Metal Gear Online - Problem

Name: Anonymous 2008-06-24 19:55

Me and someone else are trying to play MGO on the same internet connection at the same time(We both play it on two different PS3s and two different accounts), but when we both want to play MGO and go to the same server or a different server, one or both of use gets disconnected. This happens periodically. Does anyone know what is wrong?

My guess is a badly thought-out anti-botting or anti-piracy measure.

Yeah I was thinking that, but we are using separate PS3, the official MGO game, and different user names. Also it's a console game and it plays on a disc not the HD. You could modify some patch content that are on the HD, but that would take some time to do and understanding how to do it would take some time as well.

Do you have only one public IP address? If so, probably both instances of MGO are trying to use the same incoming port(s) thereby confusing the shit out of your router.

We are both using different ports for MGO

It's probably because you're coming from the same IP and it could be registered on Sony's end as a potential attack. Do other games work fine?

Haven't really tried any other games, but I think i might of fixed it by changing my router from WPA to WEP

Why would you do that? WEP is an insanely easy crackable encryption method. I would keep WPA and look for a different answer. Unless, you like having your bandwidth stolen.

The cargo cult approach to networking doesn't work as often as you might expect.

Yeah I'll turn it back to WPA

This is so frustrating that this network stuff always screws up.........

And also does anyone know if enabling HTTP and HTTPS on a router good?

No that is a major security issue

That only matters if you intend to be administrating your router from the internet rather than the local network.
Please stop touching things you don't understand.

Well I understand what they do it's just when I've went to tech forums and other things like that they seemed to talk about enabling just one or the other on a router

>>14

Don't know...... You might want to contact Konami or something like that

``Tech'' forums are full of skiddies. See earlier commenting regarding cargo cult networking.

Don't change these.
