Online connections problems

[Hardcore chicken]

When ever i want to join a game on ETW it gives me a message say "Error Failed to join game:No response from host" any help? or does ETW just do this?

[Hardcore chicken]

this is for online by the way

Are you using a router or a modem?

[Hardcore chicken]

it wireless but i dont know if it modem or router i think its a router

[karamazovmm]

you have to connect the pc directly to the modem, avoiding the router (it provides you with wireless)

yer then i have a router i will ask my dad when he gets home. do any of you know the problem for my connection promblem?

[irishron]

A lot of it has to do with internet protocol cersions not being compatible. Most router versions have proven not to be backward compatible.

[Hardcore chicken]

so what can i do?

[irishron]

Plug it directly into the dsl modem port on your computer. There is one built into the motherboards anymore.

[Hardcore chicken]

i actually have both router and a modem

[Hardcore chicken]

i have a laptop in the kitchen which is the only one able to run ETW and theres not much room in the office is there any other way ?

[Hardcore chicken]

it a router modem which doesnt mean anything to me it comes through from wireless apparently

[irishron]

Wireless is beyond me. With all the cb and ham radios in my neighborhood, I couldn't use it, anyway.
