High Latency Problem

Spilled · May 15, 2006, 11:35 PM

Hi everyone,

Me and my brother are having a hard time playing warcraft II online together. We keep getting the 'High Latency' error. I know this is because we are on the same network. Does anyone out there know a solution to this? The router we have is a DI-604 if that information is needed.

Thanks in advance everyone!

I tried what that website said and still getting the error...

If it helps I am 192.168.0.101 and my brother is 192.168.0.25

Here is a screen shot that i created each port and how I did it.....

As you can see I made each one for me (192.168.0.101), is that how I was suppose to do this?

Thanks in advance!

It's not nice to post BMPs. Convert it to a PNG next time. If you're using Windows XP, MSPaint supports resaving as a PNG.

Sorry about that Kp. here is a new screenshot

Me: 192.168.0.101
My Brother: 192.168.0.25

Don't know that matters but there you go.

You do realize that .25 is probably a static IP and .101, the one you're forwarding to, is probably dynamic? Try changing them all to .25 or get a static IP - it makes no sense to forward to a dynamic IP.

? I'm lost on what you are saying? If i go to my brothers computer and type ipconfig /all the ip adress is 192.168.0.25 and if I do it on myne i get 192.168.0.101

So if im wrong plz correct me so i can find the solution. Thanks in advance.

Oh...I forgot PortForward explains static IPs in the most crappy manner ever...

Then again, I can't really explain how to get one either.

Can't you just forward to the .25, your brothers?

Spilled · May 17, 2006, 08:56 PM

I changed all of them from .101 to .25 and it still didn't work. Why dont you contact me via AIM

raylu · May 19, 2006, 07:01 PM

Heh, because I never get on AIM.

When you tried it, was your brother still on .25? Who was hosting?

Spilled · May 19, 2006, 10:14 PM

yes his static ip is 192.168.0.25, That never changes. I tried him hosting and me hosting but still no luck. Maybe when u have some spare time perhaps u can log on aim for a few minutes and help me? that would be appreciated. Thanks raylu

Sorry about the double post but after doing some research the reason i believe the port forwarding is not working correctly is that i have a dynamic ip address. Would I have to contact my ISP to switch to a static ip address and would this cost money? Would anyone know a tutorial for switching to static ip address perferably to go with my router? Thanks in advance!

Dynamic LAN address, not dynamic WAN.

Any suggestions on how to get this to work tho?
