Serverlist not showing servers, but I can join servers

[Sir Lance-A-Lot]

Recently upgraded to Windows Vista Ultimate.
I think something deep in it's security features is blocking the BZ serverlist...

I can manualy type out servers and join them, and even play - just fine, but the serverlist never returns the list of servers. Does it use a certain port that needs to be opened, or something of the sort?

If not, I could always use my.bzflag.org and look at the serverlist there...

Thanks for any help you may have. (Please don't flame Vista, either)

try using port 81, as in
my.bzflag.org/db:81

Actually you would open your config.cfg and change this:

Code: Select all

#set list http://my.BZFlag.org/db/

... to this (the port must be after the hostname, but before anything else):

Code: Select all

set list http://my.BZFlag.org:81/db/

But I doubt that will fix his problem as that's used against proxies (something in Windows Vista is the problem).

Does the Message Of The Day load? That is run on another server. However, both items are contacted on port 80, the default web server port. I'm not sure what kind of firewall Vista has, but you might want to try turning it off temporarily just to see if that's the cause.
