i think the security features on my router keep killing my fifa 2006 online play
im not playing behind a firewall but i think the problem are the features..what happens if turn them all off?

Firewall Options

Enable Hacker Attack Protect
Discard PING from WAN side
Unallow to PING the Gateway
Drop Port Scan Packets
Allow to Scan Security Port (113)
Discard NetBios Packets
Accept Fragment Packets
Send ICMP packets when error


Hacker Attack Patterns
IP Spoofing
Smurf Attack
Ping of Death
Land Attack
Snork Attack
UDP Port Loop
TCP Null Scan
Sync Flood
packets per second
Short Packet
my pc has its own firewall..but which ones would most likely kill my fifa connection???

The most common ones out of that list that I've seen have an impact on legit applications are:

Blocking fragmented packets
Blocking ping from WAN side (it's not as if this makes you invisible, so go ahead and allow pings)
Blocking ping to the gateway (should be allowed)
Syn Flood
Packets per second (depends on what the value is)
Short Packet
