Hi i have been using renguard for ages now and never had a problem with it. in recent weeks tho i am getting the renguard window with a white screen and the message:

[21:00] Trying to connect to server #1...Connected
[21:00] Secure link established.

but that is it. i have not altered any settings and the problem is also occuring on my other computer connected through the same wireless router. I have added the ports:

TCP Ports
3840, 4005, 4808, 4810, 4995, 7000-7002
UDP Ports
1234-1237

to the router, but still nothing. The problem only seems to occur during 'peak' evening times (between 6pm ish and 10:30pm)

i was wondering if anyone else had had any similar problems or if anyone knows of a solution because its got beyond my capabilites Sad

thanks

Tryed port forwarding? I haven't used a router so I wouldn't exactly know it that would work. Razz

Also, have you installed any new firewall(s)?

Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.

You're not helping him by not reading his entire post and suggesting something he said he has already done.

thats for the replies, yes i have tried forwarding the ports but nothing happened. i have reason to believe it is Tiscali broadbands so called 'fair usage' policy (how you measure fair is clearly unknown) and apparently playing renegade is using the same amount of bandwidth as if i was constantly downloading torrents... yes, you read that right.

so im currently going down the whole complaints and breach of contract saga.

the morale to the story - AVOID TISCALI BROADBAND AT ALL COSTS!

p.s. any good ISPs out there that dont have this restriction?

cheers
