Hi there fellas!

Is it just me that has to reboot the system after each game of emperor on Ra`s Server?I can`t even log on to internet at all. :'(

If it is,has someone a good tip for what it could be?

I will start on formatting my HD.

Up front thanks

uhh it 'could' be an issue with 1 or more of your network drivers

i remeber i had a similar problem with tiberian sun  ,i play a game ,when it goes to return to the lobby the net goes with it,, by the way are you directly connected? or are you using NAT of any kind?

anyway i got around it by disabling then re-enabling my net adapter

this only happened when i was using the net shared from another computer by the way

Another guy I know has this problem, and unfortunately he now doesnt play as it stopped him from playing continuously.

He hasnt tried RAs but tried XWIS and WOL and both were same.

Hopefully we can work out your problems. A reinstall is a good start, I suppose.

Keep us informed, as I am shure you will.  :)

No, I am sure no one has hacked in to your connection :P.

I would like to find out how your connection dies at the end of a game. Did you get a change to try out the IP addresses I gave you, after a game ?

I cannot remember if you told me you had a software firewall or not, on messenger. Although I am not sure how much difference that would make in this situation, its good info to have, might turn out to be relevent.

Also, when your connection does die, dont restart, instead go to the Start Menu, go the the Run command, and type "cmd". Then type ping www.google.com.

Let me know what it comes back as, especially the line that says Packets: Sent=4... Its 3 from the bottom

The IP aadress did`nt work out (sendt in a e-mail 2 u)Yeah I have a firewall (at my internet provider) but it hasn`t caused any trouble before. I have anti virus running but it also appears when it is turned off.

I reply back with the cmd result when I have it.

thx

Is that the google bookmark you made ? Cool.

The other games more then likely will use different ports, for one thing. Just becuase one game works, it doesnt mean others will, as you are seeing now.

Instead of restarting, can you find the icon for your network connection down in the bottom right corner near the time, it should look like two small monitors, and usually is called "Local Area Network Connection 1" or some other number...

If you can find it, right click on it and choose "Repair". That should get your internet back, without restarting.

POst back any results you can.

hi nun! ::)

well I don`t have the Icon beside my watch.only the globe our world hehe :-X

I did reistall my internet card with drivers but no help there. (PCI one, not the intergrated, Should I try to reinstall the intergrated ? )

What if I did a " repair " on windows ? could that help ?

The cmd resulted in " could`nt find the www...... site you know "

so no send= 4 and stuff.

Can it be some of my internet settings that are out of tune.?

The XWIS connection tool simply adds a line in the hosts file redirecting any calls to servserv.westwood.com to either ra's server, xwis or WOL depending on what server you want, of course. It doesnt fiddle with any of the network connection settings.

It is also a permenant change, so if Cybo can surf before playing the game, and not after, it will not be becuase of the connectino tool (it will not even be running).

I was trying to see if the DNS was going wobbly, which it doesnt seem to (pinging ip addresses for google fails) so it seems like the whole connection goes down. Next up would be to check if he can connect to his modems web config page.

Cybodude, see if you can go to Start menu > Run the type cmd. Then enter ipconfig in to the new window. For Defualt gateway, find that number and now type ping <Default gateway number> putting your default gateway there. So I would try pinging 192.168.0.1.

Also, failing all else, see if restarting your modem doesnt help, rather then restarting your computer, as the other person I knew with this issue used to reset the modem, not his computer, although both seemed effective.

Yeah, the hosts file is pretty much transparent as far as the app is concerned. Its at the OS level so Emp doesnt even realise its not on WOL (actaully, it can only handle WOL, which is why ra's and XWIS emulate WOL). So yeah, pretty shure its nowt to do with that side of things.

PIng: request timed out X 4

:) Excellent news :)

I thought you had rebooted your modem many times, if so, it wouldnt have made the difference this time.

As for Omega drivers...Woah, thats a freaky thing...

But glad you have got it sorted, we need some fresh bright red blood  8)
