CCP Wrangler	Posted - 2007.10.24 13:25:00 - [1] We are aware that a number of members of the Community are having difficulties connecting to the port for Tranquility and we have been investigating options on our part to ensure that our community is able to logon to EVE-Online without issue. If a user is experiencing difficulties connecting to our default port for Tranquility, you may now have the option to use port 3724. We recommend this port only be used if you are not able to connect to port 26000. Since this is not the official EVE port, support for connection issues will be limited. In order to use port 3724, it will be necessary to open your C:\|Documents and Settings\|%USER%\|Local Settings\|Application Data\|CCP\|EVE\|settings folder if you use XP or C:\|Users\|%USER%\|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.

Chribba Otherworld Enterprises Otherworld Empire	Posted - 2007.10.24 16:39:00 - [15] I still think you should forward _all_ ports in your router to TQ:26000 so we can chose any port we want in order to connect... It took quite some time to open ONE additional port, why didn't you just slap on an entire range of ports while you were at it? Secure 3rd party service .

Wild Rho Amarr Imperial Shipment	Posted - 2007.10.24 16:51:00 - [16] I get as far as entering game but the connection times out or closes before I get ingame Was hoping this would be a workable work around for tiscali users

Lemy Caution Minmatar	Posted - 2007.10.24 18:02:00 - [19] Originally by: Breal D'nie Edited by: Breal D''nie on 24/10/2007 17:40:27 I know very little about ports and such, but i thought the port number was specific to the router itself. ie port 3724 on ccp's server has nothing to do with 3724 on blizzards. just my ignorance possibly. also, could this possibly be a partial solution to reducing lag? if we could split the load to different ports, would that reduce the bottle neck? again, possibly noobish ignorance... :) Thought I could help out here: Every IP Address can be connected to by a number of services. These service sort themselves by ports. For example when you are using a web browser, you are connecting by port 80 - when using a 'secure' web site, port 443, or ftp 23. Some services also communicate on 'ad hoc' ports in higher ranges - on a more complicated level you might here people talk about ports being, 'open' or alternately 'forwarded' - this is an organization system for services. Technically any service (like EVE) can run on any port, but officially humanity has tried to organize them for better traffic management. If we didn't it would be really hard to run email, or the web in a consistent manner. I don't know why this is happening to EVE really, but it sounds to me like some users ISP's are doing some traffic management. If this is true, I highly suggest to anyone who is experiencing this ccomplain to your ISP immediately. Support some hope of net neutrality for our civilization by engaging your rights as a consumer.

ICE Blade Minmatar Deadly Addiction	Posted - 2007.10.24 20:15:00 - [22] Edited by: ICE Blade on 24/10/2007 20:16:13 OK, its was working for me then eve kicked me about 1 hour ago on port 3724, can't log in on either port now Tiscali still blocking port 26000 and your one just times out now 3724. Just getting Authenticating for abour 2 mins then: Connection FAILED Connection Timeout - The server did not respond to the client's secure-handshake request within a reasonable amount of time. Its a good job I am going to talk talk, I hate Tiscali.
Cosmic Vortex	Posted - 2007.10.24 20:20:00 - [23] Why not just use port 80 and be done with it? That should be allowed through just about every firewall?
Dirk Fallows Caldari Galley-la	Posted - 2007.10.24 20:37:00 - [24] Edited by: Dirk Fallows on 24/10/2007 20:37:49 Originally by: Cosmic Vortex Why not just use port 80 and be done with it? That should be allowed through just about every firewall? Unfortunatly some bright (l)ISPs (l for limited) transparently proxies connections to port 80. 443(https) might be a better choice as I've yet to see anyone doing any blocking/proxying for that port. --edit: grammar -- Ceterum censeo reinforcements needs to stop shooting drones.
ICE Blade Minmatar Deadly Addiction	Posted - 2007.10.24 20:39:00 - [25] Well port 80 does not work either, I am changing ISP
TimGascoigne	Posted - 2007.10.24 21:09:00 - [26] Here at the University of Bradford they have blocked port 26000. So for the last couple of months I have had to move between a continuous HTTP(S) proxy servers using proxy firewall v1.0.4 and then updating the list of proxies with new lists that are updated each week. This may help anyone who still cannot get on to tranquility. btw when I use this new port I still cannot see this the server status. However I can still login and play just fine. so if it says sever status unknown don't worry just logon. P.S. this is great work by the DEV's now only if they understand that the recent changes to carriers is a nerf because it is impossible to assign fighter drones because of the lag created in fleet battle and That's why people use them as solo machines.
Jovoich Towers Inc.	Posted - 2007.10.24 21:19:00 - [27] Thanks for the help ccp but its not working for me :( I'm planning on fire bombing tiscali offices, anyone want in?
Wagstaff	Posted - 2007.10.24 22:24:00 - [28] Originally by: CCP Wrangler It's not their port, they don't own it. It was assigned to them by the IANA. Who also assigned 26000 to Quake, and maybe that's the reason 26000 gets blocked or shaped in some places. It would help if you picked a port that wasn't shared with somebody who will tempt ISPs to block or shape your traffic; maybe even go to the IANA yourselves and get one assigned to you.
Princess Enjel	Posted - 2007.10.24 22:45:00 - [29] Google AnalogX Portmapper You can use software like this to portmap from your ip address:port to CCPs:Port OFC its third party software and CCP will say if you get hacked, etc or it has nasties then you are screwed basically but its been around for years and ive been using it for years well that is until I bought a router.

