cant connect to servers in 2.0.2?

AAA · Post by **AAA** » Sun May 15, 2005 5:30 pm

i cant seem to connect to the list server in linux. I can ping the server, and I've read through NoServersFound, but all bzflag says is 'looking up hostname: Host name lookup failure'.

Help me!

1. Make sure u downloaded teh right version
2. If u downloaded the right version, try reinstalling, it happened once to me, reinstalling should work for u

If you're using a router w/ a firewall, or a firewall software package, try it without any port blocking. I'm not sure if our list servers communicate on a port other than 80, so it's just a thought if nothing else works. Of course BZFlag servers use UDP port 5154 by default and +1 to the number for return path (can be manually changed by server owner).

Anyone else know more about our list server's use of port(s)?

ive disabled the firewall(s) between me and my ISP, butthere is no diffrence.

Does anyone else have this problem in FC3?

BTW, 1.7 worked. (2.0 dosn't)

FC3 installed the 'old' bzflag version. So I built from source 2.0.2 (without removing the old RPM. Silly thing to do)
First I built from source. Than I installed a RPM. (Another silly thing to do)

I will try to remove all the biniaries and traces of BZFlag from the system and install from an RPM.

OK, i got it working. I still had abBZFlag biniary in /usr/local/bin that was being used (the one with the bug.)

I installed a 2.0.2 RPM after that.

Mabye a bug report should be filed?

anyways, thanks.
