BlackKnight Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Dunno if this helps, but are these the same messages you get? Invalid password and all, I mean.
ken_cinder Posted August 5, 2008 Author Posted August 5, 2008 Woah! No, those are from the Strike Team server, officially backed by EA and where you now go for WOLv2 games.The changes in my HOSTS file have not been made to yours, or taken effect. You aren't even connecting to my server.
BlackKnight Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Well I just checked the HOSTS file I downloaded here against my original (which I backed up). I'm definitely using yours. \\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\HOSTS contains #Westwood Online PvPGN addresses pvpgn.game-server.cc irc.westwood.compvpgn.game-server.cc gameres.westwood.compvpgn.game-server.cc servserv.westwood.compvpgn.game-server.cc apireg.westwood.com
ken_cinder Posted August 5, 2008 Author Posted August 5, 2008 Have you done a DNS flush, or rebooted since altering it though? If you have done neither, there is a possibility that it hasn't taken effect.
BlackKnight Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 I rebooted and flushed DNS. No dice. So I uninstalled Westwood Online Components, deleted the WOL config ini from the RA2 folder, reinstalled, recopied the HOSTS file. Still no luck- same result. I always end up at the Strike Team server.
ken_cinder Posted August 5, 2008 Author Posted August 5, 2008 Sounds like you may need to follow the advice in the last couple posts here. - http://www.howtofixcomputers.com/forums/wi...file-61464.html Won't load for me now, so if you need to, use the google cached page. - http://72.14.205.104/search?q=cache:UxYmt7...cd=19&gl=ca
BlackKnight Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 They suggest I disable the DNS Client service. So I did. Service isn't running but RA2 still connects to the same place.
ken_cinder Posted August 5, 2008 Author Posted August 5, 2008 We got it working, no hostname to hostname translation for those with no direct connection to the internet (Router etc). BK whupped my @$$ in RA2.
Lucandrake Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 Erwin the server went down a few months ago, I doubt it'll reconnect if you try to log in now, and even if you did log in no one would be on.
