IRC log for #bzflag-chat on 20111102

00:28.56blast007probably a firewall
00:29.27blast007if it works in his browser, it's not a DNS issue
01:01.20*** join/#bzflag-chat nicfer (~Administr@190.50.55.143)
01:01.53nicferI tried using google's dns but still no response
01:17.32blast007nicfer: it's likely your firewall
01:17.49blast007since you were able to get to that URL in your brower, that means your DNS was working fine
01:18.38blast007nicfer: what firewall and antivirus do you have?
01:28.01nicferno antivirus and no firewall on
01:28.07nicferI'll check my router
01:28.28blast007shouldn't be anything with the router
01:28.33blast007it's all to do with your computer
01:28.57blast007we 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
01:29.14blast007are you SURE you don't have any firewall turned on?  not even the built-in Windows firewall?
01:32.29nicferI can ping the servers from cmd
01:33.00nicferso it's not the dnses
01:33.01blast007right, but something is preventing the game client from talking to the list server (and probably to game servers)
01:33.25nicferI was talking with brad before
01:33.39nicferso maybe you missed some of the chat
01:33.50blast007nope, I saw that
01:36.54nicferisn't there a log file?
01:37.06blast007not really
01:43.17blast007you could try running the game from the command prompt like so:
01:43.37blast007bzflag -debug -echo > c:\Users\YourUsernameHere\Desktop\log.txt
01:43.52blast007you'll have to 'cd' to the game directory first, of course
01:44.09blast007if you're on a 64-bit version of Windows 7, it'll be under c:\program files (x86)\
01:46.27nicferhttp://pastebin.com/PdnxzLuF
01:47.28blast007and you're positive that you do not have any firewall installed?
01:47.31*** join/#bzflag-chat spldart (~spldart2@bzflag/contributor/spldart)
01:51.18nicfernone
01:51.40blast007weird
01:51.53spldartw0rd
01:52.42blast007nicfer: do you have a 64-bit version of Windows 7?
01:55.12nicferyes
01:55.26nicferand the 64 bit version of bzflag
01:56.33blast007try the 32-bit version and see it that works
01:56.49blast007not sure why it would matter - I personally have the 64-bit version on here and have no problem
01:57.01blast007but worth a try though
01:57.08bradcould it be something wrong with curl, blast?
01:57.26bradIPs still work in bz
01:57.29blast007not sure what would be wrong
01:57.31bradjust not hostnames
01:57.33blast007it works here for me
01:57.52bradhm
02:13.31nicferthe 32 bit version also didn't work
02:14.37blast007something screwed up with your computer then
02:14.52blast007try another computer if you have one

13:44.22nicferhi again
14:05.40blast007hi
14:08.47nicfernow it seems that although I can join servers by their ip, it kicks me when I join
14:09.07nicferwith a error about not having UDP enabled on my firewall/router
14:11.26blast007do you have any other computer you can try this on?
14:13.38blast007or 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
14:17.37nicferit works on another pc
14:20.48*** join/#bzflag-chat L4m3r_ (~l4m3r@bzflag/developer/L4m3r)
14:34.16blast007nicfer: 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)
14:44.23nicferno antivirus or firewall
14:44.46bradnot even windows firewall?
14:44.55bradthe one that comes by default
15:10.29blast007did you have a firewall or antivirus on there at one point?  cuz if so, maybe it didn't get uninstalled properly
15:11.12blast007the facts are pointing to SOMETHING on that computer that is preventing BZFlag from communicating with UDP services (DNS is UDP)

15:13.23*** join/#bzflag-chat nicfer1 (~Administr@190.50.7.208)
15:14.58nicfer1I closed accidentally the other window, did someone told me something?
15:15.37blast007< blast007> did you have a firewall or antivirus on there at one point?  cuz if so, maybe it didn't get uninstalled properly
15:15.40blast007< blast007> the facts are pointing to SOMETHING on that computer that is preventing BZFlag from communicating with UDP services (DNS is UDP)
15:16.37nicfer1never installed any
15:16.57blast007and 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
15:17.19blast007you should use work or home, and you can check this in the network panel
