Multiplayer: connection losses

[oxmox 73]

I have sometimes problems with my connection on multiplayer servers. During gameplay i suddenly loose connection and I have no clue what is the reason here. This happens often several times in a game session.

I did notice in the chat lines that other players are loosing connections aswell...is there any solution for this ?

edit: i did open the ports for the multiplayer server in my router, lets see how that works now.

One possibility is that your ADSL connection is unstable. If you can access your modems web interface, it will probably have a page showing how many ADSL disconnections you have. Check to see if this number increases after you lose contact with a server.

You may find RouterStats useful (http://www.vwlowen.co.uk/internet/files.htm). It is a program that allows you to scrape data from your Modem's info page and display it as a graph. Very handy for spotting ADSL problems.

Thx, i need to watch the next days how that works with the ports open. Dont think i have a internet problem since i dont have any issues with other games so far.

This is also happening to a friend of mine. If you guys find what it might be, let us know here. Thanks!

Alright i did find the reason for my problem...there was a mismatch with the IP settings. I wonder why i could play Arma2 with it aswell browsing the internet lol.

I do use a static IP setting without DHCP and for that I did open the ports, first I did choose the PC IP i.e. 192.168.0.22 like it is suggested in the router guides and thats how I did it always for other games aswell...mmmh ?? but when I change it to the Router IP i.e. 192.168.0.1 i dont get problems and the connection is also a lot faster to arma server. Iam a bit unsure what is going on here until then i just play without port forwarding.
