nothing but trouble. Nokia told me it was a MS problem. MS said it was my computer's manufacuturer's problem (Dell). Dell said that I had to reformat my hard drive (and you know how long that takes!).
I've done all that and have been reloading programs, but PC Suite still doesn't work:
-sometimes the icon keep spinning endlessly and only stops when I restart the computer.
-sometimes it connects once, then not again.
-I have reinstalled it at least twice and now I can't get the program to uninstall.
Please help!

Thank you for the tip of using the last five digits of the message number.
However, this has not helped. I tried reloading an older version of PC Suite from the CD that I purchased with the cable as told byNokia tech support.
Again, I got the cable driver unloaded but not PC Suite.
Of interest is that when I click to uninstall PC Suite from the Add and Remove Programs site, the program which pops up is the new 6.83 version Installation program--not the uninstall program.
I am about ready to throw in the towel and go to my Pocket PC as my PIM and use the phone only on the 6682 until I can get a Windows Mobile Phone.
This has left a bad taste for me to Nokia and Symbian OS.

I have been having nothing but trouble with OS 10.6.8. Many of my appliatins will not work.. HOw can I revert back to a previous version of OS x?

I have been having nothing but trouble with OS 10.6.8. Many of my applications will not work.. HOw can I revert back to a previous version of OS x?

Before you revert anything try this:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
Next time don't post something like "nothing but trouble." Tell us exactly what the trouble is and provide any additional information such as error messages.

K9A2 Platinum - Nothing but Trouble!!!

OK, Well I purchased this board today, and from the off, I had constant blue screens, I fixed that by going into SafeMode (with networking enabled) and deleting 2 copys of the file 'AMDLLD64.SYS' from the system files after reading that this was causing the same issues for other people
and after that I have gotton into my OS fine, but on the odd occation I just get sudden freezes/crashes (the whole OS just pauses on my screen) and sometimes just goes to a black screen and restarts
and the extra software/utillities that come on the disc dont work properly!
I had previously owned an MSI board and even then I had nothing but trouble, but after the reviews I deceided to buy another MSI product, But after this, I believe that MSI pays off the reviewers to get a good review :(
If any of you know a good place to find a guide to loads of workarounds for this board then I will be more than greatful!
My setup is:
Windows Vista Ultimate x64
AMD phenom 9600 Black edition
Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4870
4GB DDR2 800MHz OCZ Platinum
MSI Platinum (K9A2)
Corsair TX750W PSU
ASUS Xonar D2 (PCI)

Put XP 32bit on it.
Vista (and special Vista 64bit) is the most unstable and crappy OS M$ has ever produced.
I have tried it on several machines, and never got it stable where XP runs like a charm with no bluescreens or lockups ever.
Vista did BSOD several times a day.
I've been using Vista x64 with my K9A2 P for months now--no blue screens, no problems whatsoever. Stable as a rock--wouldn't consider using anything else at the moment.
The fact that this file, AMDLLD64.SYS, was on his system indicates that he, like me, was running a dual-core Athlon prior to installing a Phenom quad core. I think this file is installed by the AMD dual-core optimizer software that you should *not* be running with a Phenom. He should uninstall the dual-core optimizer program. Better yet, he should do a fresh install of Vista x64 and start from scratch. That's what I did, and my problems went from a few to none at all as a result.
We get lazy sometimes when we update our hardware and we really don't want to do a fresh install and start from scratch. But sometimes it's not only desirable to do so, it's a necessity if you want a stable environment. Too many settings inside the OS are wrong for the new hardware and that causes the newer hardware problems. Best advice: do a fresh install of Vista x64--and *don't overclock anything*--at least until you get your system 100% stable, first.
That way, if overclocking is a problem you'll know exactly what causes it.

Been complaining about lag on xbox live for a year and Verizon is now ignoring me.

For the past year and a half I have been complaining to verizon about the horrible xbox live service I am getting. They keep telling me there is nothing wrong. I have tried four different routers(verizon and non-verizon with updated firmwares), tried both coax and ethernet, switched every ethernet line twice, played on a 5 foot cable in my garage, had my ont switched, and my fiber re-spliced. Verizon claims nothing is wrong and have tried to get me to stop complaining by telling me "fios is too fast for xbox because games are designed for high latency connections and because fios has no latency slower connections can't keep up so it feels laggy." I posted that response on a xbox gaming forum and promptly had 10 people tell me FIOS runs great on their xbox.
So obviously the problem lies beyond my network and verizon is doing nothing to fix it. I have had a technician come out at least six times and all they run is a speed test. I am getting the speed I am provisioned at but ALL my xbox live games are unplayable online. I believe the problem lies in the first public hop outside because when I run a line quality test,(https://secure.dslreports.com/pingtest) I get an error that says "50ms or more latency between your ip address and your first public internet hop could certainly be bettered with a quality connection"
Just to be sure it wasn't unique my house I walked around my neighborhood and found 2 open wifi networks that were on FIOS and ran the same test. Both of them came back with the same error as me and both had the same first hop as me. To make sure that error wasn't normal for FIOS users I asked those poeple on the xbox live forum to run the test and tell me the results. Every single one of them passed the first hop test and had nearly half the latency, (Here are a few of them) I supplied this information and now they are ignoring me.
Is there any mod or technician here that can provide me with contact information for someone who will look into and fix this problem for me? I believe I have provided significant proof that this problem is not in my network and calling an 800 number and opening a ticket does not help. I have been complaining for a year and a half and nothing has been done. I have lost practically all my xbox live friends because of this and would like to be able to play now that I have more free time. A phone number or email would be great. BTW I am in orange county, CA if that helps.
Thx

Having Trouble Connecting To Xbox Live using my router and wireless adapter.

