Running Windows 10 machine that has just been re-installed. I cannot see any hubs in the public hub section. Running Avast Premium Security but JoinFS added as an exception / allowed program. Previously, before formatting the machine, JoinFS worked fine.Ideas?

Are you running JoinFS 1.5.12?

What happens if you join 'aviator.digitalthemepark.com'? Does it join, and do you then get a list of hubs?

Peter

Thanks Pete - do I join that URL from JoinFS? so enter the url in the join section? If so then nothing happens - the network button stays yellow

Attached is a screenshot

It looks like JoinFS has no access to the internet. Is it being blocked by your firewall? Usually Windows will ask you when you first run JoinFS whether to allow it through the firewall. Do you know how to check the firewall?

Peter

It did not ask me to open the firewall - I think I have opened it - could you guide me through the process just to confirm pls

Opened Windows firewall, uninstalled Avast - still no luck

Click on the bottom left of the screen to show the Windows menu.
Choose Settings
Choose Network And Internet
Choose Firewall
Choose Allow An App Through The Firewall
Find JoinFS in the list
Make sure Private is ticked
Click Ok.

Hopefully that will work.

In JoinFS, open File|Monitor and see what messages appear.

Are you able to access the internet on that machine?

Might be a DNS problem. What happens if you try to join "162.248.88.180" ?

Peter

Yes I can access the internet - on this machine
This is in monitor->

When I try and join that IP - the network button remains orange

What if you click Create, does the network button go green?

Peter

To answer your question - Yes when clicking create the network button goes green

Do you use Discord? There are a couple of things we could try.

That's strange, I'm sure I created a permanent one last week. Oh well, I've just changed the link again.

Peter

Hi Pete - on the discord, just waiting for the 10 minute "block" to run out
