Problem connecting to server

Post by tombom »

I posted this in Help/Bugs because I doubt all the servers are down.

When I connect on this computer I get

Code: Select all

 
[09:28:25] Connecting to taspringmaster.clan-sy.com ...
[09:28:25] Cannot connect to server!
[09:28:25] Trying next host in the list ...
[09:28:29] Connecting to filehamster.net ...
[09:28:29] Cannot connect to server!
[09:28:29] Trying next host in the list ...
[09:28:29] Connecting to cheetah.sentvid.org ...
[09:28:29] Cannot connect to server!
[09:28:29] Trying next host in the list ...
[09:28:29] Connecting to localhost ...
[09:28:30] Cannot connect to server!
It goes through the list really fast and doesn't connect to any. I connected the first time to download the update but now nothing works. I've tried installing the full version as well.

ignore me, it's a firewall problem

I'm getting a similar issue. The read me says open 8452UDP, so I do. Then after looking at it with a netMon packet trace, it's done over TCP? :? And the Two jst seem to send a packet of "ping" to eachother for a bit, before stopping and the client saying "Connection to server closed!" right under "Connection established to taspringmaster.clan-sy.com".

Full thing:
[7:57:59 PM] Connecting to taspringmaster.clan-sy.com ...
[7:57:59 PM] Connection established to taspringmaster.clan-sy.com
[7:58:20 PM] Connection to server closed!

The connection to the master server is TCP on port 8200 (but outgoing so no need to open incoming ports). The connections between multiple spring instances (ie. in game) is UDP on (usually) port 8452. For this you need to open port if you want to host (without one of the NAT traversal methods).
