Gampa Report post Posted December 11, 2008 Probably something is blocking port 2000, on which the main server is running. That could either be an antivirus software, a firewall or your ISP. First of all make sure that client is allowed to make a connection (antivirus and firewall settings). You can also try to connect to the test server, which runs on port 2001 and see if that's working. If you're able to connect to test, probably your ISP is blocking port 2000.

Guest rommi Report post Posted December 11, 2008 i already tried it without the firewall running. and i'm directly connected to the internet with modem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maxine Report post Posted December 12, 2008 Even if you are connected through a modem, there is still a service provider involved (like a phone company) that might be blocking port 2000. Try the test server like Gampa suggested to see if only port 2000 is blocked. Mixi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest rommi Report post Posted December 15, 2008 hey fellows, first, thanks for your answers. the isp was my first thought, too. now they answered they're are blocking no ports. the testserver works, i can connect and walk around. i really hope, somone has got another idea. rommi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alia Report post Posted December 15, 2008 Try telnet game.eternal-lands.com 2000 You should see welcome message. If you don't then something blocks port 2000, and you should figure out what is it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest rommi Report post Posted December 16, 2008 If you don't then something blocks port 2000, and you should figure out what is it. that's the point.. i already tried everything what came into my mind. antivirus software down, firewall down, using the windows network instead of the isp's software, asking the isp if they are blocking something. i tried a telnet connection, it didn't work, same thingy on the test server port worked. i also tried to connect to pk server, connection worked, but i dont have an account there. the question is now: what else could block ports? i dont know... rommi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
