Erurainon Report post Posted April 12, 2010 (edited) Hi, I'm using the new client 1.9. My ISP says port 2000 is not blocked. When trying to create new character i get "Connection failed, please try again". Have tested with Windows Vista, Arch Linux, Mandriva and FreeBSD and all is working fine with exception to making a connection to main server. I can log into the test server with no problems. Aislinn says my character is not banned and logs also show that I am not even attempting to log on to the main server. Pinged the server and is good. However the following traceroute reveals: Traceroute of game.eternal-lands.com 1 4 ms 2 ms 2 ms 192.168.2.1 2 861 ms 3 ms 3 ms 192.168.0.1 3 3 ms 3 ms 3 ms 192.168.0.1 4 607 ms 571 ms 578 ms 69.168.144.2 5 685 ms 579 ms 570 ms 69.168.144.164 6 721 ms 574 ms 572 ms 69.168.184.2 7 731 ms 570 ms 580 ms 6-4-71-177.dedicated.mts.net [64.4.71.177] 8 * * * Request timed out. 9 866 ms 1164 ms 1135 ms 83.167.55.93.static.not.updated.as8218.eu [83.167.55.93] 10 1156 ms 1146 ms 1155 ms 83.167.55.98.static.not.updated.as8218.eu [83.167.55.98] 11 * * * Request timed out. 12 852 ms 1161 ms 1139 ms ge1-0-23.esr1.rb.par.as8218.eu [83.167.56.183] 13 1161 ms 1141 ms 1162 ms game.eternal-lands.com [213.152.3.5] Also here is my log: [11:37:53] Using the server profile: main [11:37:53] Window size adjusted to 1024x768 [11:37:54] GL_ARB_multitexture extension found, using it.

nathanstenzel Report post Posted April 13, 2010 (edited) Erurainon, I think in this case, it might be helpful if you mention your approximate global location. I suspect you may be a victim of faulty servers in the France area which I hear give some people in Europe some major issues. Also, "7 731 ms 570 ms 580 ms 6-4-71-177.dedicated.mts.net [64.4.71.177]" does not add up. that 6-4-71-177 should be a 64-4-71-177. Did you notice that? Could you double check it? Do you have any antivirus or firewall software running? Such a thing may block EL's main server for the sake of safety.

Erurainon Report post Posted April 13, 2010 Erurainon, I think in this case, it might be helpful if you mention your approximate global location. I suspect you may be a victim of faulty servers in the France area which I hear give some people in Europe some major issues. Also, "7 731 ms 570 ms 580 ms 6-4-71-177.dedicated.mts.net [64.4.71.177]" does not add up. that 6-4-71-177 should be a 64-4-71-177. Did you notice that? Could you double check it? Do you have any antivirus or firewall software running? Such a thing may block EL's main server for the sake of safety. Thanks, may have been a typo on my part, it is 64-4-71-177. FYI, my approximate global location is Canada. Also, no antivirus or firewall is running. I am testing on 2 different computers (Laptop & Desktop), both are new and amd64. I believe you are right about faulty servers in France but how do we go about rectifying this?

Erurainon Report post Posted April 13, 2010 (edited) Found this info: "TCP port 2000 was flagged as a virus" @ http://www.auditmypc.com/port/tcp-port-2000.asp Port 2000 may be filtered in France for just this reason. I could be wrong. I can connect to the EL test server on port 2001 with no problem. Maybe theses filters are misinterpreting communications with the game over port 2000?

Gilrain Report post Posted April 13, 2010 certain providers/companies filter port 2000 because you can access routers over it (roughly said). But France certainly doesnt filter globally and especially not the provider of the EL game server. So its either something on your machine or some carrier between you and the game server provider that blocks it. HTH Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nathanstenzel Report post Posted April 13, 2010 Try posting the results of "traceroute -p 2000 game.eternal-lands.com". That will give us more accurate results. Meanwhile, I wonder if Radu would ever consider having two different ports open per server for the game so that if one fails, we could have the client attempt the other port. Maybe that is something I should suggest in the Suggestions thread though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nathanstenzel Report post Posted April 13, 2010 (edited) Considering this "traceroute 83.167.55.93 -p 2000"....or for 2001 or 2002 or 2040.... gets me a reply for all but 83.167.55.93, I am sure they are the problem. They are ignoring all sorts of ports for traceroute requests. In other words, "Neo Telecoms S.A.S." SUCKS! This here, I guess may say it all: "source: RIPE # Filtered" I may be wrong and that is not related, but I say we flip Neo Telecoms SAS the bird. Yes, they are the french internet backbone listed above. To make sure I am not wrong here (which I might be since I was tracerouting them in particular), you try the traceroute with -p 2000. If you compare the results with and without "-p 2000", you will see the culprit pretty clearly. Edited April 13, 2010 by nathanstenzel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erurainon Report post Posted April 14, 2010 Sadly, I am not able to resolve my connection problems with my ISP at this point. I believe some carrier between me and the game server provider is blocking port 2000. However, I did find a temporary solution that may also work for those of us in Canada. I found a free dial-up servce that uses my old ISP Bell/Sympatico. CdotFree http://cdotfree.com/ has numerous local dial-up phone numbers. Choose one that is closest to your city. Be sure that you dial a local number as long distance chages apply! The only downfall is that they place a banner at the top of your desktop for advertising purposes and track the sites you visit. It is Windows based. If this service is not for you then don't use it! I use a desktop switcher so I don't have to look at the banner. If I choose to I can set up my Windows machine as a gateway server for my Linux box. Either way I can now play EL ( on dial-up ) untill I can resolve my highspeed connection problems with my ISP. Hope this helps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope this helps. Issues like this is also one reason I have my Premium Proxy Service, there is a $5/mth or $30/yr fee, but that does cover up to 5 chars from one household. I just encourage everyone to try to resolve the problem first if possible, instead of me selling my service. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
