Andre Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 So here I have finally got internet back and able to play again but of course its crappy wireless. So anyway I get it all set up and now all I get is my line dropping every ten mins, anyone know what this is all about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montahg Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Be more specific as to how it's dropping? Are you getting kicked from the wireless router all together, or just from FL? Is there a password on the wireless router? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre Posted June 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 disconnected from the wireless, I dunno about password, never used wireless before aye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montahg Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 I would definately look into putting a password on the wireless. There could be any number of things that are kicking you off from the wireless. My first guess would be that for some reason it is resetting its router tables, requiring you to reconnect and get a new IP - and any number of things could cause that.

Hegemon Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 try port forwarding whatever port FL runs on to your IP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montahg Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 If the port was blocked, wouldn't that prevent him from connecting to FL at all? Plus, he doesn't just get booted from FL, he gets booted from the router itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hegemon Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Port Forwarding can help with some stubborn routers experiencing disconnects. Flashing the Firmware is also effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anoneemus Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Problems like this, in my experience, are usually related to the router. I've gone through several routers in the past few years. I'm not saying that's the most efficient way of fixing the problem, but it is the easiest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
