Uh, yeah. I seem to have a wonderful ability to not connect to WOL/XWIS.
I have reinstalled the game, applied the 1037 patch, installed RenGuard, installed core patches in that order, along with that scripts thing mentioned in the FAQ. There's no firewall to mess things up and I'm running XP SP2. I don't see what else I should mention.
Please help. :/

What does the MOTD say when you connect?
Also check the file "hosts" in directory C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC . Open it with notepad.
If there's an extra line in there, under or above "127.0.0.1 localhost", then post your hosts-file in this subforum so we can help you out.
In worst case you'll need to reinstall WOL or even the complete game.

I don't get a message, just "Unable to connect to Westwood Online".
In hosts, there's nothing besides "127.0.0.1 localhost", but in a file called hosts.bak there's one billion zillion extra lines, should I post that one instead?
I could try reinstalling WOL I guess. Edit: That didn't work.

No, that .bak should be useless. Did you check if windows firewall didn't turn itself on? It tends to do that for no apparant reason =/.

My brother found a virus that could turn windows firewall off via the command line, it stands to reason that MS probably have it written in their updates to turn it on via the command line, or that applications that offer to "add themselves to the windows firewall exception list" (modern games, in other words) turn it on when they do that. Anyway, that's probably HOW it's turned on...
Renguard is a wonderful initiative

I hope they can :-S. It still sounds like a firewall'ish problem to me, as you can ping the adress but the game can't seem to reach it :-S.

Just wondering, should the port number be set to anything specific? I noticed that the default value was 0, and tried 1000. It still didn't work though. :/
|
Huh? U can only set the port for the FDS. But we're talking about a client here, right?
