Problems connecting even though the server is online
« on: April 02, 2007, 04:02:22 pm »
Hi everyone ;)

I have problem's connecting to the game, the game claims that the server is offline however when I look in the server page it says that 124 users are currently online implying that it is online. so I tried some other thing.I port forwarded port number 7777 to my computer, with no success, I disabled my firewall both on the computer and on the router again with no success. I tried to ping the server and apparently is working but the ping are kinda high for some reason (350-500). I tried to restart my router and my local computer to no avail and for the last thing I tried to update the game version, again to no avail it didnt even updated because he couldnt contact the server or its mirrors.. no matter what I did nothing worked. my guess says that the source of the problem is the actually game port, UDP 7777 but I cant see why it doesnt work since all my firewalls are turned off and my router forwards data from that port to me. I've dont everything I could think of but nothing seems to work but so far no success so I turn to you, what should I do to be able to play the game? ???

heres some related info:

OS: Debian Etch (Linux Kernel 2.6)
Internet Connection: 1.5MB Cable
Firewall (although currently disabled): IPtablets with Firestarter front-end
Router Manufacturer:Edimax (Model unspecified, just says broadband router)

Thanks for the help
