Connection Problem in game

Are you running a wireless connection with encryption? That'll screw up your pings.

If you are, change it so that it only allows specific computers on the network.

When i was having my problem i called my ISP.

It turned out to be an utter waste of my time as the guy on the phone had no clue what he was talking about.

I hope your ISP has more..... knowledgable tech support.

Oh another idea, you might want to try updating your router.

I had a problem where two comps on my little home network couldnt join the same server at the same time. I updated my router and it worked fine.

Just go to your routers website and look around there.

Hope it fixes your problem.

unfourtunetly, i already have the newest update/firmware for my router

.

It is working fine on the net, just whenever i get into ANY online game it lags out or just doesnt connect period. And you're right, my ISP guy isnt very knowledgeable either. he keeps telling me to do the same thing over and over (reboot router/modem) crap that i've already done a million times./

My computer is not wireless, nor is the connection to the internet wireless. I'm just hooked via cable to my wireless router. like this: Internet > Cable modem > Router > My computer

And all of my connection settings are normal. and seem normal, nothing seems out of whack.

this is very disconcerning. No luck yet with my ISP, they seem a bit incompetent. Telling me to reboot my modem again and again. I'm trying to fiddle around with some settings on my router, something about a virtual server? i'm trying to see if theres a special port that needs to opened up for gaming or something, i'm not sure. i'm running through the manuel now.

EDIT:

Well, I fiddled with the ports, not sure if i opened the right ones or not, but i looked at my connection settings and saw all the 'server's and IP' addresses and i opened the corosponding ports, it seemed to work, as i'm in game now with hardly NO lag at all. HOpefully i've fixed it and it'll work from now on
