Connection Problems - Error Message

[Shadow Shot]

I downloaded ;autosetup and ran it. Shortly thereafter, I lost the ability to connect to the server (and even the website).

Here is the error message:[lnet: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. - connect(2)]
lnet:114:in `initialize'
lnet:114:in `open'
[lnet: NilClass is not a valid input stream. It must walk
like either a String, an IO, or a Source.]

C:/Ruby200/lib/ruby/2.0.0/rexml/parsers/baseparser.rb:127:in `stream='
[lnet: connection lost]

I made sure all my scripts were trusted, but that didn't change anything. Any ideas?

Download this file https://lichproject.org/download/lich-4.6.33.zip Extract the zip somewhere other than your Lich folder. Replace the files repository.lic and lnet.lic in your Lich folder with the version in the zip

OK, did that! New error message:

[repository: error connecting to server: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. - connect(2)]
--- Lich: repository has exited.
[lnet: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. - connect(2)]

[Khariz]

You have any kind of proxy server enabled or anything like that? Seems like it's having a hard time communicating with the Lich server.

[Shadow Shot]

No. Is it possible the server is just rejecting me? Would flushing my IP address possibly help?

[Khariz]

might also try uninstalling and reinstalling Ruby

[Shadow Shot]

No luck. What I don't understand is I can't even connect to lichproject.org. I can't do either. So I'm really confused as to how I can fix it. Any other ideas?

[Khariz]

Ahh, so, that's actually kind of helpful. Either Tillmen has your ISP blocked on his end on some kind of blacklist, or perhaps something wonky in your HOSTS file. I remember reading about something. Let me try to find it.

What ISP do you have? Can you open up a command prompt and do a tracert to lichproject.org and see where it's getting bundled up?

Edit: Never mind. Tillmen has arrived to save the day, see below.

Should be fixed now.

The server was ignoring you because your autosetup script was doing terrible things to it. It would appear that after attempting to set many scripts to auto update, it would run ";repository download-updates" in a loop over and over until all the scripts were downloaded. The download-updates command downloaded everything it was going to download after the first run, but that didn't satisfy the loop. So, it just kept trying to download updates over and over again as fast as it could. Eventually the server had enough of that.

[Shadow Shot]

Oh boy. Sorry about that! And thanks for resetting it.

Khariz, thanks for your help!

Darn, I wish we could tag people here. Hazado should see this, he's the author of autosetup.
