You can't rejoin any server or just the server you were in?

Can you rejoin if you restart Defcon?

What kind of signal do you have (good at 54mbps or poor at 1mbps, etc)?

You tried to port forward on your router?

Says i have good signal, 56mps, I join a game an only if in it if i type or try to place someing it drops me an say High Latencey with soild red box in upper left.I read the troubleshooting idea an done everything but that last idea,or the router changes, i don't have access to my router its the cable companys..8^(

I connect fine on my old conntion, but it's gone Friday ,so trying to get the new connection working,I have the power but then it drops me like i don't an take more then 30 minutes it says to re-join

I'm still working at it, Sorry to the peep i dropped on, i warn them about it first

Thanks,
Clown

You should have some type of access to their router settings. It'd be crazy not to.

Just proporty setting, nothing like whats in the Troubleshoot ideas 8^(

Well, i guess it's come down to being on a secured server or not, There's no way for me to play Defcon now that my on-line connections secure. I can get in a game but if i tpye or place the game crashes an goes high lat.,There's no way i can fix it, thats just how my connection is.If i have to get everything disabled just to play one game, its not worth it plus all the un-secureness (Probly why the games a Hacker Haven). If there's a way to play on a secured server i'm all ears...I've bought this game at best buy Years an years ago but techknowledgies caught it an past it, They need to update the game again. If so there'd be alot more players then the regular group for more wars....

What do you mean by secured server?

There's no way for me to play Defcon now that my on-line connections secure.

You mean firewalls enabled? or some Router settings?

I can get in a game but if i tpye or place the game crashes an goes high lat.

Does it crash or show highlatency. Dont know how it can do both at the same time.

If i have to get everything disabled just to play one game, its not worth it plus all the un-secureness

Well you have to allow the game to communicate, this means proper settings for your firewall and router.

You changed your ISP and got a new router right? Before the game worked after it didnt. So obviously you need to configure your router in a way it works like your old router.

You need to allow in- and outgoing UDP packets on ports 5008-5011 and you need to tell your router to forward the incoming packets to your computer.
