"cannot reach the server"

Post by pcalligaris »

using 2 machines with Ubuntu 11.04 the server's game starts without host.
After 1 minute the host reports: "cannot reach the server".
the LAN is ok, tested.
I'm very sad... :-(
If you can give me some support it will be very appreciated.


thanks

You could try giving Freecraft a go and seeing it the same problem occurs.

I'd recommend Wargus 2.2.5 or slightly earlier before going all the way back to FreeCraft

However my main recommendation would be to go into your Router Settings and see if you have the ports neccessary for the game unblocked.

There may be documentation as to what ports are needed, but if not, you may have to look through the code to see.

Alternately, you can fire up WireShark and sniff the ports yourself.

Having the same problem here with 2.2.6 installed on OS X Lion (mac) playing through WINE (is there any other way on a mac?)

2.2.4 works great for us for years now with the above configuration...

2.2.6 looks (and sounds) smokin' , except when it comes time to connect multiplayer.

Would love to upgrade to something newer than 2.2.4 some day, any help out there?
