I can't play mohaa anymore because of packetloss, this is my log (pfirewall.log) from my "Windows XP - Internet Connection Firewall"

this is just a part of it, the firewall log is very huge, the pfirewall.log is about 6 MB big...

and in MOHAA i typed in console: "showdrop 1" to see the packets it lost, i see on every server the same:

IP:PORT:Dropped a message fragment <-- i see this message about 20 times in console and a while later i see:

IP:PORT:Dropped 1 packets at 2

It keeps dropping the packets, i also tryed: cl_packetdup 1, to ask the server to resend the lost packets but that doesn't help at all, I tried to run MOHAA on my other pc, but i had the same problem there..

So my router is probably the problem, I have a VIGOR2200E, it has NAT (Network Address Translation), I also redirected the port 12204 from the router (192.168.1.1) to my PC (192.168.1.11) but that didn't helped at all...

My router is 1 year old and I played MOHAA without problems on it, i didn't changed any of the configurations...

Somebody got an idea to fix this?

Disable the Windows XP firewall. Your packets destined for 1.11 are making it through the first firewall but then are being dropped due to the XP firewall.
Leave p12204 forwarded to 1.11 and then drop the XP firewall. This should resolve the problem.

nope, that didn't help at all...

Well, I would definatly continue to run the game without the WinXP firewall. The hardware firewall should be enough.
Have you tried forwarding port 514 as well as 12204?
