Odd, His Pinkness suggested it was fixed... I shall pester again.

I have 4 friends in JP's server right now. It angers me that I can't join it :(.

pretty please?

Still!? *sigh* I dunno what's going on.

Are we still having issues with the NS server restarting on map changes as well? (I've no Steam here, so I can't really test - although it looks to be mid-map rotation at the moment.)

Still nothing :-/

yes Thoth we are

/uninstall life

ok, fine, you win... I'll donate some money to the server if that's what it takes. Can someone give me Jiggypuff's address so I can write him a check?

*sigh* His Pinkness has been very busy as of late, but the problem is on his desk.

Meanwhile, all I can suggest is ipconfig /renew or otherwise reset your modem and hope your ISP gives you a new IP. (Grrr...)

I assume Doc has the same ISP as me, since my other friend who has it also had an IP change recently. It is impossible to change your IP with this ISP, this change was the first one I've had ever with them. :*(

I'm sure His Pinkness will prevail!

might I offer a faster suggestion it seems,

move,

Mm, I didn't want to advance this theory based on the fact that I don't know wtf I'm talking about, but..

It seems to me that if they're both from the same IP subclass that it would be a problem between the ISP and the server - either Jiggly's hosting isn't talking to the ISP or vice versa. Would some kind of IP spoofer work? Something that reports their connections as having some different IP?

Or, if worse comes to worse, you could try getting a cellphone connection and playing NS that way

Ok, after almost a month of not being able to play on my favorite NS server I've done a little research.

I did a trace on the server's IP (72.35.235.130). The trace showed me that the following network is blocking my connection:

gig-1-3.core-02.lax.ip.net1one.com (72.35.230.214)

I am able to connect from work and a trace from work shows that this network is one hop away from the jigglypuff server.

tfc.panduck.com resolves to ip: 72.35.235.131, so the website is on a different IP than the NS server. What's strange is that the gig-1-3.core-02.lax.ip.net1one.com (72.35.230.214) network allows me to connect to 72.35.235.131 (the website), but not 72.35.235.130 (the NS server).

And again this all happened after my cox at home subnet changed from 68.7.*.* to 72.199.*.*

Furthmore I have looked up the contact information for the gig-1-3.core-02.lax.ip.net1one.com (72.35.230.214) network and came up with the following:

I called their tech support line and was on hold for 45 minutes (in "position 1" in their queue) and no one ever answered.

My guess is that there is some sort of security concern that is enforced in the network that is blocking my connection and since I can connect from work my guess is that they do not want people connecting to the NS server's IP from cox at home accounts, strange...

Thoth, please forward this information to Jigglypuff and see if this helps him diagnose the problem, thanks!

At exactally 10:01PM yesterday, Pacific Standard Time, His Divine Pinkness had this to say on the subject:



So, ermm... Hang tight!
