While all of that is still alien to me, I think this is an interesting and very helpful thread if it does indeed do what it says it does. Thanks for the link!

Can anyone confirm?

YES OPENING YOUR NAT DOES HELP. I POSTED THIS INFO 3 DAYS AGO AND NOBODY LISTENED. IT WILL SOLVE ALMOST ALL THE DAMN CONNECTION PROBLEMS.

Im yelling because I bumped that thread about 3 times, and I have to listen to people bitch at NRS, when the problem is on their end.

YOU NEED TO OPEN NAT and upnp. Otherwise it doesnt matter what the damn netcode is, a close Nat literally cuts off communication with the gaming servers. This applies to the XBOX as well. FUCK PPL!

that link shows instructions on how to do it in MW2, any info to do it without a game in there at all? I cant even get online with mk, it does nothing once it gets to 'connecting lobby'

You can open your NAT and upnp threw your computer, the game is irrelevant.

yeah i figured but how do you do it through the comp? did I miss it in the article?

I didnt read the article, I just know that its about opening nats. You open upnp in diferent ways depending on your router type. So google your router type and upnp youll find directions.

Someone hyper link this for me.

Yes he is right, but i dont have a router that can do/have UPnP whatever. Manually enter your settings as well( IE; DNS servers and gatway. ) subnet mass stays the same, for all users.

may someone hyperlink this for us as well? http://s1.zetaboards.com/dnbclan/topic/2999408/1/

Question,

I never have issues with online games, with all FPS games my NAT is open and on beat 'em ups like SFIV and SCIV I never experienced lag like I did on MK. When I do a connection test my NAT type is 2, should I still bother doing this? I spoke to a guy yesterday who has his PS3 in a DMZ and he still experiences lag.

Quick question

I use my EVO as my router but I dont use the program that is provided by my service provider so I dont know if I can do this can somebody help me? I use some program called wireless theter v 2.0.0.6 or semething like that NVM I figured it out
