Error connecting to Mofo

Drop Bear · Post by **Drop Bear** » Sun Oct 19, 2008 8:21 pm

I haven't been able to connect to Mofo (bzflag.planet-mofo.com:4200) for the last few days. I can connect to other servers without problems. The message is "Error connecting to server."

I'm disappointed to miss the 4-team catch the flag on the server.

Using 2.0.10 on Windows.

Any suggestions on what to do next?

Thanks

Drop

Did you try talking to the Mofo Admin?

Thanks for the reply. How do I contact the admin? I can't find any details in BZFlag itself or in the stats.

Cheers

The admin for MOFO I believe is Optic Delusional. And I forgot his email address. Ill look for it when I have the chance. Or just sign on to

irc.freenode.net and go to channel ##planetmofo

Looks like you got caught in a ban that is intended to remove an A__Hat. Fortunately, if we know about the name you use, we can enable a passthrough for you.You must use your registered name.
If you hear of someone else having this problem, send a private message to me, Darth Vader or Temporal Distraction.

Drop Bear, use your registered name and pass and you won't have any problems now. If you do have further problems, let me know.

I'm having the same problem, I'm getting the message "Error connecting to server" when I try to connect to "Planet MoFo" and "Fox Burrow" servers.
I can't connect with any name (registered or not).

One more detail: I can't to access to www.planet-mofo.com in my web browser (IE6).

Thanks in advance for your help.

More details:

I'm connecting from Spain, on Windows XP SP3, BZFlag 2.0.10 version.

This happen on all "bzflag.planet-mofo.com" and "bzflag2.norang.ca" servers/maps (not on bzflag3.norang.ca).

I can't to access to www.planet-mofo.com in my web browser, I get the message "This page cannot be displayed".
I have two computers sharing internet access (ADSL 4Mb/512Kb) and same problem on both.

There is another thread about this problem: http://my.bzflag.org/bb/viewtopic.php?t=13357

Thanks.

You were probably caught by a firewall block rule. Does it work better now?

All is working fine now, I don't know how.

Thanks.

I removed the firewall blocking rules that were preventing you from reaching the server.
