Go into start menu>run .. type in

services.msc

find Windows Firewall and right click, click properties, change Automatic to Disabled

Find UPnP and do the same thing..

also if you are using a Logitech mouse, go to Start>Run and type in

msconfig

go to Startup tab and uncheck anything with a path pointing to mouse or Logitech

restart machine.

Also when playing online on Gamespy Arcade or Dynaverse, make sure that you turn your Anti-Virus off.. it may be corrupting packets..

Also when installing the game or the patches and directory server fix, that you installed all of this with Anti-Virus disabled.. Anti-Virus programs are known to corrupt the patch/fix installers and sometimes even the game install itself.

Finally when installing the Directory Server Fix, make sure it is pointing to your game install directory.. sometimes the fix does not go to the correct directory.

I did the first two thing on your list and still having trouble, I do have a private IP#.

Not familiar with Vista but if it is like XP, verify the "Allow Exceptions" in the firewall. Somehow mine had changed settings and it took me forever to figure it out as it was unsuspected. I did a GSA update as recommended as well.

he's not on windows vista, he has XP. I know because he is a RL friend of mine. In any case, i know we already fiddled with his firewall a little including disabling it, but he still can't seem to get on.

Does the fact that he has a private IP address matter? Could that be whats keeping him from getting on?

EDIT

I read over the info in that link about private IP addresses, but wasn't really able to get a full understanding of what exactly they are, or if it would be whats causing him problems

Ding! Correct.

Qwest DSL huh? I'm looking at the public IP... question is what kind of dsl modem does he have and how is it configured?

http://www.dslreports.com/faq/11981 (hopefully it is not this one).

Bluefoxp,

run an "ipconfig /all" at the command prompt copy and paste all the output into a PM to me (right click the menu bar at the top of the command window for edit commands)

Also, specify exactly what make and model of dsl modem you have and how your computer is connected to it (usb or ethernet).

We'll go from there.

Taking the server down for a little maintenance.

Bonk · « **Reply #105 on:** January 27, 2009, 05:06:08 pm »

Server is back up. Mission names off, more carriers (?), db cleaned.

Had some GGs today vs Dangermouse.

Had Hand of Bethke just now (when the enemy ship exploded, so did I, even though I was completely undamged)...
Had to alt, sorry Bonk.

Had it also happen to me once just the other day. Alpha struck the enemy and we both popped. Bites losing all the PP I used to get the darn ship. Ah well. Didn't have to alt out so it shouldn't have had any effect on the game.

Pull the raid mission please. It's broke. capture/destroy the convoy and it says mission complete. Get to the board for 300 points and find that you have lost the mission and no dv shift. It's all we are pulling on the planet we were attacking.

deadmansix · « **Reply #110 on:** January 30, 2009, 11:43:52 pm »

I agree the Raid mission is a bad mission,pull it please.

KBFLordKrueg · « **Reply #111 on:** January 31, 2009, 01:48:30 am »

Hm, never tried to cap on the Raid mission, worked good for me, but, if it has issues...
Maybe we could get a DB clean tho.
All those silly AI icons making it difficult for us to hunt.

Had some just outstanding PvP matches this wekk, GGs all!

Where's the Fed SCS? The CVA is nice, but it doesn't have that extra little bang that the SCS does.

After reviewing the vessel library, It comes out in 2286. Kina looks like the BBV would be better. Only 4 less fighters but lot's more weapons and power.
Just IMOHPO, of course.

One mission yank and one db clean comin up...

Bonk · « **Reply #115 on:** February 04, 2009, 03:42:08 pm »

Met_11ConvoyRaid.scr pulled, db cleaned, server back up (was down for 12 minutes).

Bonk · « **Reply #116 on:** February 04, 2009, 03:43:51 pm »

Oh no, wait, there's a NW convoy raid too... Met_NW7ConvoyRaid.scr

I bet that was the one, not the stock one...?

KBFLordKrueg · « **Reply #117 on:** February 04, 2009, 03:53:33 pm »

The mission I think he was talking about is called just "Raid". It only generates on planets. You have to kill all the enemy ships, but do not have to take the moon.
Kurok and I just ran about a half a dozen of them today together and had no issues, got a DV shift, PP, etc, so donno.
Sure that wasn't the day I was doing Grandpa duty while sitting there in my Lyran account?
You 2 were hitting the Rom planet at 10,28. First just Gen Ganja, then both of you.
I would watch you run a couple missions, jump into my Klingon acct with a D5D, run a couple 2 miin missions under ya, then jump back into my Lyran acct before you and Gen Ganja came out, and I did that for hours, so you guys never did take the planet until later, after I finally logged off.
If you posted that the same day, I think it was indeed the day that happened.

Maybe it wasn't the mission...?

I've just never had any problems with Raid, and I've run a heckofa lot of them on the Forge.

Bonk · « **Reply #118 on:** February 04, 2009, 04:01:17 pm »

Oh. Well I've pulled the NW7ConvoyRaid.scr for now. If that turns out not to be the one, then I'll put it back in, and turn mission names back on until we identify the filename of the problem script.

Unfortunate, since CR is a great money maker, but not a big deal at this point.
Thanks for your continuing efforts, sir.
