Disconnect after Teleport or Please wait...

Players with Windows XP SP2 seem to be having the D/C or crash problem after teleporting. Knowing that the teleport is instantaneous and that all the time spent waiting is for the new terrain to load, it became obvious that a player could sit there for 10-20 seconds with no network connection. Seems that SP2 firewall likes to close the open network ports. So the solution is to make sure the UDP 47851 port is in the firewall exceptions list.

Open Control Panel, select Windows Firewall. Click on the Exceptions tab. Click the Add Port button. Enter 47851 and select UDP. Click Okay.

Currently you will need to do this for all 10 ports in the range UDP 47851 to 47860.
