Attempting to establish link to billing server...

Re - read Settings: 0ms

Code: Show/Hide

Server.ini:

[Billing]
IP=localhost
Port=900

Give that a try. Make sure in your subbill.ini, the port is still 900.

Did you put the right billing password in the subbill.ini?

server.ini:
[Billing]
LogMessages=0
IP=127.0.0.1
Password=test

subbill.ini
//Change to Billing Sysop Password, usless anyways..
BillingPassword=test

Perpeps that you dont have the update client. Download the new client here: http://www.ssforum.net/c/index.php?showtopic=6912

Post your server.ini and subbill.ini for us Hiivan. Remember to take out your Staff Passwords

Make sure your billing IP address is localhost. Also, when you add a custom entry to your zone (assuming zone is hosted on same system as your client), edit the zone's IP address as 127.0.0.1

Well, that wasn't totally nessacary (sp?)

If you would have read MGB's post, your problem would have been fixed.

Hmm...

""The subgame2 console says 'Client connection request from billing server ignored

You need to change the Billing:IP in server.ini to localhost instead of 127.0.0.1.""

So is there something wrong with my IP ?
im using my own IP not 127.0.0.1

In server.ini, make the [Billing]:IP=localhost.

Yeah, put the value of that into the [Misc]ServerIP=216.73.216.53.

This zone is not connected to the central player database.

Is this good or Bad

Mine GO BOOM - Tue Nov 01, 2005 5:19 pm

It means its not connected to the main billing database, which is normal. That is just a warning to users that they'll have to create their name on a new database.

The warning is there because in the past, some people ran their own servers and stole people's names. I personally have a couple of different passwords for my name, and then one shitty-throw away password for random zone usage. This prevents people from stealing my password and going into an SSC zone with it.
