Hello guys, I've been having a problem with L!nk and I really can't explain why. Here's a little story that should make you understand why I'm clueless on what else I could do to solve this issue: - I recently entered the RGH world together with my friend- we live very close by and our ping is very good- we signed up on JQE and tried to play via L!nk, but had a port problem- we both forwarded the ports (we also have the very same modem/router) and finally we could play just fine, also lag-free- my friend goes away for his holidays and when he comes back we cannot see each other's parties anymore and when we sometimes do, we can't join them (we get "connection to the host has been lost" in Gears3 and "disconnected - this game is no longer available" on L4D2, to name the famous ones) - neither of us did/changed anything, so... pretty weird- we go on JQE360.com and find out that passwords were deleted by accident, so we set them up again and boom, we were able to play again...- ... or at least we thought so... we tried to play again the day after we DID ACTUALLY play and we couldn't play anymore (same issue as before)- i said to myself "the only thing I have not tried is the avatar/kinect update, which my friend had already: so I did this one- nothing has changed- also, we are in the same room, and we see different amount of parties (at first I saw more than him, now I see less) and we could connect with a random dude's party and play (again, lag-free)- tried again playing our own thing, and nope, connection lost/disconnected.

Now, this is the situation: we both pass everything on the test (so ports 3071&3072 TCP&UDP, JQE, pingpatch and devlink), we have same dash, same FSD version, same dashlaunch version, same games versions, same TUs, both have avatar/kinect update, and... well, we actually played through link successfully already. Seems like we can connect to other guys and play in their games, but we can't play our own. 

I'm actually not angry at the problem itself, but only at the fact that It came out of nowhere, for no reason whatsoever and seems not to have a solution. Anyone has any suggestion for me? Thanks!

Put different ports foe each one. Example use the ports 8002, 8001 for you and 8003, 8004 for your first friend amd 3072, 3071 for your third friend etc. This should work.

I'm going to try that and report. Thanks for the advice ;)

EDIT: Nope, didn't work at all. Nothing has changed. I'm really losing faith here. I set ports 8001 and 8002 in L!nK settings, then opened them in the router and nothing has changed. I can't see my friend's parties but I see someone else's, but It doesn't matter 'cause I can't join 'em. So annoyed...Can I try anything else?

Turns out that my problem was actually the router. The one that my ISP gave me for free has some functions blocked (like DMZ and ICMP enabling, so basically I cannot be pinged). Tried with an old router my friend lent me, everything went as expected. Now I only have to wait 'til I can buy one. Even though I found out about this before you answered, I still have to thank you for taking time to solve my problem and for actually solving it (if I didn't find out by myself, this would've been the solution). Thanks!
