Connection Issues - Server does not respond

[Aidenius]

Have exactly the same problem as this topic http://www.forum.convoytrucking.net/index.php/topic,17799.15.html

Hello Everyone!

After downloading and installing Samp (The correct versions), and attempting to connect to servers, the server was not responding and it would just loop itself in attempt to reconnect.

I was initially convinced this was a firewall issue therefore have spent the past two days trouble shooting.

I have:

* Port forwarded and tests all the ports used for SAMP and SA and the server itself (All of which is working)

* Disabled all of my computer firewalls (Which had no affect)

I even reinstalled San Andreas and made sure that my software was up to date, all of which is okay.

After trying every single solution attempt I am desperately trying to get assistance.


No other of my games are affected by my router or firewalls so i'm very confused.

Any advice & help would be much appreciated!

Thank You

Michael Sharpe

Could you post a picture of the issue?

Do you happen to have software like peerblock?

Can you connect to other servers? Just not CVT?

All it says is

'Server is not responding...reconnecting'

And it cycles that over and over, on every server. I have no firewall or anti virus blocking it, all ports are forwarded, and all software is up to date.

It is possible that you are attempting to join when the server is full.  For Convoy Trucking, the server is considered full when it is at 96/100 because the final 4 slots are reserved for VIP (donators) and server admins/moderators.

Guys go away if u dont know how to help. I this issue few months ago. You need to call ur internet operator and ask him to change ur network ID and PASSWORD. that was the only thing that helped. I discovered it after 2 weeks since it happened, gl.

I have just manually changed my SSID name and Password and it had no affect on my connection problem, still looped trying to reconnect.

Impossible... What about disabling ur antivirus?

Its not impossible, SSID is wireless, it's the name that the wireless sends out. It's also the name you see when you try to connect to wireless, password would just be the password you use to connect to the wifi, my question still stands, Do you have any program like peerblock running on your computer?

[Aidenius]

No, I have no programmes like peer block.

I have the same problem with my laptop, I have taken it to another family members house and tried connecting to a server and it worked. therefore im guessing its something to do with my internet, yet all the ports are forwarded.

You shouldn't have to forward ports to connect to a sa-mp server, port forwarding is so you can host stuff so other people can connect to it out of your network. Ping the server ip and see if you get a response. If you can ping it from your router, if you do get a response then it's your computer.

[Aidenius]

It pings fine yet I cannot connect, its deffinitly not my computer as if I connect to a different internet it works? So confused!

You could'nt help either I suggested MAYBE it was a CVT specific problem which could have helped. Others had suggested that maybe it had to do with software or firewalls. Maybe your solution helped because you don't know how to work a computer machine.

So you go away.

I agree.  Each of us suggested a possible cause.  I, along with my brother, encounter this similar situation when the server is at 96+/100.  The attempt times out and it automatically attempts to make another connection.  Eventually, we either get the grey ban message, SA-MP encounters a crash, or we actually get to the point that we can enter a password.  Very rarely do we get the server full message.  This started after upgrading to ver. 0.3d.

Never think that your solution is the only one.

[Deff]

But why do people have problem with it?

Isn't it better just to wait there till we connect instead of typing /q and joining back when server kicks you for being full ?

[Aidenius]

hmmm still seeking solution?

[Konali]

tbh, i never saw a situation like this before and i think you tried the basic solutions already.
it seems strato had the same problem, forum PM him to see if he has the solution
