Server Down?

No luck. What's strange is I can ping his IP address, and it does actually have a hostname, but I can't complete a traceroute on it, which may be more of the actual problem.

It stops after hitting the cv.net network:
dstswr1-ge3-1.rh.bbylny.cv.net [167.206.33.130]

And it should at some point get to optonline.net to get to here:
ool-18bbe065.dyn.optonline.net [24.187.224.101]

So maybe there's some sort of firewall outside of his LAN that he has no control over. Whatever the reason, it seems to be outside the scope of Shrapnel's box.

I imagine that there's port filtering or a proxy there where the problem is. It needs to allow the ports that LOL uses: 1337 (Lobby Server), 21337 (Game Server)

NightStalker, can you check this out with your ISP or whoever runs your gateway network?

Could it be related to the 3rd-Level / Cogent de-peering thingy?

i tried to manually open up those ports on my router but that still didnt seem to make anything work

Nightstalker: We appreciate your patience and your help with this. We're still not giving up, although I personally am a bit stumped at the moment.

Andre's smarter about this stuff than I am though. I'm hoping he continues to think of ideas I wouldn't. =)

im not giving up either, i very much enjoy playing the game and cant wait for the moment i can return to internet play, until then im open for ideas, it still boggles my mind that only this game seems not to work on internet, the other pc games i have work flawlessly online.

Trust me, we're just as boggled as you!

In a way, I almost wish this affected more people. Then we could at least hopefully detect a common trend and figure something out!

If you don't mind, email me at bugs-at-tinyhero-dot-com, and we'll set up a time for me to bring up a copy of the servers on a different machine, and we'll see if that helps...

Right now, server seems to be, if not down, at least glitchy. I just had two games interrupted by double disconnects with Sammas.
