How do I set up OP for new Dyna Directory Server?
« on: July 19, 2004, 11:22:13 pm »
Well, I finally got SFC working again, turned out to be some off the wall problem screwing DirectX up.

Anyhows, I want to play in the Dyna now but I don't have it set up for new servers.
I think there was a thread about editing a text file with some new IPs, but I can't find the thread.

Can someone help me?

-Thanks

OK, I got it in, but now it just says I have a firewall, so it can't connect...

Now I do have a firewall, but its configured for SFCOP, and even gives me this massage when the firewall is disabled.  Any ideas?

Make sure the syntax is correct, no commas or quotes out of place.
it will NOT work if this is not the case.

[WONDirectoryServer/Addresses]
0="63.101.60.125:15101"
//0="sfc2.west.won.net:15101"
//1="sfc2.central.won.net:15101"
//2="sfc2.east.won.net:15101"


I'll email you my file when I get home from work tonight.

Still no go.  I know its getting the IP.  It will give a different error if I have the wrong IP in there, IE 124 instead of 125.

TURN IT OFF FOR CHRIST'S SAKE JUST TURN IT ALL THE WAY OFFF!!!!!!  (sorry)

Many claim their software firewall (zonealarm) has no effect on multiplayer SFC, I don't buy it.
I used zonelarm with SFC for a number of years - had nothing but trouble, as soon as I
stopped using it - no more wierd disconnects or crashes... imagine! (I use a router now instead)
You must be able to ping your machine from the internet - no "stealth" crap which is bad for networks anyway...

You cannot be assured that the virtual gateway that zonealarm  (or other sotware firewalls) add to your tcp/ip protocol is not messing things up, that simple... I wish everyone would turn off their software firewalls (and browse sensibly) to see how the D2 stabilises... If you are using MS's ICF then it cannot be configured for SFC (no port ranges)...

</rant>

Let us know how it goes when you have turned off ALL software firewalls, on-demand virus scanners and other resource hogs...


EDIT: oops I see you've already tried disabling the firewall - knee-jerk reaction there...

They are all off, and no Change.

I have used Norton Firewall for Years & Years with no troubles.  But just check and see, I turned it off and tried to connect... No change.

Yes. And was pinged successfully. I also tried JD's settings:

0="sfc2.west.blackfleet.net:15101"
1="sfc2.central.blackfleet.net:15101"
2="sfc2.east.blackfleet.net:15101"

When pinged they resolve to the correct IP as well.

I dunno.  I never tried.

All my other games work fine, only this one has connection issues, only only since the change.

MY IP: 208.245.18.38  I think that Norton blocks pings (or was it just Port scanns, I don't remember)

Ping me.

I'm remided of a genesis song...

Is anybody listening? woaaahh... etc.

No reply, thats a problem.  (I'd edit your IP out of your post unless it is dynamic and changing frequently.)

(sorry - got delayed on another thread... and company, hope youre not on dialup and offline now...)

What make and model is your cable modem?
Are you using a USB or ethernet connection to the cable modem?
(I reccomend a network modem)

If it is Norton firewall you are using, is it really off? I find most norton apps claim to be disabled but leave their services running, try stopping all the Norton services manually if they are not already.

Your public IP has to be pingable to play... (as well as have the right ports open)
