Here is the best way to do all of this.
Uninstall all antivirus/firewall software, disable windows firewall. Unplug your router and plug your modem directly to your PC.
"You want to make sure your PC is completely unsecure and is accessible by all Hackers...this is very important!!"
Launch a game and see if you have connectivity problems. If you do then all issues are on their end unless your ISP is reshaping packets.
"You must realize that your network does not function around your PC/Xbox360/PS3/Wireless devices, your network functions only on Demigod, you must keep that state of mind if you really, really want to become a demigod"
Then install your antivirus software and test again see if that works, because you never know if you just caught herpies from visiting a porn site in between demigod games.
Install software based firewall if needed or just reactivate windows firewall and make sure Demigod and Impulse have and exception to allow traffic without filtering. Test again and record what happens.
If all is well and your life is flourishing as a Demigod its now time to take the final step.
