I'm on a remote satellite connection at work, and am pretty sure most everything is blocked on the company internet router.
All I want to do is change skills too.
But I'm a networking newbie - is what I'm trying correct?
I don't have the eve client here so can't test connection directly, but pinging Eve at 87.237.38.200 using a cmd box on XP does give me an answer (900+ms but hey).
Can I ping the specific port, ie 26000 or 3274? Does ping just use port 80?
Am I likely to be able to connect?

I changed the port directly in the prefs.ini
Quote: port=3724
And when I start EVE netstat shows that it is indeed connecting to that port.
Hope this helps. -- EVE Mobile Skill Planner V2 http://evemsp.sourceforge.net/ |

A few points:
No one owns a port number. The reason the Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) used to publish a list of port numbers had to do with the concept of a "well-known port number" as a facilitator of communication between parties who have never communicated before (you, for instance, and some web server).
The concept is that for any widely used service such as HTTP (Web), ftp, telnet, etc., it would be helpful if everyone understood that the service has a preferred or commonly used port number wherever it is running and listening for connections. Otherwise, even if you were able to translate www.ibm.com to IP address 129.42.60.212, you wouldn't know which port to try to connect to at that address. The establishment of "well-known port numbers" by IANA solved that. Web service using HTTP became known to generally operate at port 80. And thus a whole long list of well-known port numbers evolved.
Note that a well-known port number is only useful where the communicating parties have no prior communication by which to agree on a port number. A game, whose server only receives connections from the game clients it distributes, has little need for a well-known port number. The downloaded or CD client already knows the IP address and port number to which to connect. It is useful if lots of people want to connect to www.wikipedia.org and their browsers can presume that the server there will be listening for connections on port 80. Nothing is accomplished by having 26000 or any other port number "assigned" for use by Quake or Eve or any other game software if the game clients are delivered already knowing the port number to connect to at their respective servers. Nor does it matter if different games use the same port number.
Port numbers are like telephone extension numbers. A million companies can all have, say, extension 100, and there is no interference whatsoever between them.
Any of the ISPs who believe they are accomplishing something by blocking or regulating or shaping traffic on connections established to port 26000 at the Eve cluster IP address is fooling themselves and causing a lot of trouble for a lot of people needlessly. The Eve connection is NOT high-bandwidth. Maybe in the early days of MMOGs there was heavy traffic, and some games may still generate heavy traffic, but in a game like Eve all the heavy lifting is done at and by the client, not by sending gobs of information back and forth.
When you rotate your view in space, it is your client doing that. The server either doesn't care, or will only care at some later time when you do something, or will only care when you stop the rotation. In any of those cases, the client only needs to send a bare few bytes to the server to tell it your new viewpoint orientation. A few bytes.
When you're flying you might think the server has to send all manner of data for the objects you are passing, but no. The client does that on the basis of concise descriptions of the objects near you and their locations and orientations. The images of the objects are retrieved from the server just once, then cached.
Your mining lasers, your weapons effects, the enemy exploding, all of those are managed and presented locally by the client, with very little information exchanged with the server.
In Windows you can see this by launching Task Manager and selecting the networking tab. You can configure the displayed data at the bottom of the screen to show you bytes/second in and out. Do that and open the Char Sheet or the Market and pull up some prices. Undock and fly around, or kill some rats. You will be surprised at how little data goes back and forth.

Edited by: Zanpt on 28/12/2007 04:42:54 This makes perfect sense because all the Eve traffic has to concentrate at one point -- the cluster in London. If CCP can shave one byte per second from the average client traffic, it saves them 30-40,000 bytes per second on their Internet feed. Concise traffic makes Eve possible. ISPs who think Eve could have an effect on their networks are stupid. Anyone doing high-speed Web surfing can generate far more traffic than Eve ever generates.
On the subject of the Eve login screen being unable to connect: You should be aware that the Eve login program has long had a bug that causes it to forget the Eve IP address under abnormal conditions such as a disconnect. You must ALWAYS launch a new Eve in order to try another connection. If you try to reuse the one that just failed, it will likely claim to be unable to connect and will suggest you enter the correct IP address (which, of course, you can't).
The Eve login screen application also has (or at least certainly did have, before Trinity) an inexplicable timeout. If you dilly-dally too long, it will not work. If you take too long at the char selection screen, it will not work.
So the general rule should be that if you have ANY difficulty with the login, close it and launch a new one. This is particularly true if you are experimenting with alternative port numbers. Once the login app reports a problem, DO NOT TRUST IT AGAIN. Close it and relaunch.
Note that malfunctions such as those described above can make a terrible confusion out of things like the present topic of connecting via an alternative port number. You try to connect and can't, you make a change and try again to connect and can't, you make another change... etc. If all but the first result were lies because the login program forgot CCP's IP address, you have just gone in circles and been misled. Perhaps some of your changes would have worked had you launched a fresh Eve login.

UPDATE: Just got off the phone with NTL tech support. First the guy said that as long as I can watch websites and check my emails they are keeping to their part of the deal. Of course I told them that when I was thinking about getting their service I specifically asked about online gaming and the sales person said that their service is great for that. So he checked with his supervisor and apparently this problem has been reported already several times (what a surprise) so they are checking it at the moment. He said he would get back to me by the end of the day with an update on how things are going. Lets see if they keep to that promise. I am not getting my hopes up though because they have said they would call before and then they just dont.
Anyways I will post here if they call me.
Hey Ken, did they ever get back to you? I'll be phoning in the morning, now i know what the issue is. I'm also from Dublin and using NTL. I didn't have any issues when i was over in Canada and to come home to this farce is a pain.

Didn't work, didn't work, didn't work...
Changed the prefs.ini as outlined by wrangler. Also changed the prefs.ini file in eve's cache directory. Neither altered the login screen. Changed the port manually and that didn't do anything.
Went to reboot, canceled the reboot. Tried again. It works. Lucky timing? ____

ok, I have tried to change the port manually. I have tried to use the Http Tunnel. I have tried all kinds of different ports. (too many to list) However nothing I do makes a difference. Every time I go to log in it tells me "Could not connect to the specified address. Odds are that you have not established an internet connection, the server isn't running, or the server address or port number was wrong."
I'm out of ideas and getting frustrated. Could anybody please help out.

Originally by: CCP Wrangler In order to use port 3724, it will be necessary to open your C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Local Settings\Application Data\CCP\EVE\settings folder if you use XP or C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\CCP\EVE\settings if you use VISTA and edit the PREFS.INI file. Please change the networkAdvanced=0 to networkAdvanced=1. You will notice that the Eve logon screen will now have a PORT option. Please type in 3724 into the box and connect as normal.
Not sure if someone's already encountered this, but after I changed the networkAdvanced from 0 to 1, it didn't provide me with a PORT option on the logon screen. (Yes, I restarted the client!)
Any idea why that's the case? _______________ Scorpio of Xanadu
