Checked everything still get unable to connect, different clients work, port is open, ip is correct in both client and PTreg
I dunno what else to say.....Must be something with the client. But it works for everyone else ;>_>
Check your registry settings, (I think you did) check your OS protection.
What do I mean by the last one? Okay... XP typically firewalls any program that wasn't installed via an official installer, and registered as needing internet access. I don't remember how to set an exception in XPs firewall when you can't see the popup, but I do remember that most PT clients block that popup, and just see no internet connection.
Vista goes further by creating a virtual filesystem and system registry for any program installed in a system area which then tries to write to files in those system areas or access the main system registry.
In short, if you are using Vista, check for a "Compatibility files".
The files stored here will override those in your main folder, and the same will be true of the System Registry stored under HKLM. (HKey_Local_Machine)
The easiest way around this is either to install to a second hard drive / portable drive / on your desktop etc. Or to right click and "Run as Administrator"... which I don't recommend for normal use.
The client I created has a Vista security descriptor added, allowing it to do some of these things, and I'm working on making it only use files and registry settings in an XP / Vista compliant manner... This program is not (even in official releases) Windows Logo compliant, even for XP, which is the current minimum.
Yeah thats what im trying to figure out. Idk what to do anymore. pissing me off lol
Upload the client I will check and test the client.
(Don't want download the whole files)
Thanks
>>MegaUpload<<
>>MediaFire<<
My server doesn't even work anymore lol my IP went from 192.168.1.4 to 192.168.1.2, so i changed my router settings to open the ports, restart computer there back to 1.4 lol but now i cant connect, with ANY client, not even when it was working a day ago. I get unable to connect after 30 seconds of entering the account information. This is really messing with my head
Sounds like you are having serious issues managing the Router. We (my Wife and I) allocate specific IPs to specific Mac addresses in the DHCP server of our routers, and always have.
The newer ones actually pick up the machine name installed in Windows, or the localhost name on the Linux machines... which makes it easier than looking up the MAC address of your Ethernet controller.
Really, for LAN IPs you shouldn't have to open ports inside the router... just state that traffic within the host mask is considered safe. host mask 255.255.255.0 will map anything 192.168.1.x
---Edit---
Oh, but do remember that if you server IP changes, you have to re-do the server registry, server hotuk.ini and sql.dll & clan.dll changes... as they are all IP dependent.
You can do it globally. Why? because you have a dynamic IP address. Just use 127.0.0.1, or you can still try your global IP at www.WhatIsMyIP.com.
Any IP identification page will tell you your LANs IP (your modem IP) from the internet, not the IP of your server on your LAN.Quote:

Your home, siblings, respective others, flat mates, frat house, LAN Gaming party etc. Then you really do need a static IP allocated for your game server in your DHCP server... be it Domain Controller or Router or WHY.
I know this is getting Network Admin rather than Server Dev here, but again, that has been one of my official titles, and it's frustrating when people do not understand the functions provided by their network equipment, and expect to be able to run a game server.
Sorry; it's late, I'm tired, and what you need, is dependent on what you are trying to achieve.
It's not necessarily helpful to give someone an answer to a problem they don't have... I know, I do that all the time. Finding out what they are trying to achieve is by far the most important point to getting them the correct answer... either that, or bombard them with all the possible answers and the circumstances that would lead to each one being correct. As tends to be my Epic Fail. :wink:
lol i meant Can't my bad :P.
