Enter the following commands in the command prompt window:

Solution 3: Enable NAT settings
To enable NAT settings with your internet service provider, follow these steps:
- Access your internet service providers service settings
- For example, for my provider DOMRU, it was located in the service settings
- Look for the NAT settings and make sure its enabled
I couldn’t figure out why i couldn’t play normally like everyone else for a long time, only to discover that NAT was turned off. enabling NAT resolved the issue completely. trust me this really works. i try multiple ways to fix this issue but the only way to pa*s this anoying problem problem was to enable NAT. but we are lucky the fix is simple to make.
