Host timed out
« on: February 12, 2010, 05:53:54 PM »
  Just got puter set up in new location. I am on a cable connection with a Netgear router. On this PC I am using a Wireless N 150 USB adapter.
When I try to log in to the online arenas I immediately get a host time out message.  Ideas?

Forgot to say that the cable modem is connected by ethernet.

Was running Kerio on this PC, but I tried closing it and it still shows host timed out. It is immediate after clicking login.
I am running the connection off of my son in law`s set up. I guess his firewall could have it blocked for some reason. Not sure what to look for and what to allow from that end.

Firewall seems to be disabled on both router and modem . Still "host timed out" immediately when hitting OK to enter online arenas. Also logged into my account on the son in laws computer with no prob. Got me scratching my head....and other assorted places.

You could try removing the Router once to see if that changes any symptoms. Your definately trying to connect to the new server too correct, in other words using a very current version of Aces High.

It was current a week ago. It doesn`t try to update. Just goes immediately to "host timed out".
If I remove the router I will not have any connection.

I would run pingplotter to see if your getting to the servers or not.

As for the suggestion above, by-pass the router if its possible. Connect the modem directly into your computer. It will test whether or not its the router that is giving you the trouble.

Trying to run the game on a wireless set-up is going to give you all kinds of trouble. It's almost as bad as trying to run on a satellite set-up.

Nothing even comes close to the annoyance of satellite, not even wireless. :P

Also, Jackal, give Skuzzy til Monday.  It's Sunday, he has the day off, he should be here by 10am Monday. :)

Yeah, I emailed yesterday and have had this up for a while. Nothing. trying to work it out ourselves.
At the moment by passing the router is not an option.
I need the IP for the online arena server in order to make sure ports 2000-6000 are open. I`m sure it is here somewhere , but can`t find it in the jungle. Anyone know it offhand?

The initial connection is cable. Just using wireless adapter to get to my PC.
Actually there is no way to bypass the router. It has to go through the router no matter whether hardwired or not.

From the ones I've seen the cable connects to the modem, then a cat5 cable is used to connect to the router, then other cat5 cables connect to the computers. The cat5 cable that connect to the router from the modem can be connected directly to the computer to test your connection.
