Gee... Give the man a break, he might have had a late night. He does a great job keeping the server up and running 24/7, especially since he does not profit from running the system for our benifit. That reminds me time to make another donation to the fund.

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

OK, I've tried www.pbw.cc, seiv.pbw.cc, and the raw IP http://69.81.92.70, and I still can't get in...

Am I the only one who can't?

Arrrgh!

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

Geo,

Is http://69.81.92.70 still the raw IP, or is it something else now? I'm thinking it has to be a bad DNS server, and I'm hitting the wrong IP.

Thx

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

OK, apparently the raw IP is 69.81.92.216, but that's not helping:

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

not that it will help, but I just played my PBW turn and everything is working fine for me. I have the same IP you posted. precisly, the web page I log in at is..

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

I'm really taking a wild guess, tater, but what the heck.

If you have a firewall, make sure you didn't accidently block the IP.

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

Thanks Slynky, but that was the first thing I checked...

I'm not even getting to the host-side name server. Something is misconfigured somewhere that is denying access from my ISP. I had a tech support rep at Qwest DSL tech support try getting on, and he couldn't either. Here's a traceroute...

Also, would somebody do me the favor of looking at the 3-Planet Quickstart and (New) Galactic Combat 4 games and seeing if my turns were received via email. I've never used email submission before and just want to make sure I didn't screw anything up.

Thanks!

Is anyone having trouble uploading stuff to the PBW site?? I'm having trouble uploading an update to the Gold-D-2 mod. Just a small data zip (not even 400kb). Starts to upload but never finishes....(or times out).

anyone??

I didn't have any trouble uploading a PBW file but that was a couple hours ago IIRC and it was a rather small file of course.

It happened when I uploaded my .plr file ... then realised I forgot to do something and un-did the turn. When I tried to upload the new .plr file I got the error. I've been trying to upload for 2 hours now... I'm constantly getting this error ever since.

what gives?

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

Are you having the problem with the graphic or text ui. Have you tried both?

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

erm, I know u´re bussy geo but my turn deadline is approaching and I´d really like to get this resolved as its very annoying.

Nothing seems to work, I even tried to resign from the game and then sign in from a new account I created.... but I still got the same error report.

the reason has to be on the PBW server, I´m sure of it. If u want I can resign from the game and u can sign in and try and upload something, u´ll prolly get the same error report.

wanna try this?

[ April 24, 2004, 09:53: Message edited by: JurijD ]

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

what web browser are you using? If you using anything other than IE I would try IE and see if the errors continue.

Most of the time I have to use IE to join or accept players.

If your using IE then switch to something else like netscape to upload files from. A while back I could not download or upload anything to PBW and it was because of an MS update for IE. It totally invalidated my install of IE and no matter what I did I could not get my upload or downloads to work for PBW.

It was not PBW, it was an IE thing so try that first. Good luck.

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

I´m using IE
So what u are saying... if I´m not using IE I should use it and if I am using it I should not:)

hehehe, kinday funny. Ok I´ll try something else.... what do you propose?

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

We're jsut trying to figure out what your problem is Juri. Some people have problems with other browsers, but you should be pretty safe usign IE all the time. I don't know why you are getting this error when nobody else is. Do you have all your javascript settings turned off or something?

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Ok here´s the deal: Yesterday I uploaded my turn file at around 12:00 GMT. Then I realised I forgot to do something and I un-did my turn. 5 min later as I tried to upload my turn again I got that error I posted below. I´ve been getting it ever since.
1. I tried everything I could think of. I resigned from the game and then joined again (easy to do as I am the game host)
2. I tried resigning and then joining back using another account I created
3. I tried uploading from 3 different computers (win 98, 2000, xp, different IE Versions)
4. I even got 2 friends of mine to try and upload it. (one from New Zeeland and one from Slovenia) they both said the page just "clouldn´t upload the file ... the download went on forever and never finished" but they didn´t get the error report which is strange

Nothing worked, every time the same error report appears.

Therefore I don´t think it has to do with my browser-related settings (browser type, settings, updates etc.) because I didn´t change my browser in those 5 min.... and the thing won´t upload on any of the other computers I tried.

take a look at that error report I posted, It says something about a servlet error or something, that has to be server based and not remote-client based....

maybe something went wrong with that turn I un-did and now the server doesn´t want to accept another one on top of that....


anyways thanks heaps for the help.

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

Yup. I'm getting connection refused.

It was down a good chunk of Last Saturday, too. Geo was busy with family and didn't notice till late in the afternoon.

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

I also can not get into PBW.

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

What browser are you using JurijD? This problem is most definitely browser related... (well, not the server being down the other one http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ) PBW was designed explicitly for IE. It does not work well in other browsers (at least, some functions).
