MultiPlayer Gaming Problem

amy

Hi,

I used to have an Internet connection with an automatic IP setting and a manual Proxy,
now after changing our ISP, I have manual IP and Proxy and two DNS numbers, but from that time, I can't play any game Online.

In Armagetron: it says Timed out, it send login information and then Timesout
In Battle for Wesnoth : Just try to connect to server without any ue
In Nexuiz : Lags when trying to see available servers ( This lag continued for 40 min.)

Is there something that i should do or a setting that i should change before playing these Games??

no ideas?

Try turning of IPv6

Code:
gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/aliases
Change the line quot;alias net-pf-10 ipv6quot; to quot;alias net-pf-10 offquot;. Save amp; reboot.
I looked up the Nexuiz master server, it seems to be dpmaster.deathmask.net

Does
Code:
dig dpmaster.deathmask.net
output something like

Code:
; lt;lt;gt;gt; DiG 9.3.4 lt;lt;gt;gt; dpmaster.deathmask.net
;; global options:  printcmd

Post the response if you still have trouble after disabling ipv6 and rebooting.

Yes, it gives me same output when trying to connect to nexuiz server from terminal.

But still Multiplayer feature doesn't work
Seems like the problem is that games don't use the network settings to connect to the server