rittersporn2 Mostly Harmless	Posted - 2007.10.24 23:55:00 - [31] My 42 cent on ports and proxies and why I don't think the new ports will change a lot: Often people are behind firewalls. Most firewalls are working very strict by blocking all unknown traffic so most likely if you are blocked on port 26000 (which is a defacto port for online games since Quake1 started to use it in 1996) you are most likely also blocked on other ports. Whenever Firewalls are around it is often required to use a proxy - either by manually entering one into your software, eg browser, or a transparent proxy which basically catches your normal communication and relays it through a proxy. The Problem about a proxy: it is applicationspecific. So a proxy may relay http/web, ftp, irc and so on, but only protocols which it is aware of. Thats because a proxy actually interacts with the client, server and application and is not just handing data through. So most likely a proxy will NOT support unknown stuff like Quake, Urban Terror, EVE, your favorite P2P software and so on. As a proxy is rarely under control of the users behind it we simple endusers can't change what a proxy is aware of. Simple, over and out. Two solutions: 1. Using a Proxy compliant way of communication. CCP could develop a more robust and traditional alternative protocol for proxy users. One could pack the EVE-communication inside HTTP-valid data, which has become the lingua franca of the net anyway. If carefully crafted this works very well. But it produces some additional overhead, traffic, lag and CCPs router/servers might need more power. All in all I think it isn't flawless but should be doable and without major drawbacks. 2. Using tunneling through SSH SSH is the standard protocol for remote control and rarely blocked. If you happen to have access to a computer in the internet running ssh (be it windows or unix) you might tunnel a port by using ssh and Putty: ssh -g -L26000:87.237.38.200:26000 yourinternetserver.com Or you use Putty which supports tunneling under Connection=>SSH=>Tunnels. Now the problem: CCP doesn't allow us to supply our own server address. Usually I would connect to something like localhost:26000 or gateway:26000 but I can't enter it at the logon screen. So one has to define an alias address for the physical data of CCPs server with something like (linux) ifconfig eth0:0 87.237.38.200 on the gateway. Not very nice to be honest. Don't ask me how to do it with windows but I think W2K and WXP can do aliasing too. All in All I would hope for a closer contact between CCP and network-aware users to make tunneling and proxying a lot more workable.

All in All I would hope for a closer contact between CCP and network-aware users to make tunneling and proxying a lot more workable. Actually, if your proxy supports connecting securely to HTTPS sites, it's easy enough to build an app to tunnel through that. See this document for a bit more information. Note that you may have to slightly reconfigure your proxy to do this, but a remarkable number of the ones I've tested disable 25, 22, 23, 21, etc., but default to allow because of the large number of strange SSL ports in use (in URI's, you'll often see ":8080", ":8888", and so forth). If you have no idea what I'm talking about, my standard rate for non-contract network consultation is $75/hour, or $150/hour for on-site work. --P Kosh: The avalanche has already started.

