Guild Wars 2

Addendum

“I don’t know if anyone has posted this fix yet, but I’ll post it again. I recently started having this happen. After looking around, I eventually found out the ports that GW2 uses and created an exception for them on my router. On mine, at least, there is no preset exception so I had to create one.
The ports needed are TCP 80, 443, 6112 and port 6600, leave the application type blank or default.
Go here to see how to do this on your router: http://portforward.com/
In the event that you are using a router such as mine, which is not listed on portforward, here’s how you make the exceptions on a 2Wire 3801HGV…
The following is on the router:
The address, 192.168.1.254, and the password, it’s 6 digits on mine.
1 Click on the “Settings” tab
2 Click on the “Firewall” sub-section
3 Click on the “Applications, Pinholes and DMZ” subsection
4 Scroll to the bottom and click on the second to last link, “Add a new user-defined
application
5 Type in the name for the exception, I suggest “Guild Wars 2” for easy reference
6 Leave the “Protocol” as “TCP”
7 Type 80 into both the “From” and “To” fields for the “Port (or Range)”, I’ll explain how to
add the other ports in a moment
8 Ignore all the other fields, including “Application Type”
9 Click the “Add to List” button. You will see the port info at the bottom under “Definition List”
10 Now the “Application Profile Name” field should be gone. Simply repeat steps 6-9 until all the above listed ports are in the “Definition List”
11 Click the “Back” button
12 Under the section “1) Select a computer”, find the computer you will be running GW2
on and click its name. If you are unsure of the machine’s name, you can go here:

13 Go to the scroll field labeled “Application List” and find Guild Wars 2 or whatever you
named the application exception and highlight it, then click the “Add” button next to
the field
14 For the sake of assurance and redundancy, after the page refreshes, scroll to the bottom and click the “Save” button.
You should be ready to play GW2 with no more 7 errors. Prior to doing this, I would be kicked within 5 minutes. So far(3 hours) no kicks, even when tabbed out of the game.”

Also, be sure to set your ip to a static or fixed address with this specific router.
