Hi everybody,
Sorry if this thread has been created before - I have searched around, but cannot seem to find a solution that works.
When I connect to any multiplayer server, whether via playWithSix, in-game browser, or command line parameter, I immediately lose connection to the internet. It appears local network is still fine (although not consistently so), mostly internet. All other devices on the local network still have an internet connection. Therefore, I think it is a problem with my router. However, this ONLY happens with Arma 3. I have tried disabling my firewall and anti-virus, to no avail.
The router I have is a Netgear WNDR3400.
The computer is connected over Wifi.
On the router, TCP and UDP ports 2302-2305 are forwarded to the correct IP address for the computer.
The firewall and antivirus on the computer is turned off (antivirus is Symantec Endpoint Protection). Oddly enough, when it IS on, I sporadically get the message that network traffic from svchost.exe was blocked. Don't know what service that could be...might be totally unrelated.
There appears to be no firewall options on the router, although I have disabled Port Scan and DoS protection (seems to be the solution for everyone else who has had this problem before, but not for me...).
NAT is open.
UPnP is on.
If there is any other information I have missed, I will be happy to provide it.
Thank you very much to anyone who knows what could possibly be going on...Arma 3 is a great game and I'd love to be able to play some multiplayer soon!
Cheers,
aspyrx
