LotN is Officially Back on Gamespy
Tis a time of rejoice, ladies and gentlemen! With the purchase of a new router for the server, LotN once again shows up on the Gamespy listings!
Tell all your friends, and call the neighbors, its easy for the aimless stranger to find us once again :D
Someone should dedicate a poem or something to this occasion...
-
It's like LotN was trapped in its own little pocket universe. Now we'll have fresh meat! Yay!!! :D
-
Server party? I'll bring the beer, hookers, and...well lets not spoil things.
-
Yaaay! After so much trouble with it never showing up on GameSpy between hosts (And for so much longer this time around...), we're finally back! So, when's the party? Did I miss it? (Dang those early hours for me!)
Just one thing... Can someone update the Direct Connect link for the new IP? >.>
-
Did you set up the dyndns for your new router?
-
Well I got in to add the DYNDNS account info and rebooted your router and now the server isn't showing on gamespy. I don't have the new password for your router so uhh.. it's in limbo again until you wake up.

I'm wondering if there's something about the nwn.lotn.info link that's causing it to not be broadcast over GameSpy. Should we go without it, if it's causing the problem? I don't mind having to change the direct connection IP now and then, if it means keeping it up and broadcasting.
EDIT: ... or maybe it's because the server is currently down, since the link isn't working still.
-
Okay I fixed it. No more touchie!

You don't want me to touch my own computer? This seems terribly unfair.

Oh I was joking :P *hugs Kattze*
-
I'm glad we're back on the Gamespy
So the aimless stranger might give us a try
But they might have difficulty trying to play
Since the server was down both last night & today
Hopefully there's no catastrophic reason why
-
haha, Polk gets a gold star.
-
Not sure What to say about it being down as you say. Whenever i check on it its fine and happy.
-
Not trying to be overly critical but it crashed (or at least appeared to) out yesterday afternoon while I was playing & I haven't been able to get back on since. Could be that the problem is on my end...is the shortcut changed somehow?
-
I have not been able to log in at all since the beginning of Polk's time frame, as well.
-
Strange and annoying. I am completely able to log in, and i can see it in the gamespy menus. What kind of error message, if any, are you getting?
-
Currently, we're just getting timed out. "Server is not responding." Other than that, whenever we did get on, the latency was pretty bad (We're talking 40 seconds to say something).
I remember Outcast mentioning the right ports need to be opened as well, since you did swap routers. Have you tried that?
-
I think I have a long-term fix in place. Try it now!

Joinable now. However, we're still getting the -very bad- latency whenever connecting and playing...
-
Lag stopped me from leaving the South Woods area. My character kept reappearing at the bottom of the map each time I reached the top end.
-
23rd has come and shone. I cant tell whether the server is still lagging or not. Anyone want to take a look and let me know?
-
The game is pretty unresponsive with some lag too. The Ping thingy was 909 when I went on which is pretty bad for playing NWN on this computer.
-
I haven't noticed any change. Still can't direct connect, and like Feal said, lots of ping on Game Spy.
-
It's most likely your router. I got a 400 ping to your router FROM crabcakes, then 1400 ping to sydney location on another attempt, etc... but it's intermittent. I would try doing a tracert from your other computers to confirm it's the router and not just the network cable.

When you wake up Joc, try this on your regular computer.
Start> Run > type in "cmd" and press return.
This should open a mini black screen with a command line. If it doesn't, type in cmd.exe instead of just cmd. I forget what windows you are running!
type this into the command line:
ping -n 50 192.168.1.1
Go get a drink for a minute then come back. You should have a report. If it looks like this:
Ping statistics for 192.168.1.1:
Packets: Sent = 50, Received = 50, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 1ms, Maximum = 357ms, Average = 32msthen I'd say you might have a lemon router :\

Dammit...
If i may answer my own question:
Joc, you plug your network cable in, dumbass!
Doing it properly, it ends up like the first one you said makes my router lemony. Does that mean i wasted money? Its past the date i can return it dissatisfied >.<
-
Best to get tsu to give you the professional news. Sounds like it to me :(
-
So what's our response to this? Do i pawn that router and go back to the old lag-free no-gamespy one until i can get a third one?
-
If you were in the US, I would say try a firmware update. But the firmware version listed on your router appears to be Aussified. Where did you acquire the router? If it was from your ISP, call their tech support and bitch. Tell them you need the firmware re-flashed. If it was from somebody else, well, I guess you'll have to read the manual and see if there's an Australia-specific tech support line for the product. I have definitely seen firmware updates fix problems just like this, so I really think you need to try it.
-
Noone in Australia buys d link anymore for a reason :(
-
Okay, i've switched back to the old router because the D-link stopped giving me internet at all. Its amazing how mad you can get at bits of plastic. The lag should be gone, but we are no longer open to espionage. I'll try and get something else that doesnt make me rage.
-
The router might need to be set up with the DNS again, since both addresses aren't connecting to the server. Otherwise, we'll need the IP for the server for the time being.
Sorry to hear the new router didn't work out. Maybe next time, huh? Also, thanks for all the hard work trying to get the server to work and show up on GameSpy properly. I'm eager to hop on and be able to play. :D
-
I changed the port forwarding to crabcakes IP and enabled direct connect. You'll be able to log in now.
-
Looks like the IP wasn't locked. NWOutcast messaged me that the server was down. I logged in remotely and found the IP problem. I found in that stupid Thomson router where to assign an IP on permanent lease, and redid the application portmapping setup. It still won't show on Gamespy, but it's up on direct-connect again.
-
Ugh
-
Moo....I cant direct connect...
