This whole RST thing that happens to many of us reminds me of the infamous Comcast Disconnections.
It's quite difficult to prevent.
Screamer ought to refund us our monies we paid for WoW...

Any update on this? Had quite a few DC's in dota today.

I haven't checked whether I am receiving the Resets but I assume that I am as:
- there are three machines on my network accessing Warcraft at times
- they disconnect and I don't
So time to install the filter on their machines although one uses Windows 7, hence my need to find a tcp filter for Windows 7.

ok - been logging the traffic and still seeing the RST messages.
Downloaded a firewall with packet filtering - going to give it a go on the other machines and will let you know.

Please let me know if you find something for Windows 7, I took a look but couldn't find anything decent.
I have added a rule on my dd-wrt router for now but would prefer having it on the local machine.

Howzit guys, any idea where I will find this kind of blocking in my Linksys WRT54GL ?

I have the WRT54GL running the DD-WRT firmware which is a linux based replacement for the Linksys firmware. I can SSH my router and add rules into the iptables based firewall.

Can you PM me the strings if possible ?

I can do but you will need to flash your router with the dd-wrt firmware first.

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport *x* --tcp-flags rst rst -j DROP
- where *x* is the port used by your application

Nice solution - my Belkin doesn't support dd-wrt so I will stick with wipfw for now.

what strings do you use in wipfw, I must say it is a 'light' firewall - does it do the job ??
Hi everyone
I play WoW and I have also been getting Disconnected very frequently up to a point where it wasn't worth playing anymore.......so this is what I did:
I created a linux virtual machine and set my windows7 machine's (my main system) gateway to the virtual machine's IP.
In my virtual machine I set the gateway address to connect through the router to the internet, I then run this script (used bits and pieces from sites):
iptables --flush
iptables --table nat --flush
iptables --delete-chain
iptables --table nat --delete-chain
iptables --append INPUT --in-interface eth0 -p tcp --tcp-flags RST,FIN RST,FIN -j DROP
iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --tcp-flags RST,FIN RST,FIN -j DROP
iptables --append OUTPUT -p tcp --tcp-flags RST,FIN RST,FIN -j DROP
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
So far, I have received a lot less disconnects so I can still play but alas, they are still there.
I don't know much about networks so if anyone has any other ideas please let me know as I've tried for days to solve this

Do we know if this work has been carried out? My stability is no better
I don't think so as I still see the resets but in general my connection is more stable to the point where it is usable if I filter the messages.
The real solution would be a public (static) IP that avoids network address translation but this is not available from Screamer atm
Still getting DC'ed too randomly and too often. I either have to cancel my WoW account or get another ISP
Telkom was a viable choice for me some time ago until the lines kept on getting stolen, I'll have to check with them to see if they have finally gotten used to the idea of laying the cables underground lol.

I had a senior tech come to my house and they also replaced my CPE, they remoted to my CPE and they found there is a faulty router on their side that is the cause of some of the disconnects. They should get a replacement for it soon. Thanks Niels for all the help there
