CANT CONNECT TO THE SERVARRRRR

hi guys, its pretty weird since some weeks (at least 5-6weeks) i cant connect to the server (Awaiting Connection Indefinatly), XFIRE cant get info from the server.. and i cant even PING it. I know that IM the problem (probably). You have an idea why ? Is there other player from SYMPATICO that have problems ?????

Can you ping the server from your PC?
All I need to see is the ping statistics.
If you get 0 received try a tracert on the server
see where it's bottlenecking

The ping dont work, Request timed out. And the TRACERT result :

Code:

Tracing route to 190.56.21.72.reverse.layeredtech.com [72.21.56.190]

over a maximum of 30 hops:

check your lmhost file. i am willing to bet if you use a packet sniffer you will see either your machines firewall/anti spyware program, popup blocker, spyware or router(unlikely) is blocking that address or range of. something on your machine is blocking you from tallking to that router.

what have you installed in that time frame of six weeks.


c:WINDOWSsystem32etclmhost

what antispyware/popup blockers do you use?

if it's not that IM me i'll get it working, or xp!der will

i tried to pping and tracert on my laptop(XP) and another computer(win98 no-firewall) and i get error.. BUT on the tracert on my LAPTOP i get this error

HARDWARE !! uh

what router are you using. did you buy it or was it provided by your isp. can you get the router out of the equation?

i'd be lying if i said i knew what the problem was off hand. use some social engineering and ask your isp why you can't connect to that address. tell them that server has military intelligence that is mission critical and they are on a need-to-know basis (they don't need to know). if they don't buy that, refer them to www.askterd.com.

tell them adogg sent you. i will do it for you if needed, but then i'll have to kill you.

Normally a "Hardware Error"
in a tracert doesn't mean the issue is on your end,
alot of servers don't allow pptp passthrough,
which Stupid XP uses for tracing, and others don't
allow "Unframed tcp Packets", a way around that
is to make sure you have no other internet-enabled
programs running, Torrents, fileshare, IM Clients,
AntiVirus, Firewalls (Hardware ans Software).

Do me a favor, tracert to me specialforcesteam.net,
and post the log.

ok thank you for your help guys !!

But all the other hops are pretty high too .. ?!
Ive put my computer in DMZ, but i still cant connect/ping. And i cant connect to internet without my rooter because its a 'combo' modem/rooter. Its pretty weird because i can play on all my other regulars servers.

Restart the router? Sometimes, some routers can get bogged down with 'crap' internally.

Can you connect to other servers, and if so, where?

If he were using an anti-virus program (specifically Norton), could this also be a reason? but that brings me back to can you connect to other servers?

Actually, you say you haven't tried to connect in 5-6 weeks? What's differenet on your end? New software, new isp, new router, new settings etc.

Did anyone mention port-forwarding? ALthough, that would seem weird to me...but the router doing something funky with that port wouldn't surprise me...Which I guess can be quickly eliminated if you can connect to other servers.

yeah i can play on other servers.. i tried too to change the DNS SERVER, but i still have the problem, i pretty sure its not AV related because i tried it on my 4 computer (XP-P,XP-H,98se,LINUX) and i get the same fucking results.. anyway, i think its time to call isp..

ok, everything seems OK now. During this little 2-months without UAN, i played mostly in Rifles Only server .. and shit, i come back on UAN, ULTRA-FAST gameplay, modded as hell, with mgs..hehe i suck.. ill need some practice

Nice1 MadFire.
Glad you got your issues resolved,
and welcome back.
