strange problem
 

I am running a server for a few friends Titanium fresh install [7.0.0] I think the server is all up and running correct. I can log in from both my computers (LAN) and a friend can log in from his computer (external). So Im guessing I have all the correct ports opened. The problem I have got is when another one of my friends trys to connect he can get all the way upto creating a character then his game says Disconnected. Now the thing is on my server side of it, it says
[Debug] [NET__IDENTIFY] Identified stream xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:50012 with signature Titanium_world
[Debug] [WORLD__CLIENT] New client from xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:50012
[Debug] [WORLD__CLIENT_TRACE] NOCLE: Recevied EQApplicationPacket

[Debug] [WORLD__CLIENT_TRACE] <hisname>: Sending EQApplicationPacket OpCode 0x00ff
[Debug] [WORLD__CLIENT_TRACE] <hisname>: Recevied EQApplicationPacket

And when I use the http management It says he is connected but in no zone.
also if he tries again to create a charcter it says he connected again, the more times he tries the more time my http says he is connected so he can end up have multiple connection on my server. Also like to mention that when I click on KICK to try and remove him from the server all I get is chr.html not found so I end up with 6 or 7 of the same account.
We all have Titanium fresh install.
Any help please. Thanks in advance.

If someone can connect to your server external and someone can't
It was a local problem, perhaps his computer have problem to run titanium ? Your friend don't patch his titanium version are you sure ? have you try some hints made by users ? (many post on titanium).

I think it is down to his computer settings, He has the same version as everyone else but he can only get to create a character then gets disconnected, so Im still stumped as what to do please help!!!
sorry forgot to mention he has 2 computers 1 desktop 1 laptop running through wireless network.
And I dont think it is down to his router because I have told him to connect through his modem (without router) and he still can't connect with either computer.

Update on my problem:-
I have got my friend to bring his laptop down (having the same problem as his desktop see above.) Plugged it into my network and it worked first time, connected with no problems at all. So we now know the game is installed all ok and his firewall is set right. Took the laptop home and guess what happend, yep you got it, got disconnected at character creation. Only thing that I can think off now is that it is his modem. (voyager 205) I set all the ports 5999 9000 7000-7100 on the modem and still no connection. Any one got any ideas as we are running out of things to try. Please help.

I got 149,000 hits from google on that particular modem. You might want to check some links: http://anonym.to?http://www.google.c...=Google+Search

It seems that particular modem has issues and everyone that posts about it has the same thing happening. If he's using a USB connection, try using a regular ethernet cable instead. There's also some links to flashing the damn thing - which is pretty extreme to get the thing to work, imo. Good routers are really cheap nowadays ($30), so you could just get that and toss that POS out the window. :p

This might be a good read.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the info Vales, Have been trying some of the options on one of thi links today still no luck. He has already got a ethernet cable I know about the usb problem with his modem. Going to try another modem to see if that works. Thanks for all your help.

No problem. I know how frustrating it could be especially since he's so close to logging in. Hope you get it sorted. :)

Got the problem sorted it was the modem. Found a good little program to help get around the problems, Its call ARSE if anyone else is interested.
Can get it off the site in Vales link above, Thanks Vales.
