So i am trying to make a zone i can retrieve it from the zone list and i have port forwarded and allowed the ports in the firewall.
the zone now displays pings in the list but i cant connect to it so i try another zone that works i exit that zone and now all the zones are red!
how do i fix this?
any help appreciated. |

hmm it happens sometimes when you just enter the menu, all zones are red for a short period of time.. but if they stay red, that's weird..
Try redownloading the zone list perhaps, and make sure some firewall didn't decide to block continuum all of a sudden (even if the ports are allowed, it might have blocked the program itself)...
You could try disabling the firewall temporarly just to see if it's causing the issue

change the ip in the directory area in .ini file, it should look like this:
[directory]
ip =
name =
etc...
and change the ip to localhost, that may be the problem. that happened to me too if i understood you correctly. |

yes they stay RED! it is rather weird.
redownloading list doesnt work and i allowed continuum in the firewall settings this didnt work either after temporarily disabling the firewall they zones stayed RED!
so i dont think it has nething to do with windows firewall.
i think the problem may be with the default gateway firewall settings because when i remove the port forwarding the zones come back. but doing this wont let me run my zone. |

| I used to have that issue. I forgot what I did but I think I reset my router to default settings or something. It happened on and off. It only did it on my one Windows XP Pro machine. It's green when you exit continuum completely and open it again right? Mine was. |

if you're using a router, it's probably your ports not being forwarded correctly
Get a friend and see if he can get in your zone. If he can, it is definitly something you must change in your router to redirect stuff |

Ok when you use the zone list downloader and click ok, all the zones will appear green for a few seconds. Wait for it to settle down before trying to enter your zone.

Aah. Do not change the Directory IP to localhost.

No no, if a friend can enter but you can't, make sure you are entering using a custom zone entry. Go to the zone downloader dialog, click add custom, do not use your zone's real name otherwise when you update the list the details will get overwritten with ones that don't work for you.
