|
|
Okay guys, I'm not a newb, and this is irritating me the last couple of days. So, I turn to my fellow quake developer/tech guys for help. So, here goes.
ONLY when I fire-up quake (qrack, darkplaces, fitz, proquake netquake) using port 26000++ i cannot connect. (Winsows XP Pro) In ezQuake, Hlaflife2, FireFox everything else is open. I've checked my firewall settings, everything. My other partition for Windows 7 DOES load up my exact quake install and connects just fine.
This isnt a SETUP problem as it's been fine for the last entire year, just one day i booted up and poof...
Any suggestions? |

Have you applied some service pack lately ? I remember one of these (can't remember if SP2 or SP3) closing everything in the built-in firewall. _________________ frag.machine - Q2K4 Project

Without thinking, what about your router or Windows firewall.
NetQuake uses a lot more ports than 26000 so if you have forwarded router ports you might be missing part of the handshake.
As far as I know this problem should not apply to QuakeWorld.
Try connecting to quake.ihoc.net:26000, I bet it works regardless of your settings. _________________ Tomorrow Never Dies. I feel this Tomorrow knocking on the door ... |

The only piece of software I have installed reciently was Norton Internet Security. I believe it might be the problem as it became unstable and would crash. Currently its partially installed as the uninstaller crashes before everything is removed. So I have some services that are loading yet the main module isnt active. So, basically I may just reinstall windows (ack) or switch to using windows 7 mainly.  |

Resolved, I had to manually by hand rip out norton. Now everything is working. Norton Internet Security is truly a bitch to uninstall.
Thanks guys for the help, now i can go back to playing Quake. |
