IchiGODeLeTe Posted August 18, 2005 CID Share Posted August 18, 2005 Well I don't know if this is you peoples area of expertise but you seem to be helping me with everything so here goes. I have this game that I want to play and it wont connect and I really dont understand why everything is working for it but it just wont connect. I also have another game thats running the same system (nprotect) and it wont connect either so im guessing my router or something is blocking that. How can I fix this or forward ports for it or something? The game is Rankio or something, havent played it yet but heard its good. Its at gunbound.net their new RPG they are coming out with.

Swimmer Posted August 18, 2005 CID Share Posted August 18, 2005 i need to know what router model and brand you have.. along with both titles of the games.. most of the time there is a game mode that you can set on the newer routers.. but it isnt working we can make it so that it will..

You at least got to the dl screen I dont.. it says checking game version or something then says cannot connect and closes.. no, i meant their server to download the game is slow, i havent downloaded it yet, it's at 70%, checking game version..hmm on gunbound it usually said that and updated itself, maybe they having problems with it right now, remember, it's a beta version, are you using a router? NOOOOOOOOO!!!! it was at 82% and i cancelled it by accident FUCK!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IchiGODeLeTe Posted August 18, 2005 Author CID Share Posted August 18, 2005 Lol, maybe i dled the wrong thing.. b/c all i had to dl was a game launcher which dls the game and took like 10seconds to dl. The error I get is Can't connect to auto-download server. Please try again later. This is when I run the Softnyx Game Launcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IchiGODeLeTe Posted August 18, 2005 Author CID Share Posted August 18, 2005 How do i tell which program it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cak46 Posted August 19, 2005 CID Share Posted August 19, 2005 How do i tell which program it is? Shut all internet related programs down (IE, IM's, etc.) then get to a command prompt and type netstat. This will list what ports are open. Write these down then start the game and then run netstat again and note the differences. The newly opened ports should be the one(s) related to the game. Also, check the website of the Game Sfotware Manufacturer. They may have it in a FAQ there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IchiGODeLeTe Posted August 19, 2005 Author CID Share Posted August 19, 2005 Well thx for trying to help me but it still doesn't work, this is what reformatting does. Fixes one problem causes another one everytime for me. I used to be able to play these games fine till I reformatted now I cant and IE wont work either..

IchiGODeLeTe Posted August 19, 2005 Author CID Share Posted August 19, 2005 GUESS WAHT!!??!! I FIXED IT. Hell YES ALL ALONE!. It was the problem with my IE. That was linked to everything. Spent about 3hrs this morning just dling random windows updates and stuff uninstalling java b/c i thought I had a virus in it before so I went to go dl it again and the Online installation wouldn't work. It told me to go to Start>Control panel>Internet Options>Connections>Lan settings.. It was set to the use proxy and I was like what the hell let me change this and put it to auto detect settings. Now Everything works! IE Rakion and im guessing Mu should too. WEEEE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netmasta Posted August 19, 2005 CID Share Posted August 19, 2005 Typing netstat -b will display which .exe is using which port. Similarly typing netstat -o will display which Process ID (PID) the port is using. You can see which program is using which PID in the task manager. You may have to go to View>> Select columns and check the box for PID. Type netstat /? for more info on the netstat command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
