Title: Connection reject Games / Download Program etc.
Post by: Bundy on May 23, 2015, 07:07:38 AM: Hey guys! since 2 days i've got a new modem. Now i can't use Paintball 2 or other games for playing on public server. I don't know what's the problem. Someone had the same problem before? The provider send me this router cause we got a too old router. It's the same Connection (only new modem)

Routerdata: ZyXEL P-660HNU-T1

Post by: MON1TOR on May 23, 2015, 02:08:59 PM: Hmm.... interesting. Maybe it has a routerside firewall. Try to access the router's admin panel (usually 10.0.0.1 or 10.1.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1) and disable that firewall.

He is going to contact the support, hopy they can sort that out.

I would run tracert 8.8.8.8 and check where it gets stuck. (open cmd then type "tracert 8.8.8.8"

Windows tracert uses ICMP packets according to Wikipedia, so that wouldnt really help. We could receive answers to pings to paintball servers, so ICMP traffic was not blocked.

Really? Doesn't it use UDP? When UDP was blocked in my school Wi-Fi, i wasn't able to ping anything.
Quote from: Wikipedia
Traceroute, by default, sends a sequence of User Datagram Protocol (UDP) packets addressed to a destination host

/EDIT: ok you're right, the Windows tracert uses ICMP, linux uses UDP.
