BlueAle Report post Posted October 1, 2011 (edited) hi, I have a problem with the game when I try to play, it opens and the bar loads then I hear a noise and it says connecting to server and it stays like that forever. I have left it like 20 min and it never connects, I'm on mac OS 10.5.8 what could be the problem? thanks Edited October 1, 2011 by BlueAle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir_Odie Report post Posted October 1, 2011 That looks like either a firewall-problem or (more likely) your provider blocking port 2000/tcp, so you can't connect to the el-server... You can try the following: open a Terminal-window and type 'telnet game.eternal-lands.com 2000' If you don't get a response from the game-server you should ask your provider, if he blocks that port.

Thank you for your answer, I did as you said and it gave me a response with a welcome message. So I guess it isn't the provider. What else could I do?

Sir_Odie Report post Posted October 2, 2011 Then please check, if you have any kind of firewall blocking the EL-Client. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueAle Report post Posted October 2, 2011 Then please check, if you have any kind of firewall blocking the EL-Client. The firewall wasn't blocking anything still I put EL in allow all connections, then I tried to play and it said it disconnected me because this version needed an update. So I wen't and downloaded the game again, installed and tried to play, a dialog box to choose the language appeared and then it froze, now it just crashes every time the bar loads.
