rocketman Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Almost every time I quit playing CMBB my WLAN stops working properly. The network card finds the access point, but cannot connect to it. Usually I have to re-start och re-boot the computer to start over. Very annoying. Any ideas how to counteract this problem? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schrullenhaft Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 There may be no solution to your problem... Do you run into this problem only when playing CMBB via TCP/IP or when you play it in any mode (solo, etc.) ? Have you checked for new drivers for your wireless card/adapter or for new firmware for your access point (assuming either one could have an effect on this problem) ? Which OS (I assume Windows) are you using ? I don't know what CMBB could be doing to the TCP/IP stack. Are you able to quit CMBB normally (Alt-Q, Exit button) or do you have to do something extra to end the program ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted September 7, 2005 Author Share Posted September 7, 2005 Thank you for your reply Schrullenhaft. I run into this problem almost all of the time after quitting CMBB (Alt-Q). I have not yet played via TCP/IP, but are there settings I should look into in any case. I run Windows XP Professional on a brand new Dell Inspiron 9300, and the CMBB program itself runs smoothly without any problems whatsoever. I will see if there are any firmware updates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 This is almost certainly a firewall messing with the TCP stack when TCP programs start or exit. Try deactivating whatever firewall you use. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted September 15, 2005 Author Share Posted September 15, 2005 I got help from Dell's tech support and the solution was to upgrade the firmware for the network card. Apparently what happened was that the IP number setting got reset after quitting CMBB. The network card had contact with the router, but since it had no IP number to connect to, it all failed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
