Looks like we're back... in time for widespread DNS problems

Perhaps we need to send a promotional flyer to all of the Cablevision staff. I bet if we got them hooked on Avlis, they'd be pretty darn quick at fixing the uplink (if it ever even went down...).

They are already hooked - they are probably browsing the Forum instead of fixing the link

umm.. I'm still having transition issues, what might be causing them? I have all the hakpaks, save Kuras, but am unable to escape the wilderness server except by serverhop.

I can't get on and I am getting the shhaaakkkeeessss!

Hmm.

when I try to log on it says:

Connection error: Cannot translate address

anyone have any idea what the heck that means?

That means you are having DNS issues.

Try replacing the avlis.blackdagger.net part of the server name with 67.85.230.46

If you do that you won't need to use a DNS server, so you won't care if they are not working or not.

NB. this is only good short term, long term you really should use the name as the IP address may change.

Corrected address

When I try to bypass the DNS server I get "server not responding timed out" blah blah blah. It seems to be a Copap wide problem.

If both things failed " IP and name" then it's probably the same thing i lived when they changed something in the firewall at the Usniversity.

Every UDP ports have been closed, then no more ways of playing Avlis from there. Avlis requires UDP ports to be opened

Okay I managed to get online now.
But this maens I have no logs again

I use parselog so does this mean I only have to place .bat somewhere down in this line?

D:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\nwmain.exe +connect 67.85.230.46:5123 +password XXXXXX

If so where?
If no what else should I do?

Thanks in advance.

Don't post the password in messages. It's not so hard to doublecheck before posting.

Sorry
