Sorry, I will try the router, if it doesn't work, I will then repost again.

Ok, i changed out the router back to the old one, it seems to be working fine. Now, how do i get the new Netgear to work properly? It is a much better router, but seems to have an issue with the game. All the ports were set correctly and ip addresses. Is there something I missed?


It is a Netgear WGT624 v3


Oh, thanks Drakier for your assistance so far. I was pretty sure it couldn't be the router due to it being new and since I could stay logged in for days at a time, but only being booted when portalling.


I did test the belkin again, was able to portal recall 7 or 8 times with success. With the netgear if I was lucky 3 portal recalls before getting booted.

I think it's time to create a new thread with a new title .. like "Problem with Router" (!) .. so you can ingage the right folk in helping you out.


Yes, I seen the same problem as yours on a Netgear router I had. After a couple of months of trying to fix mine, I traded in for a new model to fix the problem.

The best thing to do in this case (based on that link) is to use ACDualClient and set the AutoPort to separate port ranges. Then match those ranges in your Router setup.


For example. You say you have 3 PCs. Lets call them Comp1, Comp2, and Comp3.


Comp1 has the following settings:

Static IP: 192.168.1.10

ACDC SPort: 9000

ACDC EPort: 9005

Router Port Forward: 9000-9009


Comp2 has the following settings:

Static IP: 192.168.1.11

ACDC SPort: 9010

ACDC EPort: 9015

Router Port Forward: 9010-9019


Comp3 has the following settings:

Static IP: 192.168.1.12

ACDC SPort: 9020

ACDC EPort: 9025

Router Port Forward: 9020-9029


These settings assume you want to have 2 clients running on each PC. ACDualClient is configured to use 5 ports per client. Since we only support 9000-9009, then you get 2 clients on that PC, same with 9010-9019 and 9020-9029


If you want to have 3 or more clients able to run on the same PC, then you'll need to adjust the port ranges, but at least this will give you an idea of how to do it.

I had the port forwarding set correctly, but for some reason, when I recalled somewhere I redlinked. Can't explain it, that is the only reason I figured it was a decal issue. Of course, I was incorrect. Still don't know why the router has this issue though. As long as I don't portal somewhere I was fine, but as soon as i died or portaled, redlinked.