LancerSix Dirty Deeds Corp. Axiom Empire	Posted - 2007.10.25 02:34:00 - [35] In Windows I believe theres something you can do involving the Hosts file to redirect traffic to a remote address back through localhost, but I've never done it. Other than that Putty tends to be the easiest way to do things like this I find. Throw up an SSH server (could even do it on 80 probably, if you wanted to be sneaky) and go to town through a perfectly encrypted tunnel .

Considering the reason for them blocking the port, that would probably be my suggestion. That is so dumb that they call it unreasonable use. So then they are going to say that they will be setting up filters to prevent you from downloading anything off the internet since you are not browsing anymore but transfering files to the pc? Man I hope that is not your only isp in the area. although it is technically their network, there should be some kind of law against blocking usage of games etc since an internet connection is not defined as a connection for which a customer can only browse web content on. If this issue would have been about P2P being blocked then I could understand because of the high percentage of people who use it for illegal purposes. Blocking games is just plain stupid and if they are not the only provider you can get then they are only shooting themselves in the foot.

Also SSH is 22. In regards to this alternative port, I really don't see the need for it. The people complaining about not being able to access eve are probably either... A) At work, which means they shouldn't be on eve anyways as that is not what they are being paid to do. or B) At some kind of public internet place which do not want you using their bandwidth for gaming purposes (library / university / wifi networks etc). If you are on campus and wanna play eve, then get an internet account from the local ISP for your dorm room. The blocks are there for a reason. If by some chance a residential isp is actually blocking this from your connection at home, then contact them to find out why. If they don't have an answer about if it is blocked, then ask to have them escalate a ticket to verify if port 2600 is blocked / filtered. In the meantime for an alternative port you can always use port 6667 provided your irc network isn't on the same system as eve. :) The reason 26000 port gets blocked (for me) is because of my ISP Tiscali blocking that port. They define internet games as "unreasonable use" as their service is for "internet browsing only". So they stop people playing them. I know what your going to say - change provider Tiscali said yesterday............ "This hasn't died a death yet. The team that I am dealing with are still addressing this, and although this is a priority to you gamers, it doesn't affect the other million plus customer we have. This issue is going forward, and will I'm sure be resolved in due course, it just happens that their due course is not the same as the gamers. I know this will upset everybody, but at least we're not ignoring this.

Aeco Feife	Posted - 2007.10.25 17:59:00 - [50] Just wanted to add that I had real trouble using port 26000, and couldn't figure it out even with my network admin's help for the longest time (I'm not real bright). But turns out the traffic shaper was classifying all EVE traffic as Quake-A due to the port number, a class the admin had already severely restricted. Once he realized that EVE was being considered as Quake by the shaper, he was able to change a priority and now its dreamy. I don't need the new port now, but good move CCP for folks with less compliant admins.

I would guess that Tiscali perhaps don't block 26000 port directly but they do something at peak times that has gives that result. Reading Tiscali's response (cutting through the management speak and crap) basically says gamers are not significant to their business, and the problem would cost more to solve than the revenue those gamers produce. I know other Tiscali users that have had no problems with 26000; they are quite literally log on and playing whilst I and others can't get in.

Hugh Ruka Caldari Exploratio et Industria Morispatia	Posted - 2007.11.27 15:32:00 - [78] Was not yet able to check at home. But looking at the discussion, I have a few points. CCP could set up a socks-proxy server as alternate connection that listens on the usual ports (443, 1080, pop3(s), imap4(s), 3278, the list could go on) and forwards this traffic to TQ server. This way many folks can use applications like SocksCap to tunnel through almost any network (I use that at work). For those behind firewalls that block anything but HTTP 80 port. If you are able to connecto to HTTPS sites, there is a good change the proxy supports the CONNECT command. Google for NetCAP, a small HTTP tunneling application that can help you with this. Be aware that these solutions can only tunnel TCP traffic. No UDP (so teamspeak, ventrillo are out of options).

