    Greetings all,

    Thank you for trying to help me.

    The trace would probably have helped to pinpoint the choke point, but I found a simpler solution that works (at least for now)

    I simply uninstalled the BR client of my partner and reinstalled it as SSN client from my CE DVDs.

    Should I encounter problems again, I will start to give out fixed IPs and all.

    Thank you again nevertheless.

I found that asigning each device that connects to my router it's own unique IP helps stop issues of each device trying to grab the same IP address. That was actually recommended by my ISP when I called them on a separate issue, and deciced to ask about it. We would have probalems with my husband's iPhone trying to grab the same IP as his PC, or my phone trying to grab his PC's IP, and it was chaos until we got it sorted. And it didn't matter if one device was wired and the other wireless.

That seemed like the most likely issue at hand. The traces were my way to get the evidence and give you that solution. Good job solving it and have fun ingame 🙂

      @GeltonTorr

      Tracerts and IPs wont be helpful, this will be NAT port (NATP) issue , what you have done will work just fine.
