Title: Build 13 Serverlist
Post by: Termin8oR on April 02, 2005, 10:57:46 PM

I Have experianced a Build 13 Serverlist error at School.... When updated the Build 13 files and installed correctly I still am un-able to connect to any server. I think it is because i proxy'd my schools servers and encounterd a no IP address for my school, I was wondering if I could play DP online without an IP address?
Please Reply to this Post with an answer and some information, thank you.

Thankz

Please don't use unnecessary colors like that.  As for you your problem, it's not possible to be connected to the Internet without an IP address.  It sounds like there may be a firewall blocking the servers.  I assume when you try to connect to a server, it simply says "Connecting to ..." over and over?

There's probably nothing you can do directly about it.  You might be able to get the network admin to allow UDP packets on ports 27900-28000 (most servers run on port 27910) if you ask nicely.  It may also be a firewall setting on the computer you're using (if it has some kind of firewall enabled), not the entire network.  Programs like ZoneAlarm and Norton Antivirus can block network connections on programs.

I understand, Just that I checked with School Comm Tech Teacher and He said "The schools computers currently do not run off firewalls of any kind."

There it is, its something else. I DONT KNOW! :D

No firewalls?  I find that hard to believe.  Even Windows XP SP2 comes with a firewall built in.  Can you use the built-in Paintball2 server list at all?

Dearest Admin,

Thanks,

LMFAO Loial.... I Hope that will work!
But I have a better idea.
Im just gonna hack my schools firewall, shut it down, then crash the firewall.... then Im going to install a program for me to shut down and access DP anytime I want...
Sneaky Termin8oR! :D
I Learned all this over the time im awway from you guys!
