INTERNET MODE?!?!?!

<< < (2/3) > >>

Peter:
If the portquiz link doesn't open, it means something blocks the port.
That may be firefox settings(does open in ff for me, seems unlikely)

The computer firewall,network firewall or your IPS is likely the culprit.

...but the CLI keeping empty when starting the exe directly is weird. In the  case it's blocked I would assume a "host wont respond" message.

edit:
Can you open http://portquiz.net ?
To check if ports are blocked ou could use nmap,

enter "nmap -p 4000-5000 -Pn portquiz.net" in the zenmap gui(in the program files(x86)/Nmap directory). May take a while..
You should get a overview of the ports in the 4000-5000 range that are blocked and open.

That'd explain it, my internet setup is really weird (long story)
Why not make it so DB has lets say 10 ports that you can connect to IM via, and you select which one you want...
I know 25565 is a unblocked port, possibly running a IM host via 25565 might be a solution because a lot of programs (now-a-days) use 25565...
Also how come your name is in IM setup?

Either that or just put it as a 2nd port connection via port 80?

Peter:
Apparently incoming connections from port 25565 are blocked by my host. I don't know why, I think they dislike minecraft.

Normally all outgoing ports are allowed, blocking any of them is exceptional that's why I just had one port.

Why are any outgoing connections blocked? Proxy, weird ISP, messed up firewall settings?

A very weird traffic processing system...Anyway, have just a button selection with 3 ports to connect via, people are bound to have a couple of ports blocked so having a option solves that...
Maybe just run it via standard internet ports (so the ports used to connect to the internet).

Peter:
The only outgoing port that's blocked for me is port 25, and that one is more common to be blocked among other ISPs. Not that I like it much, but oh well.

I could setup multiple ports to connect to, but if 4669 is blocked. Which other ports would not be blocked, which ports are unblocked in your case?
Noting that ports below 1000 need elevated rights to run on linux(I'd rather avoid that, but possible) and as for default 'internet' ports 80/443 are reserved.
