WuXinRen Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 I keep getting a message after I run the launcher Net7Proxy version 1.87 Using IP: 127.0.0.1 <127.0.0.7> 28/05/10 08:32:09 Attempting to connect to IP address:87.106.15.67 28/05/10 08:32:09 Sending login. 28/05/10 08:32:10 login OK 28/05/10 08:32:10 TCP listner unable to bind to socket on port 3801 28/05/10 08:32:10 TCP listner unable to bind to socket on port 3500 after that the game window opens asking if I agree or disagree to the terms and if I click agree the game will start and once I select my character it will go to map and freeze. I figured out that if I get either one or both of those messages the game will not start. So I will click disagree and close the windows and try again. Sometime I only get one port that wont bind, while other times I get both. I have to try so start the game several times to get it to work. Once in a while it will work right away, but most of the time I have to try 20 or more times. Yesterday was the worst and was not able to log in all day After talking to various gm's and dev's in game once I got in I have tried: 1) seting port in router 2) ran the force update 3) ran in debug mode 4) ran in admin mode 5) turned off uac 6) turned off antivirus 7) logged out of all instant messangers 8) bought new set of golf clubs nothing worked (but my golf game is getting better) please help Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r8rsfans75 Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Have you tried changing your putter? Does your loft wedge have too much loft? j/k Here is something that Tien posted a while ago, see if this works: Troubleshooting: If you get the message like this: TCP Listener unable to bind to socket on port xxxx Try deleting the text in the launcher's 'Local IP' box, it should solve this problem.

Kyp [LDEV] Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 I modified the putter and that seemed to help a little silly question .. how do I delete those lines ?? Should be able to just click in the field and it'll highlight like an address in your internet browser. I will check now to make sure.. I'll edit this if not. The above is correct, just click in the field, it'll highlight. Push backspace, then play and voila. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paragon Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 I tried that and I got the same results ... no change any other ideas??? Its possible another application is using those ports, besides the usual suspects that you have already turned off (antivirus, instant messengers, etc). I hope this isn't too technical, but here goes. open a command window (In most windows installations go to the start menu -> run -> type "cmd" without quotes -> press the enter key type "netstat -o" without quotes press the enter key the output should looks something like this D:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.SMILODON>netstat -o Active Connections Proto Local Address Foreign Address State PID TCP smilodon:1043 localhost:1044 ESTABLISHED 2708 TCP smilodon:1044 localhost:1043 ESTABLISHED 2708 TCP smilodon:1048 localhost:1049 ESTABLISHED 56 TCP smilodon:1049 localhost:1048 ESTABLISHED 2708 TCP smilodon:1119 localhost:12080 ESTABLISHED 1 *lines ommited* notice the "local address" column. For instance "smilodon:1043" the :1043 is the port look for rows that list :3801 and :3500 If you find rows that do, write down the number in the "PID" column. If not then skip the rest, its not an issue of another application using that port. For instance, If I had a problem with port 1049 I would write 2708 now lets see which program that is open the "task manager" (start menu -> click on the "run" button -> type "taskmgr" without quotes -> hit the enter key click on the "process" tab in the view menu -> click on "select columns" click on the check box next to "PID (Process Identfier), if it isn't already checked. click the "OK" button look through the table until you find the "PID" you wrote down earlier the rest depends on what you find. You could just right click on that row and select "end task" from the context menu or if you recognize it, you could close that application normally if you have no idea what it is, you could ask here, someone else may recognize it.

Thank you very much for the information .... however when I did the netstat command .... this is what I got (see attached) nothing close to 3801 and 3500 ... everything had 5 digits not 4 I almost thought we had something there.

The "a" is for all connections. As far as seeing 5 digit port numbers, that is pretty normal, my example was only the first few lines on this computer.

Thank you so much for the command ... it gave me a lot more information however there was nothing attached for 3500 or 3801 see attached --- new update --- If I launch using net7 (custom) and then check the box for client detours it seems to work after the second or third try only one catch I found so far .... while in game, if I check out my guild info, I get kicked all the way back to desktop and have to re-launch please tell me this is not hopeless ..

