Connection Issue

[Guest ShapeShift]

Hello, I am posting here due to an issue I noticed yesterday when I was trying to install EL.

 

When the game starts I get stuck on "Connecting to server..."

 

I hope you can help me with this issue! Below is a copy of my error log.

 

Thank you!

 

Kind Regards, ShapeShift

*Edit*

 

I tried changing to another server and port which made me successfully connect to the server.

 

Does this mean that "game.eternal-lands.com" "port: 2000" is down?

 

I don't seem to get any response and I am really eager to start playing EL again.

 

Can someone help me out here?

It's not down, but it might be possible that port 2000 is blocked by your ISP or a firewall or an anti virus tool.

If you can get to a command line, try

 

telnet game.eternal-lands.com 2000

 

If you can connect to the server and get a welcome message (followed by misc gibberish), then you can reach the main server. If, as I suspect, the command will be stuck with no output, then you have a firewall or antivirus at your machine, or router, or ISP, that is blocking port 2000. In that case, you can try to configure the firewall/antivirus to open port 2000 (at least to that particular machine), or maybe try to use a proxy service (there is a pretty efficient one offered by Learner) so you can access the game at another host/port.

 

Let us know if it worked!
