I do appologize if this is posted in the incorrect forum.

When logging on (after entering PW) I get the message that I cannot enter the game due to probably not being connected to the internet (which obviously I am) or port number stuff. I have not changed anything since last time (nothing new installed etc.). Does anyone have a clue what is going on? Incidently, Steam also gives me a "cannot connect" error message.

And again, I am accessing the internet, i am posting : P

Well, that's two things that are failing to connect. That basically rules out a problem specific with EVE. You have some problem with either your computer or your connection. Restart your router and try again. If it doesn't work ... well, google it :)

EDIT: Also, being able to post on the forums doesn't mean everything is working as it should regarding networking. Things work on different protocols/ports, so you may have access to HTTP/HTTPS but not much else. Steam not working is a good giveaway of something wrong.

Good luck

Like i told the last guy for whom this also worked ...

Disconnect your modem ... reconnect it ... try again.

As weird as it sounds ... it helped both of us.

Make sure you have not got any other stuff running. If you are running a torrent download can this sometimes cause massive delays on one's side and the client gives up while other stuff seems fine (only takes longer).

If the problem persists try asking in Issues, Workarounds & Localization.

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

Most people would have actually glanced at IWL before posting in GD.




Wait...I may have some of that backwards.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Many "all in one" internet security products (Norton, McAfee) sometime block programs from accessing the internet.
