Recently my computer haven't been able to connect to gaming/Internet browser servers like: League of legends, Steam, Hearthstone, Aqworlds, etc, Facebook and Hotmail works fine, I can download things from the browsers but not with Utorrent probably because it's using servers...
When i go on my parents computers and try to login on the browser gaming servers that wont work either so I'm pretty sure that there is a problem with our Wi-Fi. Servers work at my friends house miles away. i can play just fine there login to servers and everything. I have allready tryd restarting my router but it diden't work. Thanks in advance for solutions! : )

When you go to Facebook, Hotmail or virtually anything else, and you "log in", you are connecting to a server....There may be something in your firewall or router that is blocking TCP ports 6881 - 6999 so that Torrent Client/Server connections are not possible.

Any firewall in use (whether hardware like a router, or software like Windows or AVG), by default blocks a lot of ports that would need to be manually configured to be allowed.
Required Ports:
Each of these ports must be forwarded for League of Legends to operate properly.
5000 - 5500 UDP - League of Legends Game Client
8393 - 8400 TCP - Patcher and Maestro
2099 TCP - PVP.Net
5223 TCP - PVP.Net
5222 TCP - PVP.Net
80 TCP - HTTP Connections
443 TCP - HTTPS Connections
8088 Spectator Mode
Not sure if the ports are configured correctly? Try this:
1) Go to http://www.ismyportblocked.com/?pc=lol
2) Click on Start Test
3) Wait for the test to complete. It can take up to half an hour, so please be patient
4) Check the test result - it should tell you if the correct ports are open or not.

Try turning off the firewall on the PC first, and run the tests. If it passes, you know that the firewalls on the PC are causing the problem (you will need to configure each of the TCP port addresses in the firewall to let it through). Often, this is the easiest fix. Try this:
1) Uninstall the program - then turn on the firewall.
2) Install the program again - it should ask you to let the program "through" the firewall.
If it doesn't work, there should be an online manual to your modem (Google the modem make and model). There should be a web page that tells you how to disable these ports from being blocked by your router.
90% of the time, the PC is to blame - I have upgraded my anti-virus software before and it blocked access to games....

At first I was home, and at that time the Connection errors were there. I packed my computer and went to my friends house. And as I have said Before it works fine there no Connection failures or anything like that and when I go back home again it doesn't work. so I don't think that it is the pc that is to blame this time!
I thank you for all of your help I will be giving you a high grade and I will try to find the Modem manual and that stuff
THANK YOU!

If you need help with the modem - let me know the make/model, and I can tell you where to look. Depending on who your internet service provider is, I have seen them lock down the ports to avoid gamers utilizing their bandwidth.....yet another reason for Google Fiber to be everywhere!Hi again! I have been trying to get the gaming servers work with my internet here at home. I forwarded the ports but they still won't open (My friend helped me). I tried running the: http://www.ismyportblocked.com/?pc=lol. program again and the results were the same, same errors and everything...
We even tried changing the internet cable input from the router to the modem but it is still impossible to connect to gaming servers.

For a temporary fix - try turning off your firewall on your PC and see if you get the connection with the link above.•TCP Passed: 80,443
•TCP Failed: 2099,5222-5223,8088,8393-8400
Same as before, but I am just wondering if I turn off my AVG firewall do I then need to turn off the windows fire wall as well or is the windows firewall deactivated already after I have turned the AVG firewall of?

There is something in the router setup then that is preventing connection. There will only be 2 sources that can cause this - a firewall on the computer or the firewall in your router.accidently clicked on solved...
But so you cant change the internet cable from my computer to the router and instead have the internet cable go directly to the modem to see if that works without getting the errors?

For the modem: http://www.igmanual.com/adsl-ew/chaptergb.vns?request=d...
For the router: ftp://downloads.netgear.com/files/WGR614v9_SM_26Oct07.p...
Both links should give you the complete setup for security/firewall.

Will it help If I buy a new modem adsl from telia?
Or a new router?

I had same problem, i discovered that when my utorrent was on i cant connect. Also if my mother pc was on couldnt connect to game servers, she is using same wifi as i. So after many months i had a tought. My mother computer had utorrent on too every time her pc was turned on, so i turned her utorrent off and voila!!! I could connect to League of legends. It has to do something how utorrent uses wifi routers porting i think. I hope it helps.

The problem its that you install a program and the proxy settings changed
to fix it you need to reset the setting
to reset your proxy settings yourself, follow these steps:
On Windows XP, click Start, or on Windows Vista or Windows 7, click the windows buttom, and then click Run.
In the Run text box, copy (CTRL+C) and paste (CTRL+V) or type the following:
reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v ProxyEnable /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
Click OK.
And again On Windows XP, click Start , or on Windows Vista or Windows 7, click the windows buttom, and then click Run.
In the Run text box, copy (CTRL+C) and paste (CTRL+V) or type the following:
reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v ProxyServer /f
Click OK.

I have got the same problem!
This just happened to me now... everything was perfect and has been for a long time and then as of tonight few moments ago I can't connect to anything... Mumble, TS3, Steam, EVE... prob more but I CAN browse internet and download things no problem....
The only thing I haven't tried from all solutions on the net is to check with my ISP.
its the strangest problem! also to note my laptop which also has all these programs and games that was also working 100% until now can't connect either to these programs and games... but it CAN browse and download from firefox. which tells me that its not something wrong with my desktop but more a router or ISP issue as I haven't touched my router in ages and all been good with no new things installed or funny changes at all!
This can only be weird happenings on router or your ISP has done something, OR your countries or area's internet is faulty....????
Very wierd. Hope someone can try think of something here
EDIT / UPDATE : I plugged my phone in and used the tethering on it to share the internet to my PC and everything works!
phoning my ISP tomorrow as its midnight now, It has to be the network backbone. perhaps the router but dont think so.

This could be an DNS issue - Google DNS (I have used this for years) couldn't find www.epson.com (I was trying to download drivers), and I had to use OPEN DNS. Your ISP may have issues with DNS servers that are preventing you from connecting....
