Kiwi06 Report post Posted January 17, 2012 I really want to play EL. I had this issue last year and gave up on trying because I couldn't fix it. I've seen that some other people have this same issue, but haven't seen how to fix it. When I start EL (everything is fine, no crashes) I type in my log in info and click log in but nothing happens. NOTHING, no errors or anything. If I don't push anything at the beginning I can see that it never actually connects and after a while I get the "Disconnected" message. I've pinged EL and other places and I get responses. Why can't I connect? Is my IP blocked or something? Please help! ^^' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raz Report post Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) I would try running a telnet connection to port 2000 on the el server - thats may be what is being blocked. Also try port 2001 - thats the test server. If unssure of how to use telnet - check other posts in this section- as many have the exact instructions Edited January 17, 2012 by Raz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Elf_Ninja Report post Posted January 17, 2012 Hey Kiwi06 wondered why i hadn't seen you in awhile :)Since i somewhat know where you are, are you attempting to log in from the dorm or over the university internet? If so that might be what's blocking you. It might be good to look into Learners proxy service. Not 100% sure that is the issue but it could be. Fast way to try might be to install EL on a laptop try from there then go somewhere else with wifi or a friends house and try logging in from there and see if you have the same issue. If you can't find a friendly wifi connection let me know via forum pm i can have you come up to the bookstore where i work and add you to the wifi to see if it works as i know i can get on EL there. Hope that helps Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kiwi06 Report post Posted January 17, 2012 Yeah I'm trying to log in from Missouri State University. I think it is the university blocking it, but they won't help me. I don't have any kind of income so I can't get Learner's proxy service. EL worked fine at my house, but does not work at the university. If it is them blocking me then I really have no way to fix it because they aren't cooperating. Is there no other way to fix this? Thanks for the tips, Kiwi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
groomsh Report post Posted January 19, 2012 If you have a shell account on a server outside of university net, you could make a ssh tunnel (using putty for example)... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
