I need a firewall, like iptables, or something of the sort..
- I need to know what the 3g IP range is please?
- Software do block them all, preferably on a Windows XP and not on the router.
I want to block 3g people from joining games I host, they ruin it.

That's not very nice you connectionist b*****d! :mad:

Hehehe, understandable... and what do I care, I use ADSL.
 
I think the easiest way way to accomplish this would be to use iptables - it's a pity you need this for Windows.

You may need to use a firewall such as Comodo Firewall and block the ranges (I am unsure of the 3G ranges specifically so I unfortunately can't help you in that department).
 
3g people lag. They ruin games by stopping the games (they lag and have a 60s period). Then they drop and change the team balance.
 
Some game servers can block players with a poor ping. That would be a better solution imo.

You'll have trouble blocking people on internetvpn imo.
 
3g has good pings but burst is not handled well, 2kbyte/s without losing any packets is very difficult, 3g is fine for downloading a 700mb file at a very fast speed, but not for something interactive.