HTH Tiscali really are useless, I can't wait to get away from them tbh. 'Eve, possibly as addictive as drink & drugs, only less understood, which could make it inherently more dangerous'
Ken Kintano	Posted - 2007.11.28 11:35:00 - [80] Hi, So I am thinking about trying this trick at home later tonight. Just wondering...if there is no change with that port, can I just change it back to 26000? I ask because right now I can connect but with some difficulties. For example, when I start the program it takes the launcher a very long time (15 - 20 seconds) to update the server status. I am not very good with networking issues, but I would assume that this means that it is taking my computer very long time to get the information from the EVE server. At work, the server status updates almost immediately. A couple of days ago, I was getting disconnects almost every 2 - 5 minutes. For some reason that has stopped now, even though I still get a disconnect every once in a while (maybe once an hour or so). Also, I have to often restart the launcher in order to be able to connect at all. What I mean by this is, that I put it my login information and press connect and then it doesnt go pass "Authenticating". So I close the launcher and restart it and try again, eventually (usually after 3 or 4 tries) I connect and can play. I was wondering if someone with some knowledge in this area can make out what the issue could be based on this symptoms. :-) I did pingplotter and there is no problems that I can tell there. In a one hour reading (one reading per minute) I get one or two package losses of 3 - 5%. I dont think this would be the problem, or is that low percentage package loss already enough to cause a disconnect? Thanks for any information! :-)

Ken Kintano	Posted - 2007.11.29 19:50:00 - [83] Well, I tried to use port 3724 and I connected but got disconnected again after a minute or so. I tried twice and it was the same thing. Then I went back into my prefs.ini and wanted to change it back to normal. So I set advancedNetwork=0 and changed the port back to 26000. Now when I start EVE the launcher wont even get the server status. It checks for several minutes and then it says "status unkowns". I am really getting frustrated here. I cant even play and I just payed for 3 months! I called my ISP and they assured me that they do not close or restrict any ports. Its Chorus NTL btw, in Republic of Ireland. I have tried deactivating Window Firewall and Anti virus software, I have added port 26000 as an exception for the fire wall, uninstalled Eve and installed it again. Done pingplotter which doesnt show anything unusual and I am running out of idea. Please, if anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it. Before I tried using port 3724 I could at least paly EVE even though it took me about 3 or 4 tries until I was able to log in, but now I cant even log in. I dont know what else to do. Please help. Thanks.

Sina, that is a rather stupid statement. For one, how is it CCP's fault that your* isp decides to block games ?

It doesnt seem to help for me. Yes, I am stupid enough to be a tiscali customer. I am currently in a dialogue with their technical support guys. On inital contact they claim that it is an issue with network speed due to contention ratios (which is a strange thing for an ISP to admit to). They are clearly wrong though. I can play other games with no problems and my ping and speed are acceptable. I didnt have the problems last year that the 8meg customers were having, but I have had 2 incidences of not being able to connect in the last week. I am on their old 2 meg connection.

Ken Kintano	Posted - 2007.12.07 10:48:00 - [91] Well, I still have the same connection problems. Thought maybe Tritiny would magically solve the issue, hehe. MY ISP is NTL in the Republic of Ireland and I have been trying to get a hold of a technitian, but their customer service is so bad it is unbelievable. I have called five times (always with hold times of 20 minutes and more) and I always get some CS Agent that doesn't have a clue what I am talking about. So three times I have requested a callbacl from a high level technitian and they have not called me back. It is unbelievalbe. I wish I could switch ISP but unfortunately there are not that many options in Ireland. The thing is I have been with this ISP since I live here in Dublin and I played EVE before just fine. Then I stopped for a couple fo months and started again, and now I am having all these disconnection issues. Is there anybody else in Dublin, Ireland that has NTL as the ISP?? It would be great to hear from others in this area and if they are having similar problems. Also, sometimes I get the message from EVE, when I losse connection" Connection was closed". Does this mean that my ISP or someone in between is actually blocking port 26000? I might have to use Your Freedom. Can someone tell me if the 4 Euro subscription is enough bandwidth to play EVE confortably or do you have to invest in the 4MB 10 Euro subscription? Thanks.

