FooBar can't connect to his server!
« on: March 27, 2007, 03:58:02 pm »
Hey all!

Kind of funny that I would be posting asking for advice, but here's my situation.

My server, Avalanche, is in Rochester NY.  I am visiting my parents in Maine.  I can't connect to my server.  Other servers show up in the master list, but my server does not; and when I add it to 'favorites' and try to connect manually, I can't connect... it's like there's nothing there.  However, I KNOW that the server is running and other people are playing.

Avalanche runs on a Linux box running Ubuntu Edgy.  The server is set up perfectly -- in fact, it's running right now.  It shows up on tremmaster.quakedev.net with players connected.  I can SSH into the server, log on as myself, and actually watch the console in real-time (I use 'screen'), and people are logged-in and playing.

As far as I can tell it's running fine.

BUT-- I can't connect from here in Tremulous.  I can't see it in the master list.

What's wrong?  What am I missing?  I can't imagine my ping is too high...

/connect 74.67.178.121:31337

Try that in the console, it should be a little more informative. Other than that (and given that you can ssh it) I really don't know what else to suggest.

This is assuming that by connect manually you meant with the Favourites menu... favourites never seem to work for me.

Yeah, by connect manually I meant the favorites menu.  Favorites usually works well for me.

I tried the /connect command, and it didn't connect.  Here's the relevant bit of console log:
Code: [Select]
]/connect 74.67.178.121:31337
Resolving master.tremulous.net
master.tremulous.net resolved to 72.36.226.187:30710
74.67.178.121:31337 resolved to 74.67.178.121:31337

ERROR: Disconnected from server

Hunk_Clear: reset the hunk ok
As you can see, this is not very helpful.  I checked, and "ERROR: Disconnected from server" is basically what happens when there's no server there to connect to.  I don't know.  For some reason, although I can ssh to my server, and other people can connect to it via Tremulous, I can't.  This is very, very weird.

BTW, I've said it before, but I CAN connect to other servers and they show up fine in my list.  It might be that there are other servers that should show up and don't, but if there are I don't know about them.  :)

your server is on port 31337....
Are any other servers on that port?
If so, can you connect to them?

Well, I'm on my way home now.  I'm currently at JFK airport in New York City, and from here I can connect fine (using JetBlue's free wireless, yeah!).  So it must be related to the ISP I was using in Maine, or something.  No way to find out now.  :P Thanks for the advice, all!
