Dynaverse II Issues for Orion pirates
(1/4) > >>
Riskyllama:
Hello all.
First I'd like to thank all of you guys who have contributed to helping keep this great game alive. I've used quite a few of y'alls things at home playing with friends on LANs, but now I'm attempting to enter the realm of Dynaverse. Unfortunately, I have failed in my attempts. I'm getting the firewall/lack of connection message when I attempt to enter Dynaverse. I probably screwed something up, and decided that this was probably the best spot to get help for it.  Thanks for your help in advance, Riskyllama.

System Specs~~AMD Athalon 2700+ 1Gig Ram
Operating system and update Service Pack version~~Windows XP SP2
DirectX version~~9.0c
Game title : there are 2 SFC games with Dynaverse II~~Orion Pirates, but I'd prolly have the same luck with my copy of EAW
Patch version of the game~~2.5.5.2
Internet Connection type~~Bellsouth DSL Lite(256/128)
Do you have a router?~~router functions built into the modem(WireSpeed Dual Connect), I'm pretty sure I opened all the ports listed in the thread  here: http://www.dynaverse.net/forum/index.php/topic,163349163.0.html
Do you have a firewall?~~Window's SP2 firewall, but it was turned off to no avail
Riskyllama:
Update: In all but one attempt, I've gotten the message that I'm behind a firewall or my connnection is down. On that one time I get through I see about four servers, and decide to see what this AOTK2 is like. I try joining it and realize I'll need the AOTKK files...I get off OP, grab them, and while having changed nothing, on the next login, I can't get past the Dynaverse login screen..

Since then, I've tried firewall on, firewall off, DMZed with firewall, even once (really really quickly) DMZed without firewall..they all say I'm behind a firewall or my connection is down...
Bonk:
Odd, I can ping your current IP address at an average 81ms - a good thing...

You running any anti-virus software? (both Mcafee and Norton can filter IP traffic)

I had a situation once where McAfee unpredictably interfered with serial communications to instruments...

Try disabling the DMZ feature of your router/modem altogther?
Bonk:
Also, occasionally the directory server may be disconnected for network service.
Check this thread for the status: D.Net Directory Services Status and Outages Thread

It should currently be up... I'll check with my OP client here shortly...
Riskyllama:
I get no reading on it right now.
As for antivirus, I've got AVG, but my one successful attempt logging on, it was running.
And shutting it off just now didnt help.
