Discussion Internet is fine but online games constantly disconnect

[nebadk07]

Hey, I'm totally puzzled on why this problem is happening to me i recently got a new pc about a month ago but a couple days ago this problem just started happening. im not sure what the problem is i've tried everything from updating all drivers fo resetting ip and flushing dns (sorry not really computer savvy). If anyone has ran into this problem before or may have an idea of what is happening your help is much appreciated. I can try to provide whatever information is needed to solving the problem. Thank you

Some things to try.

• Disable your computers firewall.
• Set DNS servers for your network connection. I prefer Google (Primary 8.8.8.8; Secondary 8.8.4.4) OpenDNS also gets a lot of mention for gaming (Primary 208.67.222.22; Secondary 208.67.220.220). This can get around issues with your ISPs DNS. Depending on your ISP this can also significantly speed up web browsing. If it does you may want to do the same with your router. So your whole network benefits from better DNS servers by default.

Open up command prompt and ping google.com using the -t command. Ping continuously for 10 minutes or more. If you get any request timeouts, your ISP is having issues.
