The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Cant connect to video games using Direct IP access using a linksys wireless router...

Asked by snowdog8029 in DSL Lines / Cable Internet

Tags: direct, ip, age, connect, game

Experts,

This is my first question so all i have is 130 points and i its all yours if you can help me out.

I recently bought a Linksys wireless-b broadband router model befw11s4. I also bought a 2nd computer the same day. Now both computers are hooked up and working. I can get on the net with both computers and download with both and connect to other game site like battle.net.

Now here is my Problem, My friend and I like to play games such as ghost recon, age of mythology. We usually play by way of direct ip connection and I usually connect to his computer cause he has a static IP address and my ISP makes me have a dynamic IP address.

Ever since I bought my wireless system I can not connect to any games using direct IP connections. I have contacted linksys a few times on this and its like they are reading from a book in front of them cause they all use the same solutions and none of them work.

Now when I disconnect the my computer from router and connect it directly to the cable modem everthing works just fine, but it doesnt solve my problem.

Just incase, My system specs are......

(Computer #1) Windows XP, 768 MB of ram, 1.8 GHZ intel, Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network, Nividia geforce 4 128MB TI4200.

(Computer #2) Windows XP, 512 MB of ram, 2.6 GHZ intel, Linksys Wireless-b ethernet card, Nividia geforce 4 MX 440 64MB

Well thats my problem hope some one can help. By the way all my drivers and firmware are up to date.
