Can't connect to Host
« on: January 22, 2002, 06:31:31 PM »
Hi Guys,
 Just finished setting my Bro up with my old PC and as he is interested in giving it a go I have of course set up AH. Decided to check everything was fine by logging onto one of the arenas (Using my own login) just to check all was well.

It isn't

As soon as I hit the online button I get the message "Do you want to try the alt route" followed by "Cannot connect to Host" :(

Same thing happens if I try H2H

(I've checked my account just to make sure AH has my money) ;)

Everythng else works fine (Browsing, GPL online, RW etc). PingPlotter finds all routes (tpl, alt etc) Connection seems fine :confused:

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Are you behind a firewall of any type?

Hi Aurelius,
 Only Zonealarm and I've been running that long enough to know most of it's little quirks.

It's OK now. I've been flying AH since Oct 99 and as I said this was my old PC, It had something like V1.04 on it and I mearly copied my own AH folders straight over the top of that installation to try to save time. I probably missed a file or something. :o

I had the exact same problem after updating to Patch7.  I don't think this is a coincidence...

I will try re-installing also...
