Lost connection to the server...

[Niky]

Well basically, after acquiring a completely new Wifi adapter and entirely reinstalling my windows along with the GTA I now face a new problem. When I log in to IMRP or any other server from the SA-MP list I'm able to play for about one good minute before my connection stops (?) and I get kicked from the server with the message "Lost connection to the server"..."Reconnecting". I've made sure it's not the network drivers or firewall/antivirus that blocks the connection. Pages such as this and others work just fine. After running the troubleshoot on the network I was issued with an error saying "The default gateway is not available", and upon running the fix it apparently "fixed" it, but that's only for web pages. I still have the same results whenever I log, I play for a minute and it reconnects going on in a loop. I can't figure out what's wrong since I have literally tried everything from flushing DNS/resetting netshp with cmd prompt to switching my internet supply on and off. Help plss

I believe the issue is that your router assigns the local IP to your old network card's MAC address, hence, when it tries to figure where the packets incoming from the outside need to go, it tries to look for the old address, eventually timing out and dropping the packets- - > packet loss increases - - > you lose connectivity to the server.

Try to login into your router configuration page by typing 192.168.0.1 in a browser and then reset the ip table / rules. After rebooting the router it should automatically ping all listening devices and assign the correct addresses.

I was facing same issue.. You will have to play with LAN cable or play with VPN. I am currently playing with VPN because of that -. -

Nah it's actually drivers issue. For example some particular manufacturers produce two different types of adapters but they classify their drivers online under the same name (eg. 802.11n USB Adapter). And if you're not properly informed and do not own the original copy of the drivers you will end up installing the wrong ones which in the end simply malfunction with your device. Happened to me eh, anw archive this. Piyush contact me on DC and I'll have a look for the drivers if u want
