Regnum may be causing problems with my DNS.

[Mattdoesrock]

Hello to anyone that can help,

Over the last day or two I've been getting constantly disconnected sometimes every hour, sometimes every 5 minutes.

What would happen is that I would get booted from the server because my internet had cut out. I would "diagnose and repair" and it would say that it cannot connect to the DNS server. I would then have to reset my network adapter for this to be sorted.

This pretty much only happen's when I'm on Regnum. I can be browsing the internet, doing whatever and my internet will be fine - but get on Regnum and my internet will disconnect like clockwork.

Thank's in advance to anyone that can help

A similar thing happened to me, yesterday I lost my car keys and one of my light bulbs died on me.

(there is an informative message underneath: cause != effect. Basically, DNS and Regnum are on two completely different levels -- the only thing Regnum can do is get your traffic throttled by your ISP because it uses too much bandwidth, but I doubt this is the problem. Most likely, you have a cheap quality router/modem which gets too hot when you are online for a long time and you get disconnected because of it. Once a connection is established there is no need for DNS, so the error message is likely to also be a consequence of the primary problem: connection shut down, either because of problems on the ISP side or because of problems your modem may have)

Hi Mattdoesrock,

As Magnet said, there must be a problem with your Router, but I don't leave aside the fact that your ISP could be confusing Regnum Online with a P2P application like Azureus, BitTorrent, eMule, Ares, etc. for using high ports. Maybe a double check on those two points would be a good start.

Regards.

Right.

Now I don't claim to be a computer wiz.. So to recap - Too much traffic / bandwight = dead router. Therefore a new router is in order?

As to the quality of my router, it says it's a "Linksys Wireless-G USB Network Adapter with Speedbooster v2" which doesn't mean alot to me, but I would guess that there are certainly alot better one's out there.

Many thanks to both of you

Only if your router is cheap Taiwanese electronics.

Thankyou Magnet, much appreciated.

So D-Link is, too. Actually, every piece of hardware that is popular and well sold is cheap Taiwanese electronics, but it doesn't mean it's crap.

I would go for the "ISP blocking ports" option. To check this, please call your ISP and run this test:

With the following ports:

- Protocol TCP: 48000, 48001, 47300, 80
- Protocol UDP: 9960
