Error cd 16

Hi. It's not the typing that's the problem because the PC n tossed out and the notebook as well. We bought a new router and it's been bad ever since. Can someone tell me what to do with the router? or something? Thanks

PLS HELP

[Dutchman101]

Try this first:

Download https://mirror.multitheftauto.com/mtasa/utils/servicing.bat and right click > "Run as Administrator".

Let it complete (it can take a while), and it will close on its own when it's done. Then restart your PC.

 

After that, see if the problem is solved

* Note: it might work, because it resets your Windows networking stack, and sometimes corruption within it causes network errors like this.

not working. any other solution?

Then it might have to do with a stricter internal router firewall/filtering (rather: bad one).

First of all, this guide is under the assumption that nothing else on your PC (e.g a firewall or security software) is blocking MTA-related network traffic. So, make sure to check and disable (for testing) if you do have such products installed, and to also do the same with Windows Firewall (disable it). If that doesn't help, then go ahead with the below guide.

 

Instructions:

1) Go to start menu > "Run" and write "cmd", to open command prompt. Make sure to right-click it and select "Run as Administrator".

Type this in cmd:

ipconfig /all

It will output a table of addresses; locate and copy "Default gateway" and "DHCP server" addresses into a text file.

2) open your web browser, and paste & navigate to both addresses like you would if that IP address was a regular website.

Examples: http://192.168.2.1, http://192.168.2.254 (also, both are very common, so who knows it works for you)

You will most likely end up on the configuration interface (or login screen) of your router. If it asks for you to login, look if the required account details, physically are on back of your router (usually on a sticker or label) and if they're not, search this on Google:

Quote

router login [router model number] or 

router admin pass [router model number]

If there's no known login credentials for your router or you can't find them, try (a combination) of these, both as username (account) and password:

username: admin
password: admin

username: blank (don't enter)
password: admin

username: blank (don't enter)
password: blank (don't enter)
* press login without entering anything, it may ask you to set a new password immediately

username: provider/ISP name (abbrevation)
password: provider/ISP name or blank, or your local translation of the word 'wireless' or 'internet'

for the places where username 'admin' is mentioned, you should also try the variant 'Administrator' and 'administrator' (with and without capital letter)

As those are the most common login credentials, trying them all has a success rate of 80%. If none of them work, call your ISP, or do a more extensive web search, it should definately be documented (or figured out by someone else on the web) how to log in to your router's configuration panel. Also try searching in your own language.

 

3) If you successfully logged in, you'll see the configuration interface. It has plenty of tabs for various settings, you should focus on finding the ones relevant.

In this case, the relevant configuration page is something that has to do with "Firewall" - we are looking to modify the router's internal firewall and/or security settings. So, scroll through all pages to find it.

Once you found it, set the router's internal firewall to the lowest possible level, e.g "Disabled", "Off" or "Low". This is so you can find out if it was the reason of these issues. In case it now starts working, and if you want to keep your network secure, you can later experiment with all levels of protection and find the one that fixes MTA CD** networking errors/"Connection Timed Out" at the very least.

 

Ok, so evaluate if it solved the problem or not. If it did, please let me know. If it didn't, there is 1 final solution that you can try. See below:

1) Find a setting called "DMZ", DMZ Host, or similar. Get your PC's MAC address and also Local IP address (get it from the same ipconfig /all in cmd as from the beginning), it's the "Physical Address" (MAC) and "IPv4 Address" (Local IP address), listed under the output for your network adapter. Note these down (your PC's MAC address and Local IP address).

Example on how it may look (to find it):

Depending on your router model, it will let you enable "DMZ" / "DMZ Host" mode for your PC either by its MAC address or local IP. That's why we collected both, so you can choose the correct option.

2) Now, based on the input requirement, enable DMZ mode and enter said MAC address / local IP, this is how your router knows which device on your network it will use for DMZ.

