Probelem with Router and City of Heroes EU
This a dupe of a thread I started in the CoH section, thought i would open it up to this area of the site in an attempt to 'widen the net'.
Im turning to the MMORPG.com community for help with this issue, as the official 'help' just seems content to email me 'cut and paste' replies that have very little relavence to my specific problem.
Myself and my son play MMO's together, via 2 PC's and a router (Sweex RO002) attached to my Virgin Media set-top box. We both thought of returning to CoX to test out the recent content changes and got ourselves a couple of trial accounts.
With both machines fired up through the router we find we cannot 'zone' any of our characters, log in -YES, select a char - YES. Actually play? - NO.
If i take the router out of the equation and hook up one machine direct, all works well. So the problem as i see it, is the router. Using one machine only I have forwarded the ports required by CoH, still no joy. I then used the DMZ route (allowing all traffic to the one computer), still no result.
We have played EQ, EQ2, DDO and LoTRO all with the same machines and router without a single problem.
What the hell is going on?
Any help/advice would be appreciated!

Sounds like an issue with the netcoding. Its completely Cryptics issue to fix. If your running in DMZ mode, you should not have anything blocking your PC connecting to the game. The issue probably arose from them trying to implement non-dual clienting.
my wife and I are having the same issue with AOC. We never had this problem with any other game, but the router takes a dump everytime both of us log in. If i play by myself and my wife is in the internet it totally bogs down her connection.
