I was having the same problem, and was able to fix it by updating the bios for my asus m5a97 motherboard.

**edit**

Actually I recently (like 3 days ago) updated the bios for my motherboard, I saw that solution posted in the forums earlier and ya didn't solve my problem [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Because not everyone is as interested in helping people to play as we and the rest of the tech forum regulars are.

AC, i would seriously consider messing with your ports. Open everything within 500 in either direction of the port its trying to access through (its listed in your log)

It sounds very much like you are having a networking issue, and I'm going to keep attacking that until something sticks.

Do you have the latest drivers for *everything*? including your net card? also, are you running wireless or are you wired in? what kind of router/modem/isp do you have?

please list all hardware specs AND currently installed software (please do as best you can) for BOTH computers - the pc and the laptop. Also be sure to list what method they connect to the internet from (wired, wireless), also, do you have static computer IP's or are they randomly configured?

Hope we can get to the bottom of this..


Lyra, if you ever see me in game (char name same as forum name) send me a message, or pm me with your character name and I'll hit you up.

It'd be cool to bs with you a bit.

So I would have to put myself on a static IP correct? Hate doing that dynamic seems so much more secure to me, but I'll try. Which ports would those be exactly? I haven't had to forward ports to grant myself a connect before.

Yes I regularly update my drivers and this desktop was built from scratch so I made sure it had the latest drivers and software installed, I can see how that would prevent me from playing a game from another millennium :P ie. DOSBox. Also its a wired connection as a prefer the speed advantage and other obvious benefits.

I am using a two in one router/cable modem; SMCD3GN-RRR.

hmmm, it might be your NIC settings. Maybe looking at a packet dump when trying to connect to the servers would help.

This is over my head, but it reminded me of something I read while searching his error.

Either your router or one of your ISP's routers is filtering/redirecting packets for 1701/UDP, which is commonly used for L2TP VPNs.

Very much over my head too I can't imagine it would require me going that deeply into my network considering I can connect with any other computer in my house. Also I don't know how to do that without looking it up online.

At this point I'm gonna need some good step by step instructions, hoping it doesn't mess up my connection to anything else with anything else. :P
