wrong server address or its down??

jaybuswar

I'm a newbie today and can't get game to start..."Server address is incorrect or Server is down for maintenance"
What is the network path ie. ports for the firewall to have open for this game?
Is that the prob?

Thanks,
JW

first off, what version is ur client? should say current version 7.403, realm version 7.403.... if it does say that, maybe its a problem with your firewall just not letting the connection go thru, maybe try to set ur firewall to allow it or stop it momentarily, see if that helps

i downloaded the 7403 today...
Is the game supposed to open in my browser? or a program window? I'm not getting a separate window and after I click OK after the above message, I get a tab opening to the registry page. I've already registered I believe.
Sorry to be a bother. I'm really new to online games...
Regarding the firewall...I'm on a secure network and am not the network administrator. So is there a specified port that PDO requires open? That would be most helpful to get that out of the way to diagnose other probs.
Thanks.

any chance the game doesn't work with vista 64-bit?

PeeKay

It should open another window, as for Vista i cant help you there i know very little about it as i have not used it much wish i could be more help to ya

im using Vista 32 bit and it is working fine..... i dunno to the 64 bit though. and if its redirecting u to the registry page be sure thatt u have typed the correct user name coz otherwise the system will not recognize it and will prompt u to register the username ure typing. regarding the firewall , if ure in a company, prolly the games have been blocked by ur office. consult ur network admin coz definitely there is a specified port number PDO uses and only the network admins can remove it in the access list (that is if you wanna get fired coz instead of working ure playing )

1.Please uninstall the game first.
2.Don't install the game under  root directory. Try to create a folder and install the game in.

the game client uses random ports , i think 1200+ , tell what kind of windows and antivirus you using and i will try guid you how to unblock the game client.
for your other question Yes the game supposed to run on vistax64 , if you got server path issue install the small patch linked on this thread

PeeKay

Really its not that sad if u stop to think about it, because none else knows what to do for you either, seems a problem that hasnt occurred to anyone else, so how should they know what to do?

saifer

Hey pee

Seeing as this is limited to only two posters (and the others you have mentioned haven't posted) and the fact that one of you were able to play for a little bit, also the fact that others are currently playing shows that there's nothing wrong with the game system but rather your personal computers.

If you are unable to connect trying pinging the server. If you want to find the servers IP it's easy.

First go to your run in your start menu and type "CMD".
Once the command prompt opens type in "netstat -n".
A list will appear, make a note.
Now click on the PDO exe to log into the game and type in "netstat -n" again.
Look at the list and the new IP is the game server and port.
Now take the game servers IP and type "Ping -IP HERE-".

This will tell you whether you are connecting or not and at what speed.
