[Help our friend out]Trouble connecting

[Cutt3r]

This is truly odd and I am sorry for not being able to help you further on this. I checked on google and the only reason I found for a particular server not showing up is because you may be using the wrong version of the client. In this case, you have confirmed that the download from the link specified did not help out.
Therefore, I will move this post to the SA:MP general section, which is frequently visited by lots of players, who will also be able to be post in this thread. Hopefully we can get you ingame before midnight

A router restart, has this been tried?

[.Tony]

I connect from Sweden.. No problems at all for me. Try restarting your Router or something. Or just shut it down for some mins, Then turn it on again, That would help you. If not then i can't do anything.

I tried connecting via my modem so the router isn't the problem. The only thing I can think of is a ISP block.
Post Merge: June 16, 2011, 09:16:04 pmI've tried setting up a VPN using proXPN which gives me a new IP and with it I can open argonathrpg.eu and the forums but I can't connect to the server like before. This made me think that there must be something with my OS. I'm running on Windows 7 and every update is up to date.

I was wondering if anyone here uses Windows 7 and has it fully updated? Any response regarding this could help me understand what the problem might be.

I am from Sweden and I have Telia Sonera, I do not have any problems at all with the connecting to the Argonath servers at all. I have never had that problem.

There may be some possibilites why you can't connect to the server.

It may be your router who blocks the ArgonathRPG's server for some strange reason (if you now have a router). Maybe you need to open a port in it to connect to the server.
Can you ping the server? I guess you can't but if you can ping and not connect it's some kind of bug. You mentioned that you could find other server(s), can you connect to them?
Have you tried to connect to the other Argonath servers like the stunt server? Or even Paruni? The sister server of Argonath.

Hi,

I have checked andthere is a routeblock on your route. The cause is a group of people who entered the accounts of developers with stolen passwords.
As a result, we are not likely to release this route.
If you can get Telia to give you a long lease time (meaning your IP will not change unless you were disconnected for 6 hours or more) we can make an exception.

[Zaila]

Telia should give you a static IP. I'm having Telia and living in sweden aswell so i got route blocked also when i did get a new router. When getting that new router, it was the only time my IP actually changed route, so if you got a dynamic IP, i suggest you to call Telia to get further help with getting a static IP.

Guess the problem is solved now, topic lock?  :redface:

I understand that lifting the routeblock compromizes the security of the server so I won't make a big fuzz about it.

I will call my ISP tomorrow and ask them about a static IP although I've been looking at the ISP's website and
apparently if I don't have a Fiber connection I won't be getting a static IP anytime soon.

I'll ask them about the long lease but I really doubt they would give me that either.

I'm glad you all tried to help me and I appreciate the time and effort you put into it but if I have to get a new connection
to play on a specific server I probably won't go through the trouble.

Please keep the topic open and I will post any update I get after talking to my ISP.
Post Merge: June 17, 2011, 01:32:30 pmI've talked to my ISP and they confirmed that there is no service that will give me a static IP. However, apparantly, even if I have a dynamic IP they try to give me the same IP as before when they refresh the IP which is once per month. I've been sitting with the same IP for 3 months now so maybe we could at least try to make that exception for my IP?
