i made this:

i changed the data/servers.xml file , the original was :





   

and i changed in :





   

I also have a netgear router where i opened the 7777 udp port.

Greetings,

I am also experiencing problem with my router and ports, getting the same message Sunlas is getting (Fail 100 in server list). My router asks for an ip address, and does not accept laanx.fragnetics.com. I have forwarded ports 7354 and 777, both UDP, to ip address 203.81.47.91 (which I found on the site), bit this does not work. IS there anything I can try to make the game work?

Do not forward any UDP ports, especially to some unknown or out-of-date IP addresses. The current IP address for laanx.fragnetics.com is 203.81.44.229, but it can be changed in the future. If your firewall blocks outgoing UDP connections, enable them for the UDP port number 7777. For some firewall you have to specify that you enable bidirectional UDP on that port.

Having a wrong port number in the servers.xml file indicates that you haven\'t updated the game. Updater will download the proper file with the correct server name and port number.

somebody is going to be getting some odd traffic. iirc, you forward ports to your side of the router, not the internet side. i\'d get intouch with the tech support for the manufactuer of your router for information on how to do it correctly.

Thanks. forwarding the port to that ip address worked.

As a note for the future if anyone has this same issue.  I have Norton Systemworks 2005 and last night the built in Internet worm protection for some reason determined that PS was a worm.  It put the entire laanx server on autoblock, so if anyone else has this problem and has systemworks, make sure NSW isn\'t autoblocking the server.
