Server failed

[Redj]

Hi all

I try to be a new player, but on the log screen, the server connection fail...so I'm not 

I've read all the topics I've seen dealing about server, even in the Windows forum, and try all known solutions, but it still not connect :

I've not update,
I tried to re-install
I have open the UDP 7777 on my router
I ping the server (0% loss, 320ms)

I use ubuntu drapper

Assuming that you have downloaded and installed the proper version of the client (0.3.018), make sure that your router is opened for bidirectional traffic on the UDP port 7777. You could also try to bypass the router and connect your Linux box directly to the Internet just to make sure that the problem is not in your router. Finally, make sure that you don't have problems with your ISP who might be blocking any non-standard traffic.

I've got the good client version
the 7777 UDP port is open in both direction

I don't know what ISP means?

thanks for your answear.

I don't know what ISP means?

Internet Service Provider.

Some ISPs tend to block any ports that they don't know about to avoid illegal file sharing or whatever they are afraid about.

OK, but don't you think the ping would not works at all if the provider blocks the traffic on that port?

I wonder if ubuntu had installed a software firewall I don't know about?
Is it possible to specify a port when pinging?

[lirucan]

you can specify a port when pinging.

Best way to find out how would be to read the soc files for your OS or try the OS's forums and search ping.

If this helps, under windows your would add :XXXX where XXXX is a port number for example to ping "www.isp.com.country" on port 1028 you would type...

Code: [Select]

ping www.isp.com.country : 1028 _{however I do not suggest using the exact example I have used as I do not think that is an existant site it was just an example...}

I hope this helps BTW your OS does have extensive easy to follow doc files under the help section so look in there under ping if you can...
