Can't join CLC

Post by MrEko »

Hi there, i dunno why but I can't join the CLC server.. When im trying to connect it says "Connecting to host" and then after a few seconds "Connection timed out". And when i search the list i can't find CLC anywhere, but i can find most of the other servers. Anyone have any ideas?

Havent played CLC for a few days now :cry:

Well I am curious can you do a few things for me, first where are you from? (Just curious distance from you to server.)

Now can you try two things first go to this site. http://www.speedtest.net Click on the recommended server, now post what your speed is, both upload and download.

Now can you also run another test, open up your command prompt from all programs, accesories, command prompt. when you open this you should get a black box, type into it ping google.ca -n 90 , exactly like this, it will do something called a ping, when that is finished it should give you several stats.

Can you tell us the average MS, and if there is any loss?

Thanks good luck with this.

Well one thing is your internet itself should be fine, those numbers and location should be ok for CLC.

Do you run any P2P programs, such as limewire, torrents, etc? If so I highly reccomend turning these off.

Also is it only CLC you have the problem with no other servers? How often do you disconnect, can you never connect?

If you can connect, I would try turning cash off !showcash when I had connection issue this helped a lot!

Of course there is always spyware, viruses, etc. Hope you have not picked up any of these, maybe when yo ugo to bed tonight leave your computer on and run a scan through..

http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

This site is great, because unlike virus scanning programs on your hard drive this is internet based, therefore it won't hide. Although if you have internet issues and can't get this to run :x .

Also this is a simple question I should have asked are you on a wired connection or wireless? either way make sure the LFS ports are open, port 63392 both UDP and TCP. I believe that is the port you can seach the main lfs site ot make sure.

Also what operating system? windows XP,Vista, Etc.

Well I am not asking you to do all these steps at the moment, but maybe some of these will help. :wink:

Try a stability ping test. Run this file from desktop for a while (1-2 mins) :
ping-t.zip
ping CLC server test

ping result.JPG
What are the times you get as an average time=XXX ??? See how mine is large but overall stable?
