Just keep the other computers from being active and you dont disconnect ?

It seem the disconnects are back for me. All since this very last patch. Linksys router is working fine with the tips from this forum the first time. But now I constantly get dumped. I wish the DEV would look into this or the server operators. I won't be pay for a game I can't play.

You all talking about routers and ports thats bull. I been playing for two week with no problems everything was working great. One night I loged out and went to bed the next morning I log back in and bam every 5-10 minute it disconnects me. As soon as my free trial is over. On the very day they toke my 30 bucks. I for one wont my money back.

And Im using a Zyxel router if anyone cares.

sry to hear that, but have you tried these workarounds ? contacted support ?
yep, i know... everything was working for two weeks.

read first post again.
i assume you using somekind of modem before router... have you tried to plug your pc directly to it ? (you need to set up windows ofcourse and dont forget to use firewall if you do it).

btw, i'm running pc router and everything is working fine (those little boxes have very little ram, so they throw away old connections very fast)

Somehow I doubt the fact that your trial beig over has anything to do with it. Not like they flipped some switch as soon as they got your money so you'd suddenly have problems.

Remember these are computers. Things happen. Try the suggested fixes instead of blaming someone else.

Does this still work or has some of the Ryzom addresses changed??

As far as I can see, there's no Ryzom addresses listed. The ports listed somewhere in this thread look right to me though (but don't quote me on it).

Glad you got it fixed... but we are NOT normal, why should you be ? :P

One fix that doesn't seem to be well known for people that run 2 systems on the same game (not all games have this issue)...

If both systems have the same chipset on their network cards I have seen a few games crash on both connected systems. Sometimes within 5 mins, sometimes up to 15 mins.

I have ran multiple types of routers and seen D-Link and Lynsys routers to be most unforgiving in this situation (tho I don't see how the router might be a cause or have an effect on this).

THE FIX:

Get 1 network card that is completely different in one system than the other.
So if you run 2 lynksys network cards (one in each system of course) it might be worth while to invest in a different card for one of the systems, say a RealTek, or intel based one....and vice versa.

I kinda understand the reason for this issue, but will not throw out confusion into the mix as I just know it works and seen similiar fixes posted in other graphic intense games (ie lots of network traffic).

Another techie that has a grasp on this could explain it if they care to, but shrug...
