Connection Problems Between Desktop and laptop

Postby SYSTEM_FAILURE » 20 Nov 2016, 01:05

Hi

Connection problems

I have a Desktop connected to my router via Ethernet cable at 16mb DL speed

I also have a laptop connected to the same router using wifi, it gets speeds of 6mb/14mbs

Each computer/laptop can connect to most players in FAF, be struggle to connect to each other. We basically cant play in teh same game together. Can anyone shed any light on what the issue could be. Hardware wise there are 2 relatively power PCS.

Please advise

Many thanks

Logs would probably help. Port forwarding, different ports?

i started getting the same upnp errors... then started using downlords client and everything worked.

Anyways try disabling upnp since you are forwarding the ports manually.

Back on the old client when it still worked properly I had a pc and a latop connect in my house with no problems. I had the forwarding setup for my laptop and did not change or forwarded nothing for the pc and it worked.

I know that is a super noob mistake, but you did not forget to set static IP for your PC and laptop. Just ckecking cause I made such mistake once before :)
