Title: Cant connect to the game servers
Post by: LinksLegend on April 07, 2005, 04:01:37 am

For some reason I cant connect to the servers. It says the server is down or something, and I cant log in to play. This is my first time playing. Anyone else having this problem?

Remember that you should be trying to join Laanx server, not Localhost.

Now then... if it says Fail, and doesn\'t let you connect, it\'s likely that it\'s down for maintainance or it just crashed. You can check server status at http://laanx.fragnetics.com (wait a few minutes and refresh the page a couple of times- the status is taken every 5 minutes or so).

Assuming it says \"Online\", try to join again. If you still can\'t, you may have a troublesome firewall or router blocking the traffic.

Do you?

No, this is a brand new comp, not much on it. Suppose I\'ll keep trying.

Edit: No luck. It just says \"Unable to connect to server\"
Edit2: I had no idea my Norton AntiVirus was on. :P

Ah there you go. :) I used to have Norton myself, it didn\'t cause any issues with online games though... oh well, I guess every system is different, aye?
