Sooo last night I tried to join a game for the first time in like a week. It sat there for like 2 minutes thinking about it, and in the meantime my internet stopped working. I was like, weird.

So today I just tried to play again, and the same thing happened. As soon as I try to load a game, my internet stops working (like, firefox too).

Help!

This is what it looks like when I click the "join game" tab:

This is what it looks like when I hit refresh after I pick a specific server to join:

Just a little clarification:

I have to actually turn off and then turn on Airport (i'm on a mac) to get internet back, even after I close Altitude.

As a side note, I ran that traceroute thing that was mentioned in another thread and I have also restarted my computer, to no avail.

Try this:

Open ~Altitude/config/options.xml in a text editor

On the line starting with <networkOptions, change:

maxConcurrentServerRequest="25" to maxConcurrentServerRequest="5"

That will reduce the server list retrieval speed, which may prevent your router from triggering "Denial of Service" protection (strange as it seems, some routers actually do this).

That worked, thank you very much!
