Login Timeout Possible Fix

[MadmanMac]

After 30 days of Login Timeouts.........

 

hmm, ok, something interesting happened today, I noticed I have a VPN with my norton, so i thought faf it, lets give it a pop. Turned it on and it wouldn't run. Troubleshooting its error from the link I found out I needed to have Ipsec allowed,  logged into the router, bumbled around in the settings and yep, there it was, not enabled, sorted that and enabled something called PPTP also just for the hell of it. Tried logging into game and BAM, working.  Turned off VPN, tried game, login timeout, turned it back on, working ?   O course, VPN is now on and will stay on, lolz.

 

This would be especially relevant to anyone in Israel using the HOT box Router (SAGECOM F@ST 3184) as the Ipsec and PPTP are disabled by default and you will have to go into the router settings from your browser to enable them. (of course, assuming you have the Login Timeout issue, if not then don't mess with those settings, Oiy Vey)

I have no idea how effective this solution would be using other routers or other VPNs that are not Norton. One thing I didn't test, but will try later (too busy getting my actual first real look at DU atm) is disabling PPTP on the router and trying to connect to the game. I only enabled it cause it was there, it was disabled and I was in an enabling kinda mood. Good thing there was no Big Red Button there or I woulda smashed that too.

Anyhow, if this post helps just one person stop getting the *^%&(%$^*$)*&*)&&($^*%#&' ing Login Timeouts then I will be a man made whole.
