Title: Unable to get into FS2NetD
Post by: Rhymes on January 15, 2009, 04:56:46 pm
Hi

I just set up FS_Open and an account on FS2NetD, but when I click on the Ready Room door, I get as far as "autojoining public channel" and it doesn't move past that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

What build are you using?  I recommend trying a recent 3.6.10 build.  http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/board,173.0.html

Just downloaded the latest on the board.

Still doesn't work.   :(

Do you have a multi.cfg file in your fs2\data directory?  If so try renaming it. 

Do you have port 7808 open on your firewall? 

If neither of those work attach the multi.log file from your fs2\data directory.

Okay, I did #1, yes to #2 (i think)

It didn't work, so here's #3

Alright did you set up the network connection type in the launcher?  If it looks correct and you are using DSL try dial up for the heck of it.  If it doesn't like it set it back. 

Make sure PXO is turned on and you have your username and password entered correctly.  Hit F2 from the command deck. 

Can you attach the whole multi.log?  You should be able to under additional options when you post.

Everything's configured, and no, it didn't like dialup

Here's the log.

This one is getting over my head but I'm guessing it has to do with this:

01/17 18:05:36~   Found no RAS connections

What is your OS and how do you connect to the internet?
Title: Re: Unable to get into FS2NetD
Post by: Rhymes on January 17, 2009, 09:35:03 pm
Vista, using a wired connection (ethernet)

Post by: FUBAR-BDHR on January 17, 2009, 09:42:17 pm
What do you have set in the launcher under the network tab?
Title: Re: Unable to get into FS2NetD
Post by: Rhymes on January 17, 2009, 09:45:07 pm
LAN, and Dual channel ISDN
Title: Re: Unable to get into FS2NetD
Post by: FUBAR-BDHR on January 17, 2009, 09:51:10 pm
Shouldn't matter but try LAN and T1.  Also make sure you don't have anything in the force local port or IP. 
Title: Re: Unable to get into FS2NetD
Post by: Rhymes on January 17, 2009, 10:05:40 pm
I never put anything in the Force slot, and T1 didn't work.

Sorry other than some kind of firewall/router issue I'm out of ideas.  Hopefully someone else can figure this one out.

Double check that the 3.6.10 build really got enabled in the launcher?
Title: Re: Unable to get into FS2NetD
Post by: captain-custard on January 18, 2009, 05:08:09 am
make sure you have put all  of your fs2netd info in the pilot multiplayer settings , pilot name password etcand that you have the pxo selected

Make sure to open port 7117 in your firewall as well.

I recently had a similar issue. Using the 3.6.10 executable from Turey's launcher I could NOT get into FS2NET. I COULD get in with an older 3.6.9 exe. Also, downloading the most recent Nightly Build got me in. My buddy and I have had good bulletproof COOP success in both missions and campaigns. Too bad we both suck so badly at space combat! :lol:  Thankfully RESPAWN makes up for a lot of it... By the time I work through the Single Player campaigns, I hope my skillz approach the level of a rank amateur  :drevil:

BTW. I did have both 7808 and 7117 TCP/UDP opened in my router as did my friend.

After all this time, I finally figured out the problem.  My network card was blocking access, so once I uninstalled the drivers, it worked perfectly.
