Server #4
« on: March 13, 2011, 01:39:37 AM »
  I'm having trouble connecting to the #4 server, So far this is the
only server that this happens with. I click join from the lobby, and per normal
it gives me the loading screen, only it retries to connect 5 times and then it
gives me a box that says "Unable to connect to server". Any ideas what's going on?
I have a feeling this is on my end of the line, seeing as people are in the server racing,
and it is not a full server.

 :mad:

Well, it could be because you're using the almost obsolete GameSpy Halo Lobby, or you could be inadvertently attempting to join an impostor server....

Copy down the IP for BFM server #4 from the left-hand list on the BFM website and try to join using that within Halo instead of the lobby.

  I doubt the Gamespy lobby has anything to do with it, I know that it is not
a fake server because there have been BFMs in it as I try to join. I have also
already tried to connect through direct IP, Same thing happens.

Yep, that's the correct IP and port alright.

Since/if it's only happening with BFM server #4 and not when you do other things on the network, I'm all out of ideas....

Yeah, I have no idea what could be causing this.

*sigh*

At least it's just one server, and not all of them. Thanks for the
help though Mxy.

Is your IP address 72.37.237.100 by any chance?

If you scroll up and read the replies, your question will answer itself.

No, I think you misunderstood his statement.  I think he's asking you if YOUR IP address - the one assigned to you by your ISP to your household - is that number.

To check this you'd need to log in to your router and check the Status or the Configuration page - but don't bother: You CAN'T have that as your assigned IP address anyway. (It's not in the allowed ISP range/space. That IP is assigned to an application services provider, probably whomever owns the servers and routers for that BFM server.)

  Ah OK, I see. Well I doubt that's the problem, I have only been having trouble connecting
to #4 over the past few days, So unless MY IP has changed then I doubt that's the problem, even by what you said Mxy!

Start, run, cmd

ipconfig/flushdns

Do that and see if you can get in afterwards.

Nice suggestion tho, Jä× ....

That got me thinking: When's the last time you did a virus scan §åñdmåñ?

If you don't already have it, reboot your computer, log in, and do nothing else on it except to download and run a full malwarebytes scan (and go have some lunch.)

  I scan my computer everyday before I turn my computer off. I found
no threats: Viruses/Spyware/Malware etc...

*EDIT* Also last night, Crimson was having the same problem, only He couldn't join
any server he tried to join. It wasn't just #4 like me.
