Network button remains orange

Post by Max »

Hello, unfortunately I cannot connect to other networks. The Network button remains orange. I also don't see any public hubs. Firewall and router have been checked and an older version has been tested. Sorry for my English, I'm German. ;)

Hi. When you first ran JoinFS did Windows ask if you wanted to allow it through the firewall?

So what happens if you enter aviator.digitalthemepark.com and click join?

On the Windows command line can you try these:

ping aviator.digitalthemepark.com

Ok, it shows up in my monitor window correctly, so the connection was fine getting out. However, for some reason it looks like the response didn't make it back to your machine. Have you tried setting up port forwarding on your router. Port 6112, UDP-only, to your PC. You will have to set a static IP address on your PC to do it.

Hello Peter, I have already released this port and set up a static IP address.

Is it definitely UDP only?

Could you create a new session there and let me know. I will try to join it. Don't worry about the address I have that from when you tried to connect to me.

Also leave the monitor window open, right-click to enable Network information. Then we can see if you get anything at all when I join.

Oh, well that's great to hear, Max. Must have been some local configuration issue then.

Thanks for the update.

Hi Peter, now all of a sudden JoinFS doesn't work anymore. The same error. I have not made any changes. What can I do?

It must be something to do with your network/router configuration, or network software such as an antivirus or something like that.

Hello Peter, I have not changed anything on the router and I have no antivirus except the one from Windows. JoinFS was running fine until three days ago....
