| 00:28.56 | blast007 | probably a firewall |
| 00:29.27 | blast007 | if it works in his browser, it's not a DNS issue |
| 01:01.20 | *** join/#bzflag-chat nicfer (~Administr@190.50.55.143) |
| 01:01.53 | nicfer | I tried using google's dns but still no response |
| 01:17.32 | blast007 | nicfer: it's likely your firewall |
| 01:17.49 | blast007 | since you were able to get to that URL in your brower, that means your DNS was working fine |
| 01:18.38 | blast007 | nicfer: what firewall and antivirus do you have? |
| 01:28.01 | nicfer | no antivirus and no firewall on |
| 01:28.07 | nicfer | I'll check my router |
| 01:28.28 | blast007 | shouldn't be anything with the router |
| 01:28.33 | blast007 | it's all to do with your computer |
| 01:28.57 | blast007 | we talk to the server list via HTTP, so if that's not working, but it works in your browser, it's something with your computer |
| 01:29.14 | blast007 | are you SURE you don't have any firewall turned on? not even the built-in Windows firewall? |
| 01:32.29 | nicfer | I can ping the servers from cmd |
| 01:33.00 | nicfer | so it's not the dnses |
| 01:33.01 | blast007 | right, but something is preventing the game client from talking to the list server (and probably to game servers) |
| 01:33.25 | nicfer | I was talking with brad before |
| 01:33.39 | nicfer | so maybe you missed some of the chat |
| 01:33.50 | blast007 | nope, I saw that |
| 01:36.54 | nicfer | isn't there a log file? |
| 01:37.06 | blast007 | not really |
| 01:43.17 | blast007 | you could try running the game from the command prompt like so: |
| 01:43.37 | blast007 | bzflag -debug -echo > c:\Users\YourUsernameHere\Desktop\log.txt |
| 01:43.52 | blast007 | you'll have to 'cd' to the game directory first, of course |
| 01:44.09 | blast007 | if you're on a 64-bit version of Windows 7, it'll be under c:\program files (x86)\ |
| 01:46.27 | nicfer | http://pastebin.com/PdnxzLuF |
| 01:47.28 | blast007 | and you're positive that you do not have any firewall installed? |
| 01:47.31 | *** join/#bzflag-chat spldart (~spldart2@bzflag/contributor/spldart) |
| 01:51.18 | nicfer | none |
| 01:51.40 | blast007 | weird |
| 01:51.53 | spldart | w0rd |
| 01:52.42 | blast007 | nicfer: do you have a 64-bit version of Windows 7? |
| 01:55.12 | nicfer | yes |
| 01:55.26 | nicfer | and the 64 bit version of bzflag |
| 01:56.33 | blast007 | try the 32-bit version and see it that works |
| 01:56.49 | blast007 | not sure why it would matter - I personally have the 64-bit version on here and have no problem |
| 01:57.01 | blast007 | but worth a try though |
| 01:57.08 | brad | could it be something wrong with curl, blast? |
| 01:57.26 | brad | IPs still work in bz |
| 01:57.29 | blast007 | not sure what would be wrong |
| 01:57.31 | brad | just not hostnames |
| 01:57.33 | blast007 | it works here for me |
| 01:57.52 | brad | hm |
| 02:13.31 | nicfer | the 32 bit version also didn't work |
| 02:14.37 | blast007 | something screwed up with your computer then |
| 02:14.52 | blast007 | try another computer if you have one |

| 13:44.22 | nicfer | hi again |
| 14:05.40 | blast007 | hi |
| 14:08.47 | nicfer | now it seems that although I can join servers by their ip, it kicks me when I join |
| 14:09.07 | nicfer | with a error about not having UDP enabled on my firewall/router |
| 14:11.26 | blast007 | do you have any other computer you can try this on? |
| 14:13.38 | blast007 | or heck, download Ubuntu, burn an ISO, boot to a LiveCD environment, and install BZFlag there - if it works there, then it's something with your Windows 7 that is foobar |
| 14:17.37 | nicfer | it works on another pc |
| 14:20.48 | *** join/#bzflag-chat L4m3r_ (~l4m3r@bzflag/developer/L4m3r) |
| 14:34.16 | blast007 | nicfer: then your computer is broken, or actually does have a firewall or antivirus installed |
| 14:44.00 | *** join/#bzflag-chat nicfer (~Administr@190.50.15.42) |
| 14:44.23 | nicfer | no antivirus or firewall |
| 14:44.46 | brad | not even windows firewall? |
| 14:44.55 | brad | the one that comes by default |
| 15:10.29 | blast007 | did you have a firewall or antivirus on there at one point? cuz if so, maybe it didn't get uninstalled properly |
| 15:11.12 | blast007 | the facts are pointing to SOMETHING on that computer that is preventing BZFlag from communicating with UDP services (DNS is UDP) |

| 15:16.37 | nicfer1 | never installed any |
| 15:16.57 | blast007 | and you're sure that the Windows Firewall is turned off for the type of network you're set to? WIndows 7 have three types of networks: work, home, and public |
| 15:17.19 | blast007 | you should use work or home, and you can check this in the network panel |
