First of all I would like to say that I cannot guarantee that this will work for you, because I dont know what problems your computer have, but anyway, you can try, and easily revert changes if it doesnt help. I had random DC's while other players didnt, so maybe this help someone.
What you will have to do:
I - Change registry
II - Disable services
III - Change Local security policies
IV - Configure OS firewall
You will have to create .reg and .bat files on your own, DL link is removed so guide could be published.
I - Change registry
Copy text to notepad > Save as > Name.reg > run it
[Activate_fix]_Registry.reg
To revert changes use:Code:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa]
"restrictanonymous"=dword:00000002
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Browser\Parameters]
"MaintainServerList"="No"
[Deactivate_fix]_Registry.reg
Code:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa]
"LMCompatibilityLevel"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Browser\Parameters]
"MaintainServerList"="Auto"
More info:
II - Disable servicesCode:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/147706
Copy text to notepad > Save as > Name.bat > run it
[Activate_fix]_Services.bat
To revert changes use:Code:sc stop "AeLookupSvc"
sc config "AeLookupSvc" start= disabled
sc stop "WinHttpAutoProxySvc"
sc config "WinHttpAutoProxySvc" start= disabled
sc stop "gupdate"
sc config "gupdate" start= disabled
sc stop "gupdatem"
sc config "gupdatem" start= disabled
[Deactivate_fix]_Services.bat
III - Change Local security policiesCode:sc stop "AeLookupSvc"
sc stop "WinHttpAutoProxySvc"
sc stop "gupdate"
sc stop "gupdatem"
sc config "AeLookupSvc" start= delayed-auto
sc config "WinHttpAutoProxySvc" start= delayed-auto
sc config "gupdate" start= delayed-auto
sc config "gupdatem" start= delayed-auto
sc start "AeLookupSvc"
sc start "WinHttpAutoProxySvc"
sc start "gupdate"
sc start "gupdatem"
Before changing anything, write down current setting, so you can revert it if you would like so.
IV - Configure OS firewallCode:Start > Run > secpol.msc
Local Policies > Security options >
Network access: Let everyone permissions apply to anonymous login = Disabled
Network security: Allow locas system to use computer identity for ntlm = Disabled
Network security: Restrict NTLM: Audit Incoming NTLM traffic = Enable auditing for all
Network security: Restrict NTLM: Audit NTLM authentification on this domain = Disable
Network security: Restrict NTLM: Incoming NTLM traffic = Deny all
Network security: Restrict NTLM: NTLM authentification on this domain = Enable
Network security: Restrict NTLM: Outgoing NTLM traffic = Deny all
Simply follow guide on this page:
Make sure you did all steps.Code:http://us.battle.net/support/en/article/unable-to-connect-using-a-firewall-router-or-proxy
This guide is for Operating system firewall, you might need to configure your modem and/or router too.
You will have to search google how to do that, since there are a lot of modem/router models, I cannot provide you tutorial how to do it.
Now restart your computer and see are there any changes.
Please say thanks if my guide helped you, to keep this thread alive. Thanks.
