Someone please help! I've been waiting for hours.

Greetings.

Could you please give us details at first? Your operating system, your hardware, your kind of internet connection, if you have an aggressive firewall active...

UDP connections (to and from a distant port 7777) must be allowed, a console command "ping laanx.fragnetics.com" must work.

BTW: "Help!" is the most useless thread topic possible.

Windows XP

( Not sure on the other stuff.. )

512 mb of ram, non-agressive firewall.

I just need a step-to-step on how to fix it, im not a computer genius,

Are you sure the server was not just down?

[Jeadan]

I had just tried it.. like right now.

What do you mean - not sure?

At least your connection type should be known to you. Do you have: Analog modem / ISDN / internet via TV cable / DSL / SkyDSL (via satellite) / ...? Somehow you will connect to the world-wide computer network.

Most techniques are rather simple. Even more complex scenarios (like being in a NAT network connected via 2-way satellite system) work without any tweaking. But there are a few with quirks. For example, your DSL modem (if you have DSL at all) was set up to block unexpected packets. Or if you have a 1-way satellite connection (with phone-line upstream): There are techniques which don't support UDP at all.

There are dozens of older threads where people "can't connect". You will find there how to check if a "ping" to the server works.

Important: Load the page http://laanx.fragnetics.com and look if the server is reported to be online. If it is not working, you can't connect, of course.

Okay, i run on DSL High speed internet.

[Jeadan]

Help please, its been days.

[LigH]

Does the "ping" work?

And what kind of DSL modem/router do you have? Can it be configured to block UDP?

Get a network specialist to you. How, do you think, shall we help without coming to your house? Possible reasons for this issue can be so different.

[Jeadan]

No, i try to ping it and it says it not a valid file.

[LigH]

File?! The "ping" command does not print such a kind of message.

It should look like that (my messages are in german):

i think the problem is that you can't open command prompt for some reason, right Jeaden?

Does anybody know if you need administrator rights to do so?
