Fine for me... As usual now... Very strange. But happy

Beta, do you or your internet provider have an IP filter? Or a firewall bloquing certain domains? I know for example that AOL is very selective : I can't write emails to my friends using AOL with my normal private email adress. I have to use my gmail one. Which is stupid : it should be the other way round

So, perhaps your provider is bloquing incoming data from certain domains?

Someone I was playing with last night mentioned "holding down the shift key while loading Civ" to clear the chatch.

Seems to easy to be true, but they swore by it.

[Rhothaerill]

Still can't connect. I tried it as normal first, and then went out of it and reloaded Civ4 with Pinchak's tactic. Nothing either way.

I was able to connect with my 4th try!

Yippeee!!!

Those barbs are pain in the ass if you can't log in every turn.

[Rhothaerill]

Well I missed last turn, but I was able to log in and play this turn. Yay!

We blame Beta!

I am starting to think this may be the issue. As everything else is either shut down or set correctly.

But I still refer to Teach Alexman. I can connect to my other 8 games on the first try, all the time. Teach Alex, it is much better now (that I can connect), but often it still takes 5 or 6 attempts to connect.

I am planning on switching to a new ISP shortly, and from DSL to cable, and from a fast service to a super fast service.

In the meantime, all I can do is say sorry. Blame me. It's all my fault......

The first step on the road to recovery is admitting you have a problem.

The speed is perhaps also a way to investigate. In the time where I had problems to connect, my connection speed in general was bad. Now it's better and I don't have any issue anymore to connect...

[Rhothaerill]

Sigh. Can't connect again.

[Wittlich]

Ephack might have a point here ... I have DSL and I don't have any problem connecting.

[Rhothaerill]

Again, I don't have any problems connecting to any of my other Pitboss games. Every one of them connects right away.

And I have a cable connection.

[Wittlich]

That is strange Rhoth....maybe your computer doesn't like connecting to a Canadian computer...