Omactus	Posted - 2007.12.08 13:24:00 - [94] I am also from Ireland and am using NTL in Waterford. I unplugged my NTL connection and used a mates Ripwave connection, its like a wireless broadband connection (almost like a mobile phone), and Eve ran just fine. Could connect first time out to Eve. Did not change anything on my pc bar the isp. So its really down to some setting NTL have witht the Eve client. Contacted both Eve support and NTL and both are blaming each other. Would be nice if CCP contacted NTL themselves rather than get ppl with no knowlege of what the problem might even be to do their work. I guess if CCP is making enough from those who can connect they wont bother worring about those that cant connect since 3 patches ago. Have not been able to connect to Eve now for over a month. No other online game I have has any problem connecting to their servers. And for those that tell me to change ISP to play Eve. Well I cant see why I should have to change ISP cause 1 and only 1 game has done something that my ISP does not like or whatever. Just wish CCP would sort this out. Laters all and best of luck.....
Tandar Asterkon	Posted - 2007.12.08 15:18:00 - [95] Just wanted to add the following: if you were used to change the server to 127.0.0.1 to use with for instance http-tunnel or some other http tunneler, you can do the same trick, executing from cmd line: "C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE\eve.exe" /end /server:127.0.0.1:26000 Or changing your shortcut icon on your desktop to have that target... Worked like a dream, but it's obscure so many people won't find it.

Naib Stilgar Amarr Core Domination	Posted - 2007.12.10 09:17:00 - [102] Originally by: Tandar Asterkon Just wanted to add the following: if you were used to change the server to 127.0.0.1 to use with for instance http-tunnel or some other http tunneler, you can do the same trick, executing from cmd line: "C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE\eve.exe" /end /server:127.0.0.1:26000 Or changing your shortcut icon on your desktop to have that target... Worked like a dream, but it's obscure so many people won't find it. Aha, glad to know someone has tested this on the windows client and it works. Now I need to know how to do the equivalent on a Mac client. "./cider /end /server:127.0.0.1:26000" doesn't have quite the same effect :( Cheers Stil
Ken Kintano	Posted - 2007.12.10 11:47:00 - [103] Well I am glad to see that there are other people with NTL in Ireland that are having the same problem I have. I suggest we all call NTL and just bother them till they might do something about it. I have called them 6 times now and still I have not gotten to speak to a technitian that new what he was talking about. I will keep trying even though with the kind extremely bad customer service NTL has, I dought I will get results any time soon.

Running windows XP, connection routed through an unknown router model (school router). P.s. ideally, forewarding through port 80, 8080 or 8888. _________________________________________________ A stealth bomber behaves like a panda - Eats shoots and leaves - Fi T'Zeh
Ceribrax Hentaro	Posted - 2007.12.11 16:27:00 - [105] Gents, I got the game working. No magical fix though. Had to use a http-tunneler (Your-Freedom) and OpenVPN to get through whatever was blocking me before. It works and I can play the game. Downside is that you can't play more than 6h/day and you only get 64kb/s. If someone finds a better solution, by all means, share, Really wasn't that hard to set up but it's not a long term fix.

Just boot it up, do the "test", then hit ok. I use the "free service" Then go "Settings" -put 26000 in the application port box -put 87.237.38.200 for the destination ip -click add -click ok then run the command line statement mentioned above to connect to local host ("C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE\eve.exe" /end /server:127.0.0.1:26000). If you can get on the internet, you should be able to connect to eve this way. I tested it myself, and it worked just fine.

Marahutu	Posted - 2007.12.12 15:14:00 - [110] As a NTL user I had a number of issues connecting to eve, and it turned that it was my router that was causing the issue, not NTL. I have a Dlink router and had set up the firewall to allow TCP port 26000 and UDP port 26001 traffic, however, I set them up as 2 different rules, (one for the TPC and one for UDP). In theory, the traffic coming in should look at each of the rules in turn, see if it matches a rule, and apply as necessary. But, this is DLink, and it was failing at the first rule and therefore dropping me out of the game. I resolved this by setting up one rule that covered both TCP and UDP for 26000 - 26001 port range, and have had no issues since (fingers crossed). Hope this helps some of you out there. Miph

Omactus	Posted - 2007.12.12 20:35:00 - [111] Sadly as I dont use a router this does not apply. I have tried running Eve now with no firewall running/installed. And I have also tried running it on XP and Vista. Seems this is either a problem with the Eve client itself or NTL. Have contacted both and both are pointing the finger and each other. Shame I had to pay good money to look at an icon on my desktop....

