Hello,

I have post the same in french forum http://www.uthgard.the-bart.org/modules ... pic&t=4160 and after a /callgm, a GM advice to me to post here
(I'm trying to translate but my english is bad)

I am new on Uthgard, and I have a specific problem.

When that I connect myself (starting from DaoCPortal or of the line of order to address 89.238.64.166), I have a message "service unavaible)".

I asked a friend to configure on his PC a proxy TCP towards the same address, and by connecting me through this proxy I do not have a problem. (He have the same provider as me: Free)

If I use a proxy Socks with the FreeCap customer, I do not have either a problem.

In short, starting from my PC and of my game (1.87 Minotaur FR) I am able to connect me on Uthgard only while through a proxy; impossible to connect by direct access.

I captured the packets on the network at the time of a direct connection (which thus does not function) and I do not have a response to my first packet of TCP SYN (normally I should have a SYN ACK).

Maybe a firewall blocks my connection. I specify that my firewall/router does not carry out this type of break and that I exploit all the others shards with the same customer and the same PC.

Does somebody have an idea?
Thank you in advance for your contribution.

Summary

While passing by Proxy, you connect yourself by same the launcher I suppose?

I use indeed same the launcher, i.e. that I tappe the line:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\DAoC Portal\dolloader.exe" C:\Minotaur_1.86\game.dll 89.238.64.166 10300 1 {login} {password}

online or through a proxy (only connection by proxy is operational).

I think indeed that active equipment (firewall) blocks my IP address; it is the only server which seems to have this problem and my only deduction is that the Uthgard server on manitu.net blocks my connection.

Code: Select all

The test above (in ICMP) just enables me to say that routing IP seems correct to reach towards the uthgard address (certain routers do not answer ICMP, generating withdrawal periods of the request exceeded; that is normal on Internet).

I thought one moment that my address IP could be banished, but I do not think that the symptom is the same (I was never be banished but I imagine that the game launches out and that there is a message of the kind "you were banished ... good-bye").

----------------------------------

I have ask to GM for an ip ban and he say to me "no ban for your IP address"

An idea ?

it seems that there are some routing problems to german servers from other countrie i dont know if this has something to do with your connection problems but there is a defect hub in Frankfurt Germany and your connection should be laggy with many ping losses .... but it has to be really messed up if you cant connect

Hello,

I have notice a news for my problem.
When i connect to the uthgard server through a proxy, some udp packet return to my computer directly (no through proxy).
(udp packet is normal because some players positions are multicast to client with udp protocol)

My conclusion is :
there is no problem to route some packet from uthgard server to me. In opposite side i can't route packet from me to uthgard server.

any suggestions ?
