eqemulator.net won't ping, is my IP blocked?

[gizm0steve]

Hi, I am posting here through a free web proxy because I cannot connect to eqemulator.net.

My problem began today, I was in-game when I got a BSOD (I really need to clean my machine, don't worry about that). When I booted up again I could not get logged in. I reinstalled eqemu and still couldn't. Tried the website and it fails. Other websites and anything else internet works.

Flushed dns, released, renewed, reregistered. Rebooted modem. Checked proxy settings. Did a malware scan for the hell of it.

When I ping eqemulator.net, it times out. I tried it on my laptop (same network) and it also fails. I tried IE, firefox, and chrome and it fails on all 3. I tried pinging from my modem and it also fails. I have no additional router, just a modem. I called AT&T and pasted my tracert to the guy and he told me that it looks like my IP address may be blocked on eqemu's end. My IP address is 108.227.220.245. Is it blocked? Is there something else I should try?

[jdoran]

Sites commonly block ICMP traffic (ping is one example), so I wouldn't
take it personally.

[Noport]

config the modem 192.168.0.1 example of ip address

open port fowarding add 3206 eq,1040 proxy using both settings

[gizm0steve]

sorry, i'm a bit ignorant when it comes to modem settings and need a little more hand-holding. I have a Motorola NVG510. Do I use NAT/gaming or Packet filters? i'm trying to find a guide to port forwarding on this modem but it seems like there's very little information out there.

[Maze_EQ]

Do not listen to noport.

Clean your pc up, and see what happens then.

Also, you said you're behind a proxy. Maybe your provider blocked Eqemu. I know my work sure did.

[gizm0steve]

i wasn't clear before. my proxy settings are clear, I simply used hidemyass.com to access this website (it's a free in-browser proxy). i did this because i cannot access eqemulator.net at all otherwise. i do not have any proxy set up. i've run several malware scans and cleared temp files, history, temporary internet files, ran ccleaner, everything i can think of. ONLY eqemulator.net is broken, no other websites or domains.

Post the Tracert to eqemulator.net

Also try pinging 67.23.190.75, let me know if that works or not.

Tell me what you are getting NATed to on your router

I'm not sure how to answer this question. I have a limited understanding of networking. The hostname from this site reads 108-227-220-245.lightspeed.hstntx.sbcglobal.net. Is that what you meant?

I wasn't trying to be a dick, I was meaning for you to literally browse to:

www.whatsmyip.org to get your public address assigned to your router through your ISP, the website will tell you what IP address you are browsing from, helps get a little bit more of an idea if there is anything on Rogeans end as far as administration.

IP address is 108.227.220.245. I'm sorry if I came off as petulant. I really appreciate the help.

My computer is doing the exact same thing. It was working this morning before I went to bed but now, nothing. I can't connect in game server or to the website. I have no idea why and I'm browsing this on my phones 3g just so I can post

My IP is 99.103.167.50 just to double check that for some reason you guys are blocking my IP. Hope it wouldn't get blocked for no reason without warning. I was litterally playing this morning and now I can't sign in to the server list or to the website.

[Tauqmuk181]

Gizm, what's your internet provider. I accessed the P99 forums and a bunch of other people are having the exact same problem. All of them happen to be using Att uverse as am I. So I'm guessing they fk'd something up

Could be a copyright issue. If AT&T believes a site is in violation of certain laws, they could be blocking per advice of their legal department. Or, it could just be a routing issue. The site is not reachable from my ADSL connection, and trace route fails.

Its great to know that my backup connection incase my primary goes down doesn't let me route to Eqemu

[image]

I would lean more towards ATT providing its awesome service like it always does - I doubt they care about a little emulator on the internet :rolleyes:

[Maze_EQ]

^ seems legit, but I've noticed it happens with Eq2emulator.net also..probably just ATT's awesome service as you said.

[image]

Not to put down eq2emulator hosting, but I think that is a coincidence. It looks to me that eq2emulator may be running out of John Adam's place or a cox business line (coming from Arizona I can speak to cox not being the best internet provider, infact in the phoenix area their speeds are laughable its so saturated - but they are really the only option).

Rogean is running eqemulator in the Boston/Cambridge area so they should really be going completely different routes.

[Garete914]

I also have att and cant access site or get to login screen in game. When I tether frim my ohone I can though. Called att abd after an hour the level 2 tech said he wiuld put in tucjet with networj engineering.

Thank you, sir. I'll also follow up with them if I catch some time today.

[trevius]

Have you tried going to the site by ip? The address should be http://67.23.190.71

If that works then you should be able to set that ip in place of the domain name in your eqhosts.txt file. If those both work, your issue is likely just bad dns from your hosting service. If so, you should be able to set it to a standard dns server in your router configs.

[Garete914]

I stand corrected. Routes still apply :) - looks like we got our answer from Akkadius anyway.

Yea I got the email when I was onsite earlier and forwarded it to him~

[Tauqmuk181]

after being on with support they said they were pushing the tech support to level 3 and after going to bed and waking up, I can connect again. not sure who was messing up but that was very weird

[gizm0steve]

I just came home from work, sat down, and it's all working now. Website, the game, all lights green like nothing was ever wrong. I don't think I did anything to fix it. I encourage others having this issue to try it again.
Thanks everyone for all the help, I really appreciate it.

[Garete914]

works here to good times
