bodminman Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Hi there, We have been asked to take part in a compo against another school. I have access to a dedicated server and have setup Trackmania etc and all worked well when offsite. ie: from home. Also, the chaps from the other school can access it fine. However, in school I get the following error when trying to access the game: Could not connect to server. Connection to xxx.xxx.xxx.xx:2350 failed or disconnected from server (10060) I know port 2350 is used for this game and this has been allowed on the smoothwall box. Smoothwall then goes through ISA. There is a rule on the ISA that basically says any traffic from the Smoothie in any port, allow. Anyone any ideas?
bodminman Posted February 15, 2011 Author Posted February 15, 2011 My local BitDefender firewall has a rule to allow port 2350 TCP & UDP traffic. Bloomin' weird!
Flakes Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) try "telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xx 2350" in command prompt and see what it returns, if you get a response it should technically work. also google shows you may need the following unblocked: Application: TRCKMAIF External port: 2350 Internal port: 2350 Protocol: TCP/UDP Application: TRCKMAF1 External port: 3450 Internal port: 3450 Protocol: TCP Application: TRCKMAF2 External port: 5000 Internal port: 5000 Protocol: TCP Application: TRCKMAF3 External port: 1096 Internal port: 1096 Protocol: UDP Application: TRCKMAF4 External port: 1099 Internal port: 1099 Protocol: UDP Edited February 15, 2011 by Flakes
bodminman Posted February 15, 2011 Author Posted February 15, 2011 Connecting To xxx.xxx.xxx.xx:2350...Could not open connection to the host, on port 23: Connect failed Why hasn't it tried port 2350 like I specified?
Flakes Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 think you need to replace the : with a space when you specify a port in telnet.
bodminman Posted February 15, 2011 Author Posted February 15, 2011 Connecting To 188.165.238.51...Could not open connection to the host, on port 2350: Connect failed I have also added the above mention ports to the Firewall.
reggiep Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 This sounds like something we could all join in with on our lunch breaks!
Flakes Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Does your county filter your internet aswell? everything may be ok within the school, however many schools also use a firewall at county level, this may be what is blocking the required port.
bodminman Posted February 15, 2011 Author Posted February 15, 2011 Nah, our connection is: MY_PC ---> SMOOTHIE ---> ISA ---> WWW (BT Leased line)
Rydra Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 switch off your local firewall briefly to make sure it's not something just with your machine/software, windows firewall is a bugger for this sort of thing. also test can you connect to that IP on other ports, or just a problem with that port?
