Progress!....maybe
Ok, here goes. I downloaded Port Detective because something is really f*cked in the ports.
Looking through the login process from server select to being in-game, I see that the world server hands off to the zone server. No problem.
People who can't get connected even have this. They get passed the world server, but no further than that.
Here's what I discovered:
World server auto looks at port 9000, I checked it with zone detective, shows "in use".
Connected all the way into the game and hit the zone server on port 7999. Got connected.
Checked with port detective. Shows 7999 as "Free/not in use" So something is amiss here. I dunno what, but it looks like the ports are a bit screwed up. That zone server would be at 'malice.homedns.org:7999' not '127.0.0.1:7999'.
Any ideas?
