Problems with TS servers and Win XP

[Napalm]

none of my clan can get TS server working on XP (client works fine), including myself. I used to run it on Win2k no problems.

When i install the server on XP, i can open it once, then close it, and the the server prog will not open again, ever.

This is the error i get in the log report.

Help would be much appreciated. IF you need specs etc, then let me know

Thanks

hi,

change the port in the ini file...

Its set to the default 8765 already. Isn't that the correct one? Ive tried 8766 also, but with no success. I've tried reinstalling again too. And still same problem.

Thanks

Try it with a higher port number. Like 25000, e.g.
But if XP blocks a bigger port range I can't help you with it, because I use Win2k or Linux. Maybe somebody knows how to unlock the standard voice port in XP...

Its odd that it won't open the port again, try disabling the Windows XP firewall and see if that helps..

[Napalm]

Im not using XP firewall, using a Sygate one, and it doesnt flash up saying that TS is trying to access the Net. Even with the firewall off the program wont boot. :/

Thanks

And you say that everyone in your clan has the same problem when they try to use TS Server?

Try download the latest TS Server from our website then, and delete/uninstall the old version you have installed..

[Napalm]

Ive tried both versions already of TS server, and tried reinstalling several times. Ive even reformatted since trying it for the first time, and still no joy. Each time I resinstall it will open once, and then once i close it, it wont open again, and thats without touching ANY settings.

Thanks

I have XP and im encountering the same problems. Ive already tried setting the port to 25000 or something lower like 10000. When i try to connect to the server it gives me an error. I think it was error 1100

[LuCiFeR]

Correction: Error -1000
Socket Error # 11004

the user you are logged on as, does it have admin rights? power user or user or something you setup yourself?

[LuCiFeR]

Im not sure what you mean. Do I have to set something up on my user to make a server? All I did was download the client and then the server and configured it.

I am having the same trouble also. No firewall, multiple ports, even a twist of lime doesnt help I am running as administrator. I really would hope that there is more support out there than this! I would imagine that at least most of are smart enough too in that we dont need all the dumb posts in responce. This isnt an issue that any end user will solve, its a problem from within the server. Please help us to fix it.

[LuCiFeR]

I dont get it. Whenever I try to connect to my server by its name, it gives me that socket error. BUT i was reading the help documentation and now I'm able to connect to it by putting in the IP address and port number. When one of my friends gets on I'll ask him if he can connect to it as well.

Sounds like a DNS problem. Look up the DNS for the name you were using. Sam Spade for Windows is good for this.

If you use a non-standard port in the server ini file, you need to specify that port in the client, like this:

servername:12345
