Can't Connect to ANY Server

daboo · #1 01-11-2003, 06:06 PM

It's now been about 4 days, that I havn't been able to connect to any server. The Server list loads just fine, but when I go to connect to a server, it freezes for about 30+ secs, and then says "The connection couldn't be established!". I've tried re-installing graal, and installing it to a different directory, but it still doesn't work. Anyone else having this problem, or any suggestions?
:grrr:

EDIT: I've sorta found the problem, it was my firewall. Though I'v been using the same brand (ZoneAlarm) for over two years now, it has never stoped me from playing Graal. It's set to allow graal to connect to the internet and act as a server too, and I havn't upgraded it, or touched any settings on it in a while. Odd, anyone else with ZoneAlarm having this problem now?

I had some problems with zone alarm too, but that was because I did not give permission to some programs, then removed za from autostart. So those programs couldn't ask for permission either X.x

Thats Exactly how I have it set, again, I have the same settings I've always had, that have worked.. untill now

Oh well, I have ZoneAlarm off for now, so at least I can get on again. I feel insecure now though...

Okay make sure its zone alarm by turning it off for a Microsoft day(Which is from the timeyou start your pc to the time you shutdown). While its off try to play Graal.

A Microsoft day for me might be a while, it was up to 4 weeks before I had to shut it down when going on vacation. Currenty:
[Winblows2K Uptime]: 1wk 2days 4hrs 17mins 5secs

But I do plan on keeping it off for a while, and just see what happens when I start it up again (plan on doing it in a few days), if I have to, I'll manually reboot :P. I just hope I can solve this, I don't like having ZoneAlarm not running that much.

Yes its very protective. But there could be something else you could use if that is your problem.
