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.

Seems fair thanks

Tillman,

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

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