WuXinRen Posted May 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 ANOTHER UPDATE I just reinstalled everthing .... E&B as well as the launcher and .. same problem ... I even went to my parents house and tried it on their rourter ... no change any ideas ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tienbau Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 could be the firewall. Do you both use the same firewall software? Don't switch it off! However, if you can either switch the firewall to 'medium' or better still, allow Net7Proxy and the client.exe internet access when they ask for it. Other than that, if you've tried Paragon's suggestion and there's nothing using those ports, all I can think of it to make sure your windows update is all up to date, if you're not running a firewall, get a virus scanner (avast is good I've heard) and a firewall (komodo maybe), as chances are a virus is interfering. There seems to be something that's running on your computer that's stopping the port bind, we just got to find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bondct Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 when you say tried at your parents house... do you mean on their computer or yours... which means you have a laptop? and if that is the case, then its not your internet... its your laptop... along the lines of what others said I would suggest 1. turn windows firewall on and leave it on auto let it do what it sees fit to do. 2. make sure you have virus protection, but make sure you ONLY have virus protection and not a combo virus scan/firewall and if that is the case, turn off that firewall portion and only use windows... 3. you are getting in game which is a huge plus... until you can clear your computer as being virus free I would go with that first... aside from a PAID FOR or LEGIT FREE program and not some hacked stolen (or free scam) virus software that you need to install and run I would recommend going too http://www.malwarebytes.org/ prob the best malware program I know of... run that and see what it finds and report back...

I brought my laptop to their house to test the router to see if there was a block there somehow with my antivirus off my firewall is also off also I am using Panda Anti virus ... and super anti spyware ... my system is clean but .. as soon as I select the detour option in the launcher ... I can usually get in after the 2nd try the only down side is if I try to look up my guild info I get kicked out of the game completely and get to visit my desktop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I don't understand what you've written. with 'I can usually get in after the 2nd try' sounds like you have some serious problems on the laptop. Try one of the windows repair tools, can anyone name ones that have worked for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WuXinRen Posted May 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 so does this mean you can play or not? Sorry I don't understand what you've written. with 'I can usually get in after the 2nd try' sounds like you have some serious problems on the laptop. Try one of the windows repair tools, can anyone name ones that have worked for them? Simply .. the problem is that I am not able to get in the game the normal way (net-7 multi-player) I get the message: tcp unable to bind to port 3801 tcp unable to bind to port 3500 If I were to try and play the game after getting those 2 messages, it will only go as far as allowing me to select a character and then freeze on the map screen (the longest freeze was 28 minutes) unless I continue trying to log in from about 20 times to about a day and a half, it may finally let me in to play I finally found a combination that allowed me to get in and play ... I selected net-7 multi-player custom and then selected client detours the only problem that I have found so far with this is that as soon as I click on "guild info" in game .. I am dropped to desktop I attached a pic that shows what happens when I try to log in (net-7 multi-player) ... normal settings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tienbau Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 running under 'client detours' is bad. Basically it intercepts every packet received and really slows down your game, probably by a factor of around 2. On a laptop this is not good, also client detours running is inherently unstable too, so you'll get frequent crash to desktops. In the early stages of the game we used it for debugging, but it's not really needed now. Run under 'debug start' and cut & paste what it says. I remember ages ago one of the devs had a f**ked-up PC that would only run under client detours, can't remember how we got him working, but I think it became more obvious what was happening when he did a debug start.

bondct Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 so if you dont click guild info then you can play for as long as you want? please dont take offense at these next 2 lines but I repair computers all the time and everyone says there computer is clean and I mean everyone... Panda is free? or did you pay for it... lol if its an evaluation version superantispyware is good... but for certain things I still think malwarebytes is significantly better we can assume that your machine is clean thats fine, and if its not and thats the cause (which it may not be even if it werent) oh well when you say reinstalled everything, I assume that means that after uninstalls you deleted any remaining files/folders leftover from uninstall do you play over wireless or wired... maybe its a problem with network card? if you play wireless try wired or vice versa... or if you have the drivers, delete the adapter and reinstall... also, I would not suggest doing any voodoo magic to get the game started cuz in the end it really needs to start with its normal settings, otherwise you really didnt fix a problem unless it is a true incompatiability issue... found this post maybe it will help? http://totallywickedproductions.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=28&start=0 one last question is this a personal laptop or a work laptop?

Tienbau Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 ^^ that's some good advice. Try the 'debug mode', post up what it says and we'll take it from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
