Bjpac Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I load up net 7 and it says server is offline. Was there a new download for st4 or is the server just down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayerman Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 The server is up. However there may be a DNS issue as the IP for the server has changed. Give it a few hours, try again. DNS can take anything up to 72 hours to update at ISP level. You may be able to run 'ipconfig /flushdns' ... that could help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakefyre Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I'm having the same issue... I've flushed both with the Net-7 and command window aka ''ipconfig /flushdns'', didn't help. I'll be waiting for a fix and, if I can, maybe find the fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayerman Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 can you open a command prompt and PING play.net-7.org and post the results. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSMK2 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Pinging play.net-7.org [87.160.15.67] with 32 bytes of data: Request timed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheiler Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I get the exact same result to the ping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakefyre Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 As you requested, I've ran a cmd ping to the server, requests are getting timed out. I've also ran a cmd tracert and online tracert, it suggests that there is a hop before reaching the server not responding or something, wich I don't know with my limited knowledge. The screenies are attached below... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakefyre Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Fixed my own case, apparently the server's DNS is slightly different... Old DNS: play.net-7.org or 87.160.15.67 New DNS (working): play2.net-7.org or 87.106.15.67 Ran cmd ping and tracert, everything is fine with the new DNS. Can't upload my screenies, too big. Edit: To change your default DNS, go to your Net-7/bin directory, then open up LaunchNet7.cfg Change the highlighted line to the new DNS ((play2.net-7.org) OR (87.106.15.67)) Save. I do recomment to create a backup somewhere just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drednaut Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 WTG Drakefyre. that fix worked for me too. putting the 2 behind play seems to be the way to go. I also had to change the line, 3 lines below the highlighted one in the same way before the launcher showed the correct host when launching from desktop icon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dazlme Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 yes. Change host name from "Play.net7.org" to "Play2.net7.org" Worked for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrun Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I cannot get in! Net7Proxy.exe waits for 5 seconds, then times out. Correct IP Address though. Also I have tried to install the certificate 3 times without that helping either. What's wrong? ~Xrun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kutless Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Not sure if anyone has any idea's but no matter what I do my XP machine still was trying to connect to the 200 address in stead of the one in the 80's. My Vista machine never had a problem. The only way I got the xp machine to connect is to put 87.106.15.67 right into the host file in the net7 launcher that does work. any ideas tried so far dns flush modifying host file for Net7 with the net72 address. Reinstall net7 reinstall enb I remeber at one point a month or so ago lot of people where having problems connecting and I fooled around with a file for a manual address and it worked. Could be the issue but I can't remeber the file or what I did to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayerman Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Try a router restart... Some routers hold a DNS cache Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
