Yesterday I could play 10+ games online, such as FPS/RPG.
Now, when I start them up, they all say "cannot connect" or something such as "maintenance".

The game servers are not under maintenance..
This has happened to me a long time ago. I have to open a text file in system32 and delete some stuff like 120.0.0.1 or something.
I got a message this morning about "conflicting IP address" i dont know if that has anything to do with it..

I can get on youtube, any websites.. just no games..
HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Black, Welcome back to the forum!

What web browser are you using? Have you tried a different one to see if the problem persists?

I have marked this as open to gain the attention of one of our techs.

FireFox/Opera/IE..
The games are installed to my computer.. like Halo.

Nothing to do with my browsers, they work fine.

Im sorry black, it seems I initially mis-read your post!

One of our techs will be with you shortly.

Thank you for your patience

The ip conflict means the ip assigned to you is in use by another pc so you cant connect. You must have more than one pc if you do from a cmd prompt

ipconfig /all on each pc and note them down than check the properties for your pc one of them will be the same simply change the last number of the ip so it not the same.

You may find your pc has an ip total different to the others as its not be asigned due to the conflict

If all your pcs are using dhcp ie they dot have a static ip then type
ipconfig /release

then
ipconfig /renew

I was downloading at 30kb/ps. My ISP was demanding money. I guess it had something to do with that..
After I paid them, I am downloading back to 8mb/ps and the games work online.

I am just still baffled how I was still able to use my ISP to use websites.
(yes i was connected to them)
