The filters tab is unmodified, nothing filled in there. Think the problem lies in my modem, might be some firewall there but I can't check in that thing >.< I hate networks, lol. Well, if I don't see my cousin on msn today I'm calling him >.> Appreciate him to fix my internet, but hate it that he makes it bloody inaccessible for other things. Planning to throw any hardware firewall off and stick with a pc firewall, at least that's easy to modify x_x

A.

Ah, after changing the typo it works fine. Sorry about that.

Here's my network installation thing:

Modem - Motorola SBV5120E
 |
Router - Linksys BEFSR11 192.168.1.1
 |
Switch -> My computer for cable internet. 192.168.1.100
 |
Wireless - Asus 802.11G 102.168.1.2

I am able to access my wireless and my router system, I can't connect to the modem however. (I don't know the number of it, last time my cousin setted it up by plugging a pc in there directly )

Edit: Just so you know, I REALLY appreciated your help on this matter ;> I'd sacrifice a cookie in your honour.

It still gives me a time out when I try to ping 203.81.44.242, currently my settings are standard again meaning I got laanx.fragnetics.com in my server.xml file. I just pinged laanx.fragnetics.com aswell, which does return with 386ms 4 times. The same goes for the 210.193.49.103 address.

So basically I can ping and reach the server, but just not connect to it through my game? I'm a tad confused now.

Edit: I found this in my PS folder, it might be of any use to you guys?

Edit: 90% Sure it's still some damn security blocking the way. Tried 2 other games yesterday/today downloaded off the net aswell, so far they both fail to connect to a server while they are both from a different maker. Curse you difficulties of a online firewall! 

Edit2: Just trying to use the "known fixes" for those games which apparently are not related to my firewall. I checked around several times in my modem and accespoint or w/e it's called and found no firewall. Stupid but that leads me back to the error-log above, can any developer or Admin take a look at it? Seems to be errors of the game unable to get the right packages or something >.< No clue, and my patience is wearing rather thin as I'd would like to play this game before next Christmas >.<

Had that myself yesterday, what worked for me was to go to the planeshift setup and toggle the map loading and pre-modell loading off. Once I did that, it worked good for me, loaded straight through and got me to the login screen. Everytime I toggle the "Load all maps" and "Preload models" again, the loading stops half-way so I advice not to do that.

Y'ello people,

I'm having trouble connecting to the planeshift server, I checked my home network setting the ports open. (Atleast, I think I did). Also tried disabling/enabling my firewall even though it has the planeshift rule added to accept whatever connection it wants. So, I'm wondering.. Is the server online and running currently or not? I checked both sites provided in the forum but here's the problem: One site states it's online, the other says it's offline but has 90 playing members currently. I also tried pinging the server, which succeeded yesterday but fails as I write this.

http://plexus.shacknet.nu/cov/index.php - The community of Vaalnor, Planeshift Serverstatus:  Online
http://hydlaa.com/ - Server offline, 90 members. It's been like that since yesterday.

ping laanx.fragnetics.com - Unable to find host
ping 203.81.44.242 - Time out
ping 210.193.49.103 - Responce 4 times, 383 ms

( Also, the sticky concerning this problem seems to give 2 different IP adresses.. Bug or? It confuses me, so I therefor tried to edit the xml with both the 2 IP adresses above which changed/helped nothing. )

The server could be experiencing a DNS problem. Try to use the IP address to access it: 203.81.44.242

Edit the servers.xml file within the data folder of your PlaneShift's directory to reflect this change.

The picture gives a other IP adress then stated above in the text.

I saw a other topic where it stated the server was offline yet with playing members, and toggled the setup options as that fixed it for the user, but did nothing for me.

Any help on this option is appreciated, from what I can guess seeing this info it has been down for today and yesterday. Can anyone confirm this? Otherwise it still might be my network.

Summary:
- Pinging worked yesterday, not today
- Disabled firewall - No change
-Tried to change the planeshift setup options - No change
- Forwarded ports in router - No change
- Edited server.xml file with no success

Pc info:

Win xp - Service pack 2
Connected to a cable
No proxies
Bit defender firewall / Virus scanner

If you need any more information, I'll do my best to provide it. Again, any help is greatly appreciated, I played this game at least a year ago. Since it improved allot I'd thought I would give it another shot, trying to find a nice game to RP on aswell now that I quitted a other game whose name I won't mention here. 

Regards,
Dark Ap

P.s I'm don't know much about networking, port forwarding, etc. So please put any help in easy terms.
P.p.s I was able to fix the OpenAl32.dll bug for myself by reading the stickies, perhaps that is of any use aswell.
