Why re-install? You don't think I'm dumb enough not to know what I personally turned off, do you? I'll just re-enable. I personally disabled the stuff. I got the web page from TechTV. I couldn't connect to Dyna before I started messing around with the Windows install. Also, the only thing not working is OP. America's Army, Diablo2, BF Vietnam, BF1942, Ghost Recon, Call of Duty, Tiger Woods 2003, Norton, Zone Alarm, and the entire Microsoft Office suite work just fine.

Perhaps I'll reinstall from scratch later, but, frankly its not an option until at least Monday. I'm also not sure if it is worth it to get one game working.

Unfortunately none, not a single one, nada, not any of the programs you listed connect for muliplayer in the same way as OP. The best comparison you can make is if you can do what I said to try in GSA. I'm not going to bet the sheep station, but I will put a six-pack down and say that you've screwed up ICS.

Well, I've got a fresh install now. With SP2. I'll try it out in a bit.

The_Joker · « **Reply #42 on:** August 14, 2004, 11:07:51 pm »

Well, I did the following:

1) Install Windows Updates (SP2)
2) skipped Norton AV
3) Install OP
4) Update OP
4) Edit the file for Dyna IP
5) Make Sure Windows Firewall is OFF first time you run OP. If OP works, you have option to configure it later.
6) Open OP --See if you can hit Dyna.

Tried both ways of editing the WONServerSetup.gf file.

Nothing.

But, yes, I can host and create rooms in GSA. Only Dyna isn't working correctly.

So you reformatted and started from scratch?

The_Joker · « **Reply #44 on:** August 14, 2004, 11:32:01 pm »

yep

Only thing currently on my HD is Windows XP SP2 (after a clean format) and Orion Pirates 2.5.5.2 with OPPlus 3.3 and EZini.

OK, do this:

1)Type out the error in the Dyna right now for us here.
2) Edit the ip file to have the WRONG ip.
3) Go in OP and see what error you get now. They should be Different. Type it here

One error type means no comunication from Directory Server other error means no internet communication. Let narrow this down now.

I have no more idea's except for simple errors like having the 2525 patch instead of the 2552.

The_Joker · « **Reply #47 on:** August 14, 2004, 11:54:39 pm »

OK.....

First I used this File:

Name="ServerSetup"

[Settings]
SingleThreaded = 1
CreateCentralSwitch = 0
SinglePlayer = 0
BlockSize             = 10000 // How many micro-seconds to spend on server side stuff before doing page flip
DelayMultiple          = 1.0   // What multiple of time to wait before going back to server side stuff
PacketQueLimit         = 75    // What

[CentralSwitchSetup]
Listen = 0

[WONDirectoryServer]
//ServerPath = "/StarFleetCommand2/Game/Release"
ServerPath = "/StarFleetCommand2/Game/Release"
//ServerPath = "/StarFleetCommand2/Game/Release_Test"

[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"

[Clients]
ChatClient            = 1
SecurityClient         = 1

[Launch]

and I got this message:

A firewall has been detected or you are not online.
=================================================================
Failed to locate the directory servers. Please check your connection or talk to your System Administrator.
=================================================================
Gamespy patch check complete.
=================================================================
Getting the messages of the day...

=================================================================
Welcome to online Dynaverse II.

So then I tried this: (note its the original file)

Name="ServerSetup"

[Settings]
SingleThreaded = 1
CreateCentralSwitch = 0
SinglePlayer = 0
BlockSize             = 10000 // How many micro-seconds to spend on server side stuff before doing page flip
DelayMultiple          = 1.0   // What multiple of time to wait before going back to server side stuff
PacketQueLimit         = 75    // What

[CentralSwitchSetup]
Listen = 0

[WONDirectoryServer]
//ServerPath = "/StarFleetCommand2/Game/Release"
ServerPath = "/StarFleetCommand2/Game/Release"
//ServerPath = "/StarFleetCommand2/Game/Release_Test"

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

[Clients]
ChatClient            = 1
SecurityClient         = 1

[Launch]

And.....it worked.
My question is.....WTF?????

Strat · « **Reply #48 on:** August 14, 2004, 11:56:59 pm »

Thats just wierd... Do you see all the games?

The_Joker · « **Reply #49 on:** August 14, 2004, 11:59:19 pm »

I see the test GW3 server, A GFL server and two others.

I don't have the necessary scripts and or shiplists for the test server or one of the others, but I had no problem logging onto the GFL server.

Strat · « **Reply #50 on:** August 15, 2004, 12:02:44 am »

Wellllll, that rediculous. Only explination I have is that origional servers are running or something, or are forwarding to new ones.

Since it works, leave it! lol

Now pop in AV, Firewall and do whatever you want. But you know now that your OP is working

Cleaven · « **Reply #51 on:** August 15, 2004, 12:03:16 am »

But .... it can't work with the old Taldren address.

The_Joker · « **Reply #52 on:** August 15, 2004, 12:06:14 am »

And yet......

I'm not going to look a gift Romulan in the ears, personally.

Strat · « **Reply #53 on:** August 15, 2004, 12:07:55 am »

Ping it, it resolve to an 208.57.228.3.

Nothing close to Dynaverse IP.

The IP is alive. I could play with it, and see whats up, but I'm lazy and not going to

KEWL! Ya made it then! See threads here to download the GW 3 test missions and shiplist, nice handy installer with uninstaller inculed. However, in the next day or 2 the installer will change because of some adjusting, you may wish to watch these forums for it instead.

I was just looking for info about GW3, I'm waiting for the thing to start

KBFLordKrueg · « **Reply #56 on:** August 15, 2004, 12:14:55 am »

The_Joker · « **Reply #58 on:** August 15, 2004, 12:28:07 am »

KBFLordKrueg · « **Reply #59 on:** August 15, 2004, 12:41:50 am »

Um..if you can get to the point that you can see the servers you mentioned, I think you've got it right, sir.
