Folks, I am not sure where to post this help request, since this is a gaming issue for me, I'll post here.
I have a DL-524 wireless router and I have my desktop plugged directly into it. I play Guild Wars quite often and anyone who plays that game knows what err-7 is, you basically get kicked from the game, this can be highly annoying when in the middle of missions/pvp etc. Now I have fixed this issue before, but my ISP was giving me grief and I did a hard reset on the router, now I have the same issue. What I thought I did was go into the firewall tab under advanced and what I think I need to do is allow traffic through port 6112 for WAN and LAN, WAN IP range being 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.100 This hasn't worked for me and I'm frustrated. Basically the internet 'stalls' on me for about 30 seconds, this includes my MSN messenger resetting and all internet activity is stopped.. it interupts any game I play and it's a problem. Can anybody help me with the best way to fix this?
This is what the firewall port trigger looks like:
