Server Help

I have been searching through the forum for nearly an hour, but i haven't found anything that really helps.

What happens is this: My zone appears in the zone list, and it appears as green with a 10 ping. Then, I try to connect and a pop up shows up saying :
Failed to connect to server. Check to make sure that the server is online and that you are currently connected to the internet.
I have Dsl, so I am always connected, and I can get on all other zones just fine. Does anyone know anything about this?

Check to make sure you dont have a firewall blocking connections to the ports the server uses. That will cuase that to happen.. If your using XP it has a firewall built in. Routers also have firewalls so if your using a router you need to adjust the settings on it also

A firewall should not affect the local loopback, except if you don't trust your own computer.

How did you add the zone to the list on Continuum?
If you just refreshed your zone list and got it in there you should try to use the following advice I gave in this thread.

well, i had the unknown 36 thing, but i read ur post and that was fixed up, but now it just says wat i said above. i added the zone as a custom zone.

Are the consoles giving you any other errors?
Maybe both programs are listening on the same ports?

both propgrams? do you mean subbill and subgame?

Yes, check your subbill.ini and server.ini.

[ quote from this thread ]

Subgame / biller ports need to be different from eachother.

Server.ini:
