European PitBoss game !

[Dandridge]

I've seen these "contacting host..." issues with bad peers, too. Could connect to the address 2 hours ago, by the way. Made my first turn then. So the address is right.

 

[buldozer]

Hmm.. well that's strange. And you're sure the address in the e-mail was correct?

Why the email adress ?

Btw i told him to step out .. so one of you guys to try to join !

 

[Stemil]

Never mind, looked it up and didn't work that way either..

 

[buldozer]

he said he had a firewall , told him to open 2056
On my router i have both 2056 (server) and 2057(my game) opened
i will send the ip just in case

 

[Stemil]

I meant the domain name.. sorry 'bout that. But there's something strange about this.. Your computer isn't even responding to ping.

The router is blocking it .. port 7

but port 2056 and 2057 are open

 

[Dandridge]

Still no luck

 

[Stemil]

I got in now.. don't know why though. Dind't change a thing

 

[buldozer]

Still no luck

Now stemil is in .. i am at the pitboss waitng every one to join

 

[dribnairb]

Well, I stepped out, and rejoined. I've now tried leaving and rejoning again and I can't even contact the host - always gets host timed out message now

BTW - I already had port 2056 open on my firewall all the time

 

[Stemil]

So it seems the game only lets in one player?

Yes its not the peers ...
I wounder if its the router ... again port 2056 , 2057 are opened

 

[Stemil]

buldozer is going to open a load of ports... try again soon Dan and drib

Well i opened them all from 2033 to the last one

I am glad only you know my IP

 

[dribnairb]

Well, I've just tried opening every port to my machine (not really a good idea but should prove it one way or the other), and i still can't connect

 

[Dandridge]

yeah, still stuck at contacting host...

 

[dribnairb]

Just a thought - are all the open ports for both UDP and TCP? Civ4 uses UDP for most things but I've got a feeling it may use TCP for initial connections etc and switch to UDP for the gameplay.

Is anyone actually in the game at the moment?

Well with my Router i am just NAting so i give the port range and the private IP adress.

Stemil is in the game , thats why you cant connect i asume .. strange seems Pitboss accepts only one outside connection

There is one user who had similiar problem
