unable/lose connection to servers

[SGT (Ret) Padgett]

For the past week I have been having a terrible time trying to connect to the servers. I can connect when there isn't anyone else in them, but when their are others I lose connection with a (no message for "X" seconds) or can't connect at all. Please offer your opinion on this. I have 60 Mb  down 15 Mb  up connection.

Are these any servers in general, or a specific one or two?

When you're joining, are you doing so when all others are? Example: Joining a Task Force server when everyone else is joining? I believe this has been an issue in the past, where when too many join at once, it kicks some people from that queue.

All 506th servers do this, and on last night's op I missed like 30 minutes of the beginning because I couldn't connect, so everyone had already connected.

You said you've had this problem for the past week. Has this issue been going on longer than that, or has it only started within this time frame? If it's only just started a week ago, have you made any known changes regarding your computer, router, or networking (equipment or service provider)?

Have you also checked your router/modem for any RPT files, or to see if it's been encountering any technical troubles?

it just randomly started happening, i never had this bad of a issue with trying to connect to the servers

[SGT (Ret) Padgett]

also no changes to pc and i have no idea how to check my router settings

[SSG (Ret) Atkinson]

It really sounds like a router issue to me. Firewall or something blocking connections once other people join the server.

I believe last night you kept getting the "Steam Ticket check failed".

Can you please find out your packet loss between your PC and Router and let us know? Here is a guide: http://www.techfleece.com/2011/03/10/how-to-check-for-packet-loss-between-your-router-and-computer-connection/

[SGT (Ret) Padgett]

Packet loss is 0%

Hmm. Strange. What kind of antivirus program are you currently using?

[SGT (Ret) Padgett]

im using Norton Internet Security, i tried completely turning off my fire wall and it didnt seem to help all that much. I also have Microsoft Security essentials

[R. F. Nelson]

Was the Norton install new (within this week-ish of trouble), or have you always had it? Have you installed any software around the period that you've been having trouble? Norton is notorious for being rather overbearing and likes to micromanage, even when you tell it not to. It's well been the bane of many computers, and has been known for more than it's fair share of networking woes.

In addition, have you tried to disable Norton (not that it will let you) and connecting to said servers?
