linksys dsl router +quake3 problem!

[DecoY]

I seem to have problems running quake3 through the linksys dsl router. half-life and other games work fine

problem:
after a few mins of connecting to a quake3 server, it suddenly, out of nowhere, reconnects, loads up all the misc, then I get a message "connection interrupted" and "version needs to be updated"

then.. i took out the router and did a direct connect to my dsl modem. no problems.

Copied from your thread in Tech Support:

Is the Router set up to be a DHCP server or have you manually defined the IP addresses? Try manually specifying them and see if that helps.

If I remember right it sort of has to do with how quake 3 handles ports for each client. I have somewhat the same problem as well but I haven't really bothered to fix it. Seems like the problem only appears if someone is connecting to a server that is hooked up via the linksys router.

I tried flashing to the newest firmware and enabling DMZ host to the ip that plays quake3. Still no luck.

i had no probs when i had my linksys playing on servers...just probs hosting games...switched to netgear rt314 and no probs with either since.

Your DHCP license is expiring, and the switch is re-assigning the IP address of the client computer. you can disable DHCP and assign an IP to your computer and the problem should go away... it did for me...

ok thanks. . im a bit a newbie at this and the manual doesn't give clear directions on how to assign static ips to its clients. by chance got a tutorial ?

 

[DecoY]

nm!! I got it to work. Assigning static ips seems to do the trick. But one problem still remains. I can't connect to some of the ftps... anyone know a workaround ?

um.. i spoke too soon. I was able to play quake3 longer .. but i got the deadly disconnection
