Hey guys I have a question. When I try to play Battlefield Bad Company 2 on my ps3 I get disconnected after about 2 minutes of game play. I thought it was just PSN so I tried playing it on my PC and the same thing happens. I can play for about 2 mins then i get kicked out of the server back to the main menu. I can play all of my other game online just fine without any problems. I contacted EA and they said it's not their server (my buddy confirmed it because it is not having any issues playing) and told me to forward some port on my router. When i forwarded the port for Battlefield Bad Company 2 every computer in my house including my vontage device can not access the internet at all. It still has connectivity, but the internet does not work. When I remove the ports I forward all of my computers have access to the internet again. That is weird because that has never happened before. You guys have any tips on what I should do to be able to play Battlefield Bad Company 2. Oh when I set my PS3 to demilitarized zone, I am able to play for 15 minutes before it kicks me out of the server.

I have a DIR-655 and play BC2 all the time.  All I have ever done is make sure UPnP is enabled on the router and it handles everything, I have done NO port forwards of any kind.  Check to see if you have a UPnP setting and whether its enabled or not.

Yes I have UPNP enabled

Check out the Gaming and Gamefule sticky over on the DGL-4500 forum. The UI is different as you'll have QoS however you can use the data and will work for this router. Let us know if you need more help.

Did everything it says in the post and I still get kicked out of the game to the main menu after for playing 2 minutes

What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
What ISP Modem do you have? Stand Alone or built in router?
How are you connecting to the router? Wired or wireless?

Ensure DNS IP addresses are being filled in under Setup/Internet/Manual?
Turn off Advanced DNS Services if you have this option.
Turn on DNS Relay under Setup/Networking.
Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices on the router.
Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
Set Firewall settings to Endpoint Independent for TCP and UDP.

I have comcast with a stand alone modem, the router is not build into the modem. My PS3 and my desktop is connected to my router via Cat5. I check all of the settings you listed and they are all correct except it was not pulling the DSN i have to manually type it in. Before I typed it in I checked the status and the DNS servers were listed so I'm not to sure what that is about im testing it out now. I will let you know how it go

[usmarine0622]

It kicked me out again

[FurryNutz]

Is DNS relay enabled under Setup/Networking?
It should be pulling DNS automatically.
Let me know. Maybe we can Team Viewer and I can check your router for ya.

[usmarine0622]

yes DNS relay is set to enable

[FurryNutz]

And I presume that your PC is working well and not seeing any disconnects and such?

[usmarine0622]

that is correct the only problem I have is playing Battlefield Bad Company 2 all of my other games work just fine

[FurryNutz]

Really, interesting,
So you set up Gaming and Gamfuel rules?
What happens if you only use the gamefuel rules and temp disable Gaming rules?

[usmarine0622]

I had game fuel set up already, when I set up gaming rules I still get disconnected. If i try to forward the ports for Battlefield Bad Company 2 all of the computer and ps3 on my network can no long access the internet. Once i remove the port forward rules the internet is restored.

[FurryNutz]

Seems odd that the other games work but BF2 doesn't.
What happens if you disable Gamefule and keep Gaming rules enable?
