Unable to connect to any ENT game

[g1real]

I can join ENT73 though...

I need the IPs from random ENT's

199.241.31.220 ENT21
192.30.34.9 ENT52

All go fine, including s1 to s9.clanent.net, I'm not sure what the problem is. Considering I, and you, lack proper diagnostic tools, we won't be able to figure out what's going wrong here.

But I know as much now, it can't possibly be on my end.

[Nz.Death]

Check your isp, I was having issue's with mine awhile ago and they argued with me that it was at my end until i got a screen shot of having 501ms coming from a speed test from their website.

Where do you live and who is your isp?

[g1real]

Netherlands, and as seen in the speedtest, SURFNET.

Why do you insist it's a problem on my end though, if I connect to any other game fine?

[Nz.Death]

No not your end, But maybe your isp (Internet serve's provider), We are just trying to rule out everything to get to the problem so you can come and play on our server.

I am in the process of seeing if there are packets being lost or something or not arriving, but it's hard to see it through all the torrent traffic that I shouldn't be having.

Edit: I can't find anything other than an acknowledge of the game name packet not being send.

[Nz.Death]

Hmm packet loss while doing passping and traceroutes is very easy to see. PM me some of you info you are getting doing you traceroute's. If there is packet loss then youll see it.

[g1real]

I don't think there's any packet loss, all tracerts and pings go uninterrupted and stable.

I'm going to see if Blizzard is willing to help with this.

[g1real]

No response from tech support yet. Any new ideas? Surely you have some way of helping?

Here are some pingpaths I did

ENT83, Success, Ultimate Footmen #81, No map[/spoiler]

As you can see, an obvious pattern in that I can join all the later ent numbers. Which leads me to believe they're on a different properly configured server, or some DNS problem is going on.

Further conclusions can be

• Not being kicked in some strange way
• No firewall issues
• No map corruption

I gave you the data, you need to figure it out what's different between the hosts succeeding and the failing, since I have no control on your side.

Have you tried connecting from other realms?

[g1real]

Have you tried connecting from other realms?

No I certainly haven't tried that yet

[cyberpunk]

I'll make a similar question, have you tried to connect using another internet.. like internet cafe, neightbours, etc..

As you can see here our bots are ok.
Make a try using ent connect and tell us what error you're getting.

I'll try to use an external laptop when I get the chance. But what answer will it give me?

As you can see here our bots are ok.

It's not a matter of it being okay, I don't see this being relevant. It's about the difference between bots 66-83 and 1-66, where the former are joinable for me and the latter are not, OBVIOUSLY something is different.

Make a try using ent connect and tell us what error you're getting.

Already tried ent connect (see OP), it gives no feedback other than the green > blue on join > green, the only difference is that it times out on most and doesn't on some (those bots 66-83)

I've send a few reports though (and some duplicates probably, my apologies), maybe it'll help.

It would tell you if you had a router issue connecting to the other servers. I once had a player that could only connect to my bots if it was hosted as pub and he had to wait til the game name came up in the games list, he couldn't type in the game name or he would get the same error as you. This went on for a year until he finally got a new router/modem and he could join all of my bots games instantly. Sometimes modems/routers are just weird (he had great internet too and could join any bot except mine)
