My friends network got effed up yesterday and he cant log in to stuff like steam, WoW and gameranger. He can play Angels Online and San Andreas Multiplayer. He told me it has happended before but it got solved automaticly after a couple of hours.
 
We're going to need some additional information about the network... what kind of hardware is being run? How exactly did the network get screwed up... stuff like that. Without said information we really have no where to start.

The router model is "Netgear RP614v4" He doesn't know what the problem is. He's got the modem for over a year and the router for a couple a years and it's been working fine until yesterday. Like i said the same problem has happened before but only for a couple of hours. He can go into Mozilla, Internet Explorer and Google Chrome but he can't go into steam, WoW and stuff like that (Except like San Andreas Multiplayer and that stuff)
 
Ok, well something had to have changed between the time it was working and the time it was not working. Any new hardware, new devices on the network anything like that? Also I hate to ask the obvious but have you tried rebooting everything?
 
Checked yer router firewall? Has there been a power outage that would cause stuff like forwarded port settings to become lost?

Well my friends family is moving so the only change of devices on the network is 2 devices dissapearing and he has the "Host" computer. He have not bought any new hardware the last year. And yes he has tried turning the modem and router off for 10 minutes and then turn it on.

Ok, but it wouldn't hurt to check. Some games/network configs require a port to be forwarded.

Yeah, But it sounds wierd since it worked upon till last week and he never had ports forwarded for WoW and Steam plus gameranger is made to play games without needing to forward ports