If you can get in using the tunnel, and could not at all before, that means that the port 2600 (and 3724) is blocked. Normally this is done from your router.

If you could log into the game at all (get to the character selection screen for example) then the port is not blocked, and it is a different issue. The tricky thing is that i can log in without the http tunnel with some exceptions every day , but only after 2:00 am for couple of hours then the connection to TQ goes dead again , usually if i get in its very laggy , emergency warps and desync all over the place , unplayble , i had only 1 day in the last 2 weeks where eve worked fine , my ISP off course claiming they are not blocking any ports and promise fix in the next coming days for 2 weeks . its very unlikely the problem is in my router , i tried to connect directly to the net without using the router and its the same . edit : i sometimes can get into the game and immediately get : lost connection to server or : connection to server closed . so i guess its other issue .
Harkonnen Mentat	Posted - 2007.12.14 16:30:00 - [119] Yup sounds like a different issue. But if you want to check your router, normally reseting it is the best course. If you don't want to reset it, to get into it (assuming it's your at home router)... -go to start -click run -type cmd -hit enter -type ipconfig -hit enter -look up your ip -go back into windows and open internet explorer (or firefox) -type in your ip changing the last digit to a 1 (eg xxx.xxx.xxx.1) You should see your router login page. If you haven't used it before your login and password are most likely admin. This is where you block and unblock ports and such. But your problem sounds more like an ISP issue to me.

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? ---------------- Salia WinterDrake Independence War 2: Edge of Chaos Fan

Zanpt	Posted - 2007.12.28 04:31:00 - [137] 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. (continued)
Zanpt	Posted - 2007.12.28 04:41:00 - [138] 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.

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.

Jezter Nightfall	Posted - 2008.01.12 13:31:00 - [147] 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.

Padovar Adandur Gallente Calista Industries Brutally Clever Empire	Posted - 2008.01.14 11:16:00 - [150] 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

Talsworthy Gallente 40 Comm	Posted - 2008.01.14 21:17:00 - [153] That is a good post. I'm with Pipex and resubbed with Eve yesterday. I can't get in using port 26000 at all. Port 3724 gets me authenticating and then the process times out with the handshaking error. I managed to finally get in at 11pm last night but now I can't get in. My view is the Eve support team have got to get involved in this - we can tell the ISP there is an issue but Eve has to create some form of test process to allow information to be passed to the isp that will be of use. Alternatively they could setup some ports that actually work. This is the only game that doesn't work for me. I'll perseve till the end of my renewal then i'll hang up my wings. real shame :( Tals Talsworthy No current corp - always looking

Ghost Goat	Posted - 2008.01.16 00:57:00 - [161] starting to get furious about this , two months or so and this problem still did not went away . have talked with my ISP dozens of times , sent log files to ISP and CCP , no one knows whats wrong ,no one shares info , this problem is not limited to tiscali customers ,if you have been following this topic and the like , customers in Greece, Ireland ,some other eastern Europe country , Poland iirc , and lots of others, share the same problem. its not easy to pin point whats wrong, for starters its not persistent , it can work one day and not the other , then work great for a week , and then drop for the next week. like some people mentioned , if you manage to get in but get disconnected from the server every few minutes , turning ping plotter and letting it ping TQ server contentiously in the background seems to help keeping the connection intact . this info SHOULD be looked into by the support team ,it might hint about the source of the problem . also sometime im getting the disconnect message : connection to server closed , which is different from the usual :connection to server lost . so ,different error message , that have to mean something ? what triggers the connection to server closed ? im tired of half assed solutions like http tunnel and playing with ping plotter at the background , and i did not even start to talk about the constant and random BSOD i am getting since trinity, if i do manage to get in ... but thats issue for another topic. so yes CCP , the problem is maybe not big enough to hurt TQ statistics ,but its here and you cant deny it , please take this matter more seriously . or ill cancel my 257 accounts right now !! im serious

S'in	Posted - 2008.01.18 14:52:00 - [167] I dunno if anyone has posted this - I only made it about five pages through this thread, but in the Trinity client since you can no longer specify server and port on the login screen, both are specified in the prefs.ini file. Specifically, if you're like me using tunneling software (I simply use Putty and my home SSH server) I required the following lines: networkAdvanced=1 port=26000 server=localhost Works for me.

