Sorry, I've run out of potentially helpful things to say. Sure you had the XP firewall disabled and an exception defined on the AOL firewall?

Make sure your /config/master.srv file isn't messed up. It should look like:

Code: Select all

ServerBegin
connection  master1.armagetronad.net
port        4533
method      0
key         0  
tna         0
name        Master Server 1
ServerEnd

ServerBegin
connection  master2.armagetronad.net
port        4533
method      0
key         0  
tna         0
name        Master Server 2
ServerEnd

ServerBegin
connection  master3.armagetronad.net
port        4533
method      0
key         0  
tna         0
name        Master Server 3
ServerEnd

ServerBegin
connection  master4.armagetronad.net
port        4533
method      0
key         0  
tna         0
name        Master Server 4
ServerEnd

If it looks like the above and still doesn't work, maybe try putting in the direct links to the servers (master.x.armagetronad.net is an indirect link).

Change it to:

Code: Select all

ServerBegin
connection  armagetron.kicks-ass.net
port        4533
method      0
key         0  
tna         0
name        Master Server 1
ServerEnd

ServerBegin
connection  wiki.davefancella.com
port        4533
method      0
key         0  
tna         0
name        Master Server 2
ServerEnd

ServerBegin
connection  wrtlprnft.ath.cx
port        4533
method      0
key         0  
tna         0
name        Master Server 3
ServerEnd

ServerBegin
connection  armagetron.de
port        4533
method      0
key         0  
tna         0
name        Master Server 4
ServerEnd

If this doesn't work, try deleting your /var/user.cfg file.

If this doesn't work, go hide in the corner and cry

.

P.S. I haven't read any of the posts in this topic, so if the above suggestions