realtek download center doesnt always work and might just bring u to the home page but last night i looked on the site and updated the driver but it still didnt work so then i just did a repair with the downloaded driver and it doesnt seem to be doing it anymore, i hope it is fixed now, i will post again if it starts happening again, thanks ^^

Try port forwarding Warcraft 3 or COD 4 (I guess) and WoW.
Router = Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router with SpeedBooster WRT54GS

COD4

i dont get how port forwarding is going to do anything cause if its not the games then its something else, i mean there cant be something wrong with all the games

Mcninjaguy · 07-16-2009, 04:09 AM

I always had problems with my linksys router I had before.

Why not just try.

heyimjason · 07-16-2009, 02:34 PM

You're not going to get anywhere by not trying suggestions. I'd try reinstalling your NIC drivers simply because it's fast and easy, even though I doubt it's the problem.

But with a good technical problem, you need to be willing to try 20 different things, even if it takes a few hours. That's how problems are solved.

I still think you should call your ISP and have everything on that end checked (from a previous reply of mine).

Also, you should try port forwarding. For example - I use bittorrent a lot. If I don't port forward, it works. I can download and send and receive information. However, if I use port forwarding, the connections are completely stable and much faster. Just because you don't use port forwarding, it doesn't mean things won't go through - it means they won't go through well. And forwarding 2 or 3 ports for a few video games should take you about 1-2 minutes on a slow day.

You have 3 great suggestions right there, so give them a shot. It doesn't matter if you don't understand how it would work - you're getting good technical advice from computer geeks who are taking time out of their day to try to help ya out.

montiaro · 07-16-2009, 05:58 PM

lol ill try the port forwarding in a little bit am just a lil busy atm and i called my isp and they said there didnt seem to be anything out of normal or any connection interruptions and i already tried to reinstall the NIC drivers, and there might of been something i found out on the games but ill have to try it out before i post it

Mcninjaguy · 07-17-2009, 01:44 AM

Ok, thanks for trying at least. I know how such an issue can get on your nerves. I sometimes just want to punch my computer, but I really quickly think better of that rash idea.

Keep me informed.

montiaro · 07-18-2009, 06:11 PM

on the port forwarding do u have to put the name of the application or what they told me to on the site? if i have to put the name of the application do i use what it runs under in task manager or what the file is called?

Mcninjaguy · 07-18-2009, 06:18 PM

You can make up the name of what ever program you're using. For Warcraft 3, you can name it War1. The thing that matters most is that the port is forwarded onto your particular PC in your household.

montiaro · 07-18-2009, 06:18 PM

k if name doesnt matter am done and will post back if it happens again and if it does happen again it will happen within a hour or so

montiaro · 07-18-2009, 06:43 PM

didnt work its already doing it again

montiaro · 07-18-2009, 10:46 PM

i tried windows mode, full screen on all games with absolutely no antivirus and firewall and anything else still had the same thing

montiaro · 07-21-2009, 11:13 AM

bumps

heyimjason · 07-21-2009, 01:00 PM

Just to make sure - you found out which port needed to be forwarded from the game developer's website, right? Then you found out your computer's IP address given by the router, and had that port forwarded to your computer's IP, right?

Always helps to double check that part. Also, keep in mind that your computer's IP can change if you leave your machines off and turn them on in different order.

montiaro · 07-21-2009, 01:31 PM

yes thats exactly what the guide said to do and is set to static ip address

heyimjason · 07-21-2009, 07:14 PM

Hm. Not a port forwarding issue, and it's only happening on that one computer. How far is that computer from the router?

Try moving it really close to the router for a few hours and see if the problem keeps happening. May be a signal issue. While you're at it, double check that you're connected to your network and not someone else's.

I can't remember if you've tried - but if you haven't, try connecting this computer directly to the modem for a few hours (to see if it's an issue with the wireless adapter itself).

montiaro · 07-22-2009, 06:49 PM

i have tried direct connection, and the router is behind my computer desk which is connected to 3 computers i have mixed and matched the connections and have made fresh cables for my computer and have had all of them tested, the router is about 2 feet from all my computers, this is hard wired not wireless, nothing of mine is wireless
