Lnet Not Working

[kodiakbar]

All of the sudden getting this message:

If this hasn't resolved itself already, what's your character name?

Not sure if its related but i'm still on win7 and getting this message:

That's the same thing.

There's a few things that can cause that error message:

1. The server is down. (it's not)

2. The server is pretending it's down because it hates you. I could check and fix it if you tell me your character name.

3. You have a firewall blocking connections to that server and/or port. Usually Avast does this without asking/telling you, but any firewall might.

4. You ain't got no interwebz.

Fairly sure it hates me:

The characters are Maestor, Blaestar

Fixed.

Amazing thanks,

Can you let me know what I did to trip protection? I was monkeying around with the repoGUI script. Should I just avoid connecting to it all outside of ;repos?

[Tillmen]

It started blocking you because you gave the web server an bad hostname (repo.lichproject.org). Bots that scan the internet for web servers to exploit and annoy generally don't know the hostname, so that's why I block them. I'm thinking about allowing repo.lichproject.org now, even though there's no website for it.

Don't try to fix the repogui script. Burn it with fire. There is no part of it that is compatible with the new repository server.

You can try out ;repository gui

It's not complete and doesn't download or upload or search anything, but it'll show you all the scripts and their comments and stats.

Tillman,

I too am having the lnet connection problem. Character name Dagor.

Obviously I do not recall how to use lich...

I'm going to guess that you're using a very old version of lnet that's attempting to connect to a server that doesn't exist anymore. You can update to a recent version of Lich using the instructions on the website, or just download the repoistory script from
https://lichproject.org/download/repository.lic
and put it in your scripts folder and use it to download lnet.

Apologies Tillman as I am absolutely certain this is MY ignorance. I tried creating a script in StormFront and pasting the script in there but?

It did not work.

Could I get a bit more direction please?

All you need to do is right-click on the link, select save as (or something like that depending on your browser) and then select your Lich script folder as the place to save it. If you're not sure where your Lich script folder is, you can type this in game and it will tell you:
;e echo $script_dir

After it's downloaded, you should be able to:
;repository download lnet

And then you can either log out and back in, or just kill and restart lnet like this:
;k lnet
;lnet

Tillan,

I must be sleepy. Got it. Fixed it.

Thank you.

Getting the same error again -- and this time I was not messing with anything odd or trying to connect to the repo from an outdated program.

Maestor, and Blaestar

Doesn't look like the server is ignoring you this time. Might be a firewall or random internet failure.

[Augierose]

This is the same problem I am having -- Augierose/Augienna/Augustinia

Should be fixed now.

An application with the user agent "Microsoft Office Protocol Discovery" sent an HTTP request using the OPTIONS method to ps.lichproject.org from your IP. This appears to be Microsoft Office checking to see if the server supports WebDAV, or something. While asking a web server for options sounds innocent enough, it's actually not a normal thing. This is the first time it has happened to my web server that wasn't someone looking for a way to exploit it. Anyhow, I changed it so if it happens again it'll just reject the request without banning the IP. So you should be good unless your word processor decides to do some other crazy thing that a word processor shouldn't do.

Resurrecting this old thread. I'm having this same issue running Lich5.6.2 on Mac/Parallels/Windows10. Tried all the usual remedies. Any suggestion?
