I guess I may as well give this a go here and ask. I currently have 2 pc's and my TV for netflix viewing via an xbox going through a router.

I have have played EQ, DCU Online, WoW, and few other online games with no problems at all. City of Heroes though has intermittent Map Server Disconnects which cause all 3 devices connected through the router to lose network connectivity for about 2 minutes. Then everything works fine.

I have set the port forwarding on the router for the ports listed and that did not fix anything. I put the network cable straight to the PC, reset the modem so the main PC gets the IP address and then I can stay on CoH for hours with no problem. So.. I know its the router and CoH not being happy working together. If it was not for the fact that just about any other mmo works like a charm I would have thought it was the router.

What else could I possibly be missing besides forwarding ports 2104, 2106, 6994 and 7000-7100?

The players who are best at helping with technical issues like that are more frequently found in the Technical Issues & Bugs section of the forums. i'd suggest asking there as well.