Verzerrt	Posted - 2008.02.07 04:36:00 - [178] This is garbage, I live in california and I'm getting this problem as well. I use SBC DSL. All this started happening maybe a week ago, I'm tired of this I can't even play the game I subscribe for because of a ******* port. Seems like I can log into eve, sit idle for a long time but then after a few minutes of doing things in station I click to market and then it stops everything (game is not frozen) meaning I can't go into assets, bio, evemail, anything a few minutes go by and I get disconnected. I've tried the port work around describe here but nothing changes on the splash screen. I'm using Windows XP and SBC DSL.
Verzerrt	Posted - 2008.02.07 04:45:00 - [179] Well one thing works, if you ping something in the background while your playing eve, the connection will stay up, but still has hickups. This is what I do; Open up command prompt type ping www.google.com -t can be any website really. then just leave that running and play eve.

I hope that this problem will be addressed by CCP, because it causes people to actually hate the game. Do something please! EDIT: it seems that I'm hit by the same problem since yesterday. HELP.

Funny thing is though I can't even play the waste of my time and money. I have tried changing the port like this FIX said but like many other users it simply dose not work. Now I live in KS and I have AT&T as an ISP. They are about as shatty as people make CCP out to be. I am not sure if AT&T filters ** out and just blocks the ports needed to play eve. But this problem has only been recent, recent in a sense that I have just bought the game. It's funny how the game work fine when I have trial account, but as soon as I hand over some USD the whole thing has a F**** meltdown. Will be looking for Updates on a Solution.

I attempted changing the port information only to find there is no CCP/EVE/settings in my Application Data folder, and I run XP. Theres also, as mentioned, no way to adjust your connection settings within title screen of the game.

We both just installed the Demo through Steam. I play half a dozen multi-player games and have had my issues over the years connecting or staying connected, but this one takes the cake! I have opened port 26000, still can't stay connected. I tried using 3724 but after editing the prefs.ini file I was not given the option at the logon screen to change port. I am so disappointed at the moment that I can not figure this out and that I am having the same issues as others, yet have a PC that can connect using the same ISP and router as myself.
Mr Li The Graduates	Posted - 2008.03.06 10:01:00 - [193] solution: networkAdvanced doesn't matter anymore. There should be a value called Port in the prefs.ini. Its different than what is said in this thread, but changing the Port value from 26000 to 3724 worked for me. I guess they changed it and didn't inform us in this thread.

From the beginning the were no problems but it started to disconnect me pretty often (sometimes every 5 minutes, sometime it didn¦t disconnect me for a few hours). Than I found this thread and started using 3724 port and everything was going well...Till new patch. With new patch problems returned and to be honest, it is really ****ing me off to be disconnected every few minutes. Probably no one has any solution but, at last, can somebody tell me in what exactly is the problem and when it will be fixed?

