Title: Users getting disconnected
Post by: CarpeDiem on 03 March, 2004, 02:36:59

Having some major proplems in my private hub. Running testdrive 4 with RoboCop 5.0b. It has been running very smoothly untill today.....all of a sudden, *pof*....all users was gone. I rebooted computer and hub and now a lot of my users can?t connect.
In PtokaX it looks like this:
[02:13] - User disconnected: lucas690
[02:13] x User removed: lucas690
[02:13] - User disconnected: TheCaptain
[02:13] x User removed: TheCaptain

Hub software related or script related ?? Any ideas anyone ??

Some users informed me they get the message " your nick was already taken".

Any information about this problem will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

do you know the users that get disconnected ?

[02:13] - User disconnected: lucas690
[02:13] x User removed: lucas690
[02:13] - User disconnected: TheCaptain
[02:13] x User removed: TheCaptain

you don't give enough info too see if it's the hub or script. But it's not weird that ppl get disconnected if you have setup rules for max hubs, max slots etc.

Hi [NL]Pur

Yes I know the users. It?s a private hub so this are registered users.

did you try run without scripts?

I?m trying that right now....to figure out if it?s related to PtokaX or the script.

Same problem when running the hub without script :-(

you could also try a clean ptokax install and then coping the registeredusers.dat too the new install.

and without scripts, this way you are sure it's ptokax and not windows, or maby it are windows settings or cable or router or provider?

The testrun without script was a clean PtokaX install... so it must be a PtokaX problem I guess.

Anyway...thx for responding :-)
Gonna install the hub on another computer to see how that works.

Have a nice day :-))

If that's the case then try this script ;)

Code Select

-- Nick Already taken fix V.1

function DataArrival(curUser,data)
	if (strsub(data,1,13) == "$ValidateNick") then
		local _,_,curNick = strfind(data,"$ValidateNick%s+(%S+)|")
		if curNick and GetItemByName(curNick) then
			GetItemByName(curNick):SendData(" NickCorrelation, somebody is trying to connect with your Nick.")
			curUser:SendData(" Either your Nick "..format('%q',curNick).." is already taken or try to reconnect in a few seconds.")
			curUser:Disconnect()
		elseif not curNick then
			curUser:Disconnect()
		end
	end
end

I had the same problem. Try another port, typically higher up like 1000+. Seems my ISP has some restrictions on port 411 and 412.

I just remembered something else. My router, DLink, was also very picky about forwarding ports to IPs that were not registered in its DHCP. It's a long shot but there's still a chance.

If this doesn't work you may want to try changing variables in the equation to see if you find the cause. Try a different computer, try hosting a different service on your computer, try connecting to the hub through a LAN computer, etc.

Hi.. it's me again...

I've the same problem...

[03:55] - User disconnected: dunsel
[03:55] x User removed: dunsel
[03:55] - User disconnected: ramuffel??
[03:55] x User removed: ramuffel??

The users clients do not reconnect auto. to the hub.. don't know why...

I installed a clear new version of testdrive 4 and without scripts.. only reguserdata.. but same prob...

I'm behinde a D-Link Router, do I have to open another port?? but why can same user reconnect auto. and the other can't..?? so I couldn't imagine that there is a prob with the ports..

Carpe do you managed this prob?? I also try to install on another PC and there is the same.. but my client could connect auto. over the LAN.. Help... my users become angry.. :-(
