Topic: Dynaverse 2 for OP... why can I not get in there!!! (Read 7950 times)

RockoWillis · « **on:** December 12, 2003, 11:56:34 am »

Hello all from way out in CA at a little known Naval Air Station just outside the city of Lemoore... (yeah I know.. Lemoore?? Where the $%^& is that at....?) Anyways..... I am having some screwy log in info since I have never played OP on Dyna... I am getting the standard "welcome to online Dyna", "Checking for patch" and "getting the messages of the day" stuff but i also get the game spy message.. (thats no biggie) but I am getting "Failed to locate the Directory Servers. Please check your connection or talk to your System Admin." and "A firewall has been detected or you are not online. You are unable to log on" messages... well i must be on-line since I am posting this messege !

I currently have WinXP Home on a HP 1.3MHz cpu with 256MB RAM and a ATI Radeon 7700 (yeah I know it is a old as dirt Video Card but hey it works for the time being as I scratch build my new system... crossing fingers) with all the patches and updates to the OS and the 2052 OP patch from a fresh CD install (i think that is the correct patch #). I made sure the desktop short cut was directed at the StarfleetOP.exe file and made sure to tell it what diectory it was in too... I also disabled the Universal Plug and Play thing as recomended by the readme.txt file in the game directory.... Is the dyna down for some reason? do i need a DX9 patch for OP (since i have the latest DX9) I have looked through so many post that I am going bug eyed (though I most likely missed the one post that answered all my questions)

Any help, or whatnot would be greatly apreciated.... and thanks from this old fart that STILL has a COMPLETE StarFleet Battles Boxed "Book Shelf" edition of the game.... woohoo!!!

Do you have the Internall Firewall with Xp turned off?

Also, Does anyone know if the servers are up? I'm guessing they are since I've heard alot of traffic over in the D2 forums.

Same issue with me. Same login problem. I thought I was the only one. I am all patched, run straight DMZ and still can't figure out why I can't get in ... It starting to bug me now.

I'm beginning to think there are no servers for OP, and maybe that's the issue.

I can get into D-3 patched, pre-patched and modded ... I was looking forward to playing OP Dynaverse, too.

And you know how I am about my computer. It's a lean, mean machine I update daily ...

Yip, I get into EAW just fine. Same message, minus the extra one from OP. Last time I did EAW there were two servers in there ... So I'm thinking that there are NO OP servers, which is why we are getting this message.

Goto "My Home" at the top of the page, then "Personal Information" at the bottom of the following page. You shoudl see a link space for your own personal avatar.

Hmmm DSL... These kind of problems are almost always DSL related. (Yet another reason why Cable Hispeed is superior!:p) Here is a wacky idea, does your modem have an USB connection port? (most do) try using that to connect to your computer. I have heard of reports where the DSL modem has some internal trickery that can only be circumvented by the USB connector.
Like I said,, a wacky idea. but what have you gotten to lose? Except more hair.

If I understand this right..... DSL cable comes to DSL Modem (the little Black Box) then goes from that to my net/lan card (or whatever its friggin called lol)... you want me to disconect it from my "ethernet card" and hok it up to my dial modem?? or am i just being a noob??

OK here is what i got for my DSL box..... it is a Tut Sytems "Long Run" (what a friggin odd name.... at least it is made in the USA...) It has 4 connections...

#1 Power Conection (yeah figured that one out all on my own...)

Unless I'm mistaken, you don't need the Ethernet card with the DSL modem, so it just goes into your computer. I was having so much trouble with the two conflicting I removed my Ethernet card completely and deleted the drivers. Haven't had a problem since.

Sten · « **Reply #27 on:** December 13, 2003, 10:04:12 am »

The weird part is EAW and OP use the same ports. So if you can log into an EAW server you should be able to log into an OP server.

As far as using the DMZ on your router. using the DMZ means you are placing your computer in the open and exposing it directly to the internet. When placed in the DMZ you do not have to worry about port forwarding. You just need to ensure that you have Printer and File sharing disabled or run a Firewall on your computer.

Port forwarding varies from router to router. Without a model its hard to tell you how to configure your port forwarding.

Two utilities I found helpful DXPORT and Port Magic. Port Magic is easier. I ran it on my daughters computer when I got tired of reconfiguring my router whenever she got oline to game. Port Magic is fairly easy to use. It will do the port forwarding for you.

Again if you can get into an EAW server then you should be able to get into an OP server.