Sky'stale Dark Knights of Deneb Against ALL Authorities	Posted - 2008.05.29 22:14:00 - [201] Same problem, new ISP blocks 26000. When changing port number on the pref.ini I get serve status unknown. Any chance to open another port? like the one Wrangler said? Also, SSH its ok, but just ads more lag for me (I am in deep south america). Hope to hear an answer soon.
Aronour	Posted - 2008.06.04 06:15:00 - [202] Still dont find pref.ini ......
Von Bren	Posted - 2008.06.05 16:11:00 - [203] As everyone knows modifying the prefs.ini doesn't work for different ports anymore. To access eve on a different port other than 26000 modify the shortcut to this: "C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE\eve.exe" /port:3724 This will run eve on port 3724 instead. Make sure the above path is correct for you though.
Xer'ik Noxia	Posted - 2008.06.09 07:03:00 - [204] Mine still doesn't work. I'm re-subscribed and I think I'm up to date on the build etc. When I try to log in i get: Connection Error "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 am on the internet... I'm here aren't I? So I tried this port thing. When I change it to networkAdvanced=1 I don't get a new box to put the port into on the connect screen. I re-installed the client ad restarted my computer and all that good stuff, and so far nothing has worked. Any thoughts?
Terell Princeps Corp T e r c i o s	Posted - 2008.06.09 21:19:00 - [205] Sometimes i cant connect, but i normally can really enter at game, my problems is that i just get connection lost only being about 30-40 seconds whithout doing anything ingame. I mean, if im shooting a POS for example, or just typing at corp channel, i keep online, but if i stay afk at a safe or just camping a gate whith my fleet, i just los connection to server only 30-40 second of being doing or typing anything. any idea wheres the problem ??
Dmian Starline Engineering Corporation	Posted - 2008.06.09 21:41:00 - [206] Make sure you: -Have the port configured with the EVE client as stated before. -Have the port open in your firewall, and the EVE client in the exception list. -Have the port open (forwarded) in your router, if you use one to connect to the internet (for example, if you have an ADSL connection.) If you use more than one router (for example one for ADSL and one for WiFi) make sure you have the port opened in all of them. More info about port forwarding here. If everything fails, test to see if your ISP allows the port. Use a web application to test the port, like http://www.canyouseeme.org/ or just click this link. That should discard a lot of suspects... ---- Eve Alpha - The font of Eve - Get it here

Terell Princeps Corp T e r c i o s	Posted - 2008.06.09 22:52:00 - [208] Im using a cable-modem so its server side configuration, i cant open or close any port. Ive been playing eve during last 4 years without any problem, and during last 2 week i lose connection after 1-2 minutes since i dont type anything at channel or fire any gun.
Xer'ik Noxia	Posted - 2008.06.11 00:26:00 - [209] Edited by: Xer''ik Noxia on 11/06/2008 00:33:59 Dmian I tried the http://www.canyouseeme.org/ with both for 26000 it could not complete action because it timed out. For 3724 it said it was closed. Any ideas how to fix that? I'm actually so frustrated I can't express it. I re-installed the new patched version (autopatch didn't work) And it still won't work. Any more tips or ideas?
Terell Princeps Corp T e r c i o s	Posted - 2008.06.11 19:19:00 - [210] Nice, atm i even cant connect to the server.

Dmian Starline Engineering Corporation	Posted - 2008.06.11 20:46:00 - [211] Xer'ik Noxia & Terell: my only advice would be to call your ISP and work with the service rep to open the port. Also: look the router config to see if the router firewall is up. But call your ISP so they can help you open the appropriate port. If you already did everything I mentiones and can't connect it can be something on the ISP. As a last resource, try pinging Tranquility (ping 87.237.38.200) or using "tracert 87.237.38.200" to see if the info reaches Tranquility. Hope there's luck and you can solve the problem. Regrads.

I still cant connect to the server. Btw, one houre before i could connect and play, but now, i just cant connect to the server. its annoying.
Snow Banshee	Posted - 2008.07.07 09:30:00 - [213] here the same problem. Tele2 ( in italy) ISP, the port is not costantly blocked but i keep disconnection every few minutes. I triied some hints wrote here but no one seems still working.
Mauisspawn Amarr	Posted - 2008.07.11 05:18:00 - [214] 3724 does not work at all. And I have tried everything and the status I read is unknown. So what the heck is happening here? I sure do love to cruise wrecklessly through asteroid feilds.
Evek Kane	Posted - 2008.09.10 14:43:00 - [215] Well, I tried port 3724 but I still have the same problem: disconnect after only a few minutes (usually while mining). I'll try port 80 but I doubt it'll work. this doesn't strike me as a port issue.
Abdul Omann	Posted - 2008.10.01 08:54:00 - [216] Please help me someone. It is sayin to me:Unable to connect to 87.237.38.200 on port 26000. after i cenged port it was the same expect port number. i cannot pla
