Currently able to play from my dorm at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, seems like others are still having problems though. I've posted everything I've done since I got the game, hopefully this will help solve the problem for others.

  • Also, before you connected with an Ethernet cable in the lounge, were you trying to play using the WiFi in your room? This would be helpful to know. Please and thank you.

  • I guess I'll start from the beginning. When I first got the game at midnight on release, I was able to connect with the wifi and play for about 5 minutes at a time, then get pineapple. Also, the wifi is really weak from my dorm, so I tried the Ethernet and it couldn't identify the NAT type, which I needed for party chat. Since that didn't work I didn't attempt to start Destiny over Ethernet at that time. I gave up after and hour and emailed OIT the next morning, then they registered my ps4s MAC address. I tried Ethernet again with the same problem, I could connect to the internet and psn, but got centipede when I tried to play Destiny anyway. I kept trying periodically until I went to the game lounge last night to play, I connected there with Ethernet as well. When I got back to my dorm, I connected with Ethernet again and kept the same internet settings I had when it connected in the lounge and it identified the NAT as type 1, same as in the lounge. Then I was able to play Destiny with no problems since then.

  • ah, i've been talking to tech support, they say that an Ethernet cable is a possible way to fix it, but hasn't been tested yet. i am on Xbox one so i we are testing it with the Xbox one later today once they have my Xbox's Wired MAC address registered and i'm trying that, if it works i will relay the info to this post.

  • Hmmm, mine still works great. I connected with the Ethernet at the game lounge last night, when I came back I used the Ethernet in my room. I didn't re-set up the connection, I just checked the connection and it all worked great. It might still think I'm in the game lounge and using those settings to connect. Someone else should try this to confirm though. It might be some crazy work around. I'm on ps4 btw

  • if you have an Xbox, before you can use the wired Ethernet, you have to get the tech desk to register your Wired MAC address.

  • Ahh that makes sense. I only registered the wireless MAC address.

  • I just tried at 8:30 Friday morning and got centipede. Did you do anything specific to make it work?

  • Were you in contact with your IT department at all during the process? Or did it just start working for you?
