2k2 connection issues suddenly

Post by raptorbacon »

Hi, a few of us have been having issues not seeing challenges in NBA 2k2 lately. Our connection health stays solid at poor. We have been playing with no issues are about 6 months and have DMZ enabled. Are there any technical difficulties going on? We read somewhere sometimes USB modems can die and need to be replaced? What do you think?

If you can't receive game invites then your dmz is not functioning correctly. Double check your dreamcast ip is dmzd. If its still not working try port forwarding instead.

Nba 2k2 is p2p beyond the lobby, any connection issues once a game begins is purely between your isp and your opponents isp. I'd recommend rebooting router and modem. Reset your dreampi as well.

When you connect make sure you connect at the max speed 33.6k as well.

I sent a message to shu to see if anything is up. As far as I know its all p2p beyond lobby. But I asked if resetting connection server would make any difference.

Just tested with raptorbacon a bit ago. Seemed like everything is working as expected :).
