Ok i need to know how exactly im supposed to setup my router because i have a problem. My problem is when i play warrock on both pcs at the same time they both disconnect at the same time after about 5 mins of play but the internet still stays on it the router doesnt lose connection i think it has a problem with the IP address or something same thing happens when i play Fear Combat on both pcs but when we surf the net everything is ok. So how can i fix these disconnection problems while playing games?

I think it's you connection.

The difference between gameing and web browsing is that connection requirements. A game requires a constant stream of data between the client and the server. If the client gets disconnected from the server for too long (remember, this is in micro-seconds) the game will loose contact and ultimately disconect.

With web browsing, the web browser only has connection with a server when it makes a data request. Meaning, you'll never really notice an Internet "Hic-up" when browsing the web. When the web browser makes a request, if it doesn't recieve a response with data soon, it will send another request to the server. At this point, though, the Internet "Hic-up" will be gone, and unoticable.

What type of Internet Connection do you have? (DSL, Cable, Microwave, Satelite)

You might want to try contacting your cable provider for assistance in this matter.

However, one thing to try before you do so woulb be to conect one of the computers into the modem directly (disconecting the router) and checking to see if you have constant Internet access while playing you multiplayer games.

Then and only then should you contact you ISP if you keep finding yourself getting disconnected.

It works fine when 1 pc is playing but not 2.