Okay, so this is kinda long but I'll try and speed through. Recently I moved from my old place to a newer place (larger) and before, my old spot worked perfectly, no troubles. Now, eversince i got my internet cable service re-hooked up I've had problems. My internet is fine, that's not the problem. It's my xbox live for my 360. My cable guy pretty much set up my living room with the main router and not my studio office which I keep my 360 in. Instead he told me it would be much easier to just go out and buy a wireless adapter for my PC to recieve the signal from my living room off the main family computer. Well, went out and bought a $80.00 wireless adapter top of the line and it works perfectly, I get the internet really fast. Problem is, my 360 will not connect now. It always says DNS failed. Well here's the problem. I have a Linksys router in my studio office that sits on top of my PC that i have connected to the ethernet of my PC, then in the 2nd or 1st port i have my 360ethernet wire connected to my xbox360. Still it says DNS failed. Shouldn't my router be getting the signal from my Wireless adapter that it's receiving from the living room? It's connected through the same computer yet it doesnt connect. It finds my I address, and it finds the network adapter yet it always fails my DNS. I've tried evern switching the xbox360 ethernet to the main ethernet port on my pc and that just makes me fail the IP address test. I need help guys. My wireless adapter for the pc is a Belkin but my router is a linksys and not sure if the 360 just doesnt recognize it or not. Is there settings I'm missing or something? Please help!!!
The Burninator...

On your 360 if u getting an error msg DNS failed,you can login to your router setup page and go to status tab, not the Static DNS1 and DNS2 numbers and u can give a static dns to your 360. its will resolve ur issue.

3.1 firmware and nothing but problems

Since upgrading firmware to 3.1 i am having nothing but problems, battery life is now very poor and also it is taking 10 hours to charge phone from 0-100%. I am getting dropped calls and also call failed and hardly any 3g coverage at all even though i live in a big city. Is anyone else having the same problems and is 10 hours a long time to recharge an iphone?

Look at the recent posts and you'll see others are having similar problems. I suggest you restore as new, not from a backup and see how it runs when factory fresh, without any third party apps.

Constant crashing with FF13 and newest Flash. Tried reinstall of previous version; nothing but trouble

A few weeks ago, everything worked very nicely on my desktop computer. Then I succumbed to the nagging and "upgraded" to FF13, as well as the new Flash and Real players. Immediately, FF started crashing. First, it would instantly crash with any tab that had Flash embedded.
OK, I disabled and then finally uninstalled Flash and Real, but that didn't solve the problem; it would still crash 3 or 4 times a day, and with as few as 30 tabs open (the previous version could easily run 100+ tabs). Apart from those 3 "updates", the only other thing I had done was to update my existing plug-ins and add-ons, but I even tried disabling all of my plug-ins and add-ons; FF still kept crashing!
Today, I got fed up and uninstalled FF13 (after using MozBackup), and d/loaded and installed the previous version of FF. Did that solve the problem? Nope. Now, I can't get Tab Mix Plus to work, nor can I find my hundreds of old saved Sessions with Session Manager.
I tried uninstalling Tab Mix Plus and then reinstalling it, but I just get an error message saying it couldn't be installed. In fact, this is the THIRD time I've had to type this post, since the first time, I mistakenly tried to open a new tab to search Tab Mix Plus in Google, but the f{ck1ng tab opened Google right over this page, wiping out my almost finished post, and the second time, I went to Tools-->Options-->Manage Add-Ons-->Tab Mix Plus-->Options, and it froze up FF, requiring restarting it! Indeed, it seems as if the entire Manage Add-Ons menu is now buggy and generally freezes up.
I am *this*far*away* from ditching FF entirely (after 7 years of being loyal to it) and trying Chrome. It really is infuriating how difficult it is to get this straightened out! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried creating a new Firefox profile and testing whether that will run without crashes? This is a non-destructive test that creates a new settings folder. It picks up plugins from the registry, but otherwise looks like a fresh install.
If you haven't used the Profile Manager before, this article describes how to start up into it and create a new profile: [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]].
You can import your bookmarks by restoring a backup from your previous profile folder. For convenience of access, make a copy of your last bookmarks backup on the desktop. You can find that folder using Help > Troubleshooting Information > Show Folder; navigate up one level to view your last active profile, then into the bookmarkbackups folder. Copy the latest .json file to the desktop. Then in the dialog pictured in the article "[[Back up your bookmarks or move them to another computer]]", use Restore > Choose File to import that file into your new profile.
Can you get through a day without crashing?

B520 Nothing But Troubles!!!

Is a lenovo moderator even checking this forums? I don't see activities from days.
Anyway, My "NEW" lenovo B520 takes a long time to boot up, it get stuck at the lenovo splash screen for a long time, then it boots to windows, which then tell me a usb attached to the pc is not working proper.
There are not usb anything attached the to the pc. The usb ports on the left side always acted kind of funny since day 1
I think that is the hardware that is bad. Anyways I already restore windows, changed boot order and nothing works.
The computer is a bit over a month old, is there any recomendation? I really going to see If I can get a refund. But if someone has similar problem, is there any fix I can try? of course I already see is a hardware problem but I feel the need to ask anyway. Any person from lenovo reading this?
checking the device manager shows unknown device in usb and the display name in details is "Universal serial bus controllers"

as you have already done what i would i would return it and ask for a repair dont mess about with it, its not work correct and just ring them up and return it under warranty