* Notes (if you are a bit technical): Using MAC address over local IP if possible is preferred, because otherwise there's a chance it will only work temporarily, for as long your PC, the device, "leases" that IP address. If you understand everything so far though, keep in mind that if there's no option for MAC (only local IP) you can also go to DHCP server options (which should be somewhere in your router's interface) and create a static lease rule for your PC - which means always assign a specific local IP address to said MAC address. Then, just use your PC's current local IP, which you noted down, as input for which local IP address to always assign to the device with said MAC address. Some routers let you select your device (to be your PC) from a list rather than ask you for MAC in DHCP static lease rules, so just anticipate.

 

Ok, so now you have enabled DMZ for your PC, even if you couldn't select it by MAC address (or didn't understand "Notes")) leading it to be temporarily only, we can still test if this solves the problem.

Test again. If the problem is solved, then yeah, you have a bad router - because clearly, disabling the router's internal firewall wasn't enough for it to stop blocking important network traffic.

Understand that DMZ stands for "Demilitarized zone" which practically means that all ports on your PC are now forwarded (rather: there's nothing to limit access) and all firewall features are now off. This is an insecure situation, so it's not recommended to keep using it for long, unless you're an advanced user that knows how to keep themselves safe on the web. So, it is recommended to use it for finding out if your router's firewall/security is the cause of your problems, and if it was, use this option on the short term while contacting your internet provider (ISP) about the issues, as they are delivering less than ideal service and are causing compatibility problems with games like MTA.

I doubt you followed all instructions properly, but OK. We will try a few more things.. if they won't help, it's time for you to contact your ISP.

Please download and run MTADiag and follow the instructions.
Then post the link it gives you in this topic.

Next steps:

1) Download the latest driver version for your network adapter (only for @nexys, not other readers):

https://www.dropbox.com/s/4lc84wpk4v7mefa/realtek_8821CE_2024.0.8.122.zip?dl=1

2) Go to Windows 10 network icon on taskbar > "Network & Internet settings" as shown below:

In "Network & Internet settings", scroll all  the way down to "Network reset" as shown below:

Click "Network reset" and then restart your PC

 

3) When your PC has restarted, install the driver that you downloaded in step 1

To install the driver, extract the .zip file so it looks like this:

Then right-click "dpinst.exe" and select "Run as Administrator" and let it install. Restart your PC again.

Now let's hope updating your network driver solves the problem, even though it's unlikely.

 

Anyways, if this doesn't help, then you got only 3 options left:

1) Test if you can connect to MTA servers with another PC or laptop on your home network. If it works, then there's corruption somewhere on your PC, of a nature not worth troubleshooting on the MTA forums here, so then re-install your PC as a catch-all method. Then it should work.

Note: if you don't have another PC to test with, re-install Windows on your PC straight away, as a last resort option.

2) If the problem happens on all of your PC's, and none of them has firewall software running, then contact your internet provider (ISP).

 

Literally, if nothing helps up to this point, contact your internet provider (ISP). Because then it's the end of support that we can provide you, we have tried a lot.

Alternatively, if you still got your old router (from before plugging in the new model that you mentioned), try to fall back on it. Then report the issues to your provider, and use the old router until you got closure.

And what should I say if I call him?

Just read my replies carefully, and you'll know what to tell them.

If you don't get it, it would be something like:

After the recent upgrade to your router model X, i am having connectivity and packet reliability issues while playing certain multiplayer games such as MTA: San Andreas. Their support has guided me through every step of router and home network troubleshooting [[provide them the link to this topic]] and I am sure that the problems started since the exact moment that I got the new router model and replaced the old one with it. These problems have been here ever since, and due to dropped packets/unstable connection i keep getting kicked out of gameservers, even those close to me in the same country [[tell them SeeMTA connection details and examples of dates it happened]]. Therefore, the combination of facts point towards your new router model being the cause of these problems, or some sort of internal firewall filtering that the user cannot control is mistakenly flagging and dropping some game connection packets.

Also, keep in mind that it's possible this new router model has a worse Wifi antenna than the previous line of routers, so you could just be getting bad signal strength leading to packet loss, and then being thrown out of MTA servers as a result. So if they want to check on this, or provide recommendations on the distance between your router and PC (e.g upstairs & downstairs) or send you Wifi repeaters to use, then follow those recommendations, and see if they solve it, first before continuing to file a complaint using that story.