RockoWillis · « **Reply #30 on:** December 13, 2003, 11:08:46 am »

Well I just D/L'ed Port Magic and gave it a spin... and gues what IT said... and I quote this exactly.....

"Port Magic did not detect a residential gateway connected to your computer. In order to use Port Magic, you must have a residential gateway connected. Please make sure that your gateway is on the list of supported Internet Gateways and is connected properly to your PC."

Does "Residential Gateway" = DSL Modem???

It gave a list of supported "Internet Gateways" are these Modems? I think I need to go to Personal Computing 101...

Yep... right-click your IE icon, select properties, security tab, and slide the little slider bar all the way down to LOW.

GOD I actually tried this on a whim...

btw i have tried Strayy's Tavern 2 server but for some reason I timed out gonna set up for Badlands and Empires... hope I do not time out on those... if I do then somehting else is screwing with me.

I wanted to make three copies of the game so that I could play on three different servers since they have different requirements that I DELETED all the copies of the game I had on the HD and did a fresh CD install then patched it to 2552..... now I CANNOT get back into the OP Dyna!!!!!!!

Rocko

Ahhh Gawd... why do I do this to myself!

RockoWillis · « **Reply #38 on:** December 14, 2003, 02:13:47 pm »

Thanks 3.14... I just tried that on a whim.. a "ah what the hell" kinda thing though now i still get the same messege... I think it is one of two things that are doing it for OP... either it is the latency of my ISP (maybe there are tighter protocols that EAW) or its that little GSA incoming hail about 13 year olds and the emails.... there is two buttons on that Hail... exit and enter/agree if i remeber right... if i can click it i get in... but 9 out 100 tries it cannot be clicked on... the button is there but no button clicking is allowed.... now if i can get past my problems with sfc3 locking up during the DirectPlay test i will be good there too.... it times out and locks my PC up hard when it gets down to 30 secs.

I have killed my firewall and set my IE to low and basically I am letting anything and everything come and go... I did read something on another post that said the game does not support ATI's Catalyst 3.8 or 3.9 (I have 3.9 of course) and the highest it will use/support is 3.7...

Intersting Idea... but my modem does not have any USB ports and that big DSL cable only goes one place... yup my eather net card..... maybe I should go buy my own modem and kill the eathernet card? I understand I have to have the Modem but no card but it will not work the other way?

Well if I understand him correctly, he had his IE security set too high.

Yep... right-click your IE icon, select properties, security tab, and slide the little slider bar all the way down to LOW.

GOD I actually tried this on a whim...

btw i have tried Strayy's Tavern 2 server but for some reason I timed out gonna set up for Badlands and Empires... hope I do not time out on those... if I do then somehting else is screwing with me.

OMG OMG OMG... I totally screwed the pooch!

I wanted to make three copies of the game so that I could play on three different servers since they have different requirements that I DELETED all the copies of the game I had on the HD and did a fresh CD install then patched it to 2552..... now I CANNOT get back into the OP Dyna!!!!!!!

Ahhh Gawd... why do I do this to myself!

Thanks 3.14... I just tried that on a whim.. a "ah what the hell" kinda thing though now i still get the same messege... I think it is one of two things that are doing it for OP... either it is the latency of my ISP (maybe there are tighter protocols that EAW) or its that little GSA incoming hail about 13 year olds and the emails.... there is two buttons on that Hail... exit and enter/agree if i remeber right... if i can click it i get in... but 9 out 100 tries it cannot be clicked on... the button is there but no button clicking is allowed.... now if i can get past my problems with sfc3 locking up during the DirectPlay test i will be good there too.... it times out and locks my PC up hard when it gets down to 30 secs.

Wow, I have never been able to get into dyna2 for OP either after I had gotten cable modem and a new computer. I couldn't seem to locate the info needed regarding firewalls, DMZs, NAT etc etc. I am going to try setting the IE security to low tonight and see if I can get in too.

I have killed my firewall and set my IE to low and basically I am letting anything and everything come and go... I did read something on another post that said the game does not support ATI's Catalyst 3.8 or 3.9 (I have 3.9 of course) and the highest it will use/support is 3.7... I wonder if this will work for me....

Intersting Idea... but my modem does not have any USB ports and that big DSL cable only goes one place... yup my eather net card..... maybe I should go buy my own modem and kill the eathernet card? I understand I have to have the Modem but no card but it will not work the other way?
