    Cannot Connect to any Online Game


    Hey,

    So I have recently gotten this problem where I cannot connect to any online game, I will get to the login screen and when I input my details it always comes up with an error like "Cannot connect to authentication server or Cannot connect to authorization server".

    The weird thing is I logged in and played Aion fine earlier today but when I tried to play recently came up with "Cannot connect to authorization server" no maintenance or updates at the moment, havn't changed anything since last time I played, tried with firewall and antivirus off (applies for other games as well).

    My computer is connected to a router which is connect to a modem (Needs to be like that because other members of the house need to use the internet. I found that when connecting directly to the modem Dragon Nest works but still no other games work which doesn't help me. Is there any option in the router settings that could be messing with the connections.

    Frankly I don't know what to do, as it is kind of pissing me off.
    Any help me appreciated.

    To me, it sounds more like an internet issue. Have you tried unplugging your router and modem for 30 seconds and then re-plugging it back in?

    Yeh I have tried that several times but the thing is I connected earlier today and played fine then later in the day when I tried again it just kept coming up with that error no matter what i did ie disable firewall/antivirus, turn off proxy, connect directly to modem etc although when I connect directly to modem I can connect to other games but when connected through router just the same for every game

    Thing is I could understand if it had maintenance or the server was down but doesn't have either and still f ing up.
