Re: Gamer Problems - IPs, Ports & Call of Duty
I have also not yet been able to find a solution. We restart our entire service before we play/stream, and as long as one of is is on a different platform, most of the time we can make it work. I'd say about 70/30% at this point. Still no actual help or solution - but only so much is telus's fault. It's the Activision spagetti-code and their network bs more than it's the ISP... but it is insane that such a simple fix exists and they are unwilling to help. Going to be getting some 3rd party hardware that can assist soon. They are just spendyyyy2.9KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Gamer Problems - IPs, Ports & Call of Duty
We didn't find a fix, but we did find a work-around. Basically, one of us has to play with our Xbox on wifi, and one of us has to play connected with an ethernet cable. We can't both be hard wired, or it doesn't work. We tried to assign different MAC addresses, and made sure the port forwarding was setup correctly but that did nothing. Additionally, Telus tech support was not able to help at all, zero, whatsoever. The guy on the phone literally didn't know a thing about any of that. I'm told that if you have a 3rd party gaming router of your own, that it wouldn't be a problem but apparently Telus doesn't let you have more than one IP assignment which is why the game thinks you're one person and the wifi thing works.

CoD does seem to be the only game impacted, judging by my google searches this has been a problem for a long time. Only thing I can see that has worked for people, is setting up static IPs and other things to distinguish two users devices - but that would require an aftermarket router that can have more than one IP. Telus support told me that they don't support that, and don't support static ones? We have tried: Him PC - Hardwired/w Ethernet & Me on Xbox, Wifi Him PC - Hardwired/w Ethernet, me on Xbox, Hardwired/w Ethernet Him Xbox - Wifi, me Xbox, Hardwired/w Ethernet Him Xbox - Wifi, me Xbox, Wifi Does not matter. Same result.4.7KViews0likes2CommentsGamer Problems - IPs, Ports & Call of Duty
Hey folks! I recently switched from Rogers/Shaw to Telus to get Fibre, I have the 1.5Gig plan and a brand new installed setup for Fiber. I don't know what they are called but, the one smaller square and one large main square installed on the wall, plus the tall monolith looking thing for Wifi. (Can you tell I have no idea about this? I've never had a problem before the switch.) Anyways - both myself and my boyfriend who live here are live-streamers who game, and we are now having problems when both trying to game at the same time, specifically while playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3. The internet tells me it's because we are on the same connection/IP - and suggests making sure specific ports are open, setting static IPs, and a bunch of other things but.... I keep being told I can't do that with telus, and need to purchase an aftermarket Router? It doesn't seem to matter if I am on Xbox and he is on PC, or also Xbox - one of us cannot log into the game, or if we do manage to log into the servers we cannot find any matches. Does anyone have any suggestions here?4.8KViews0likes8Comments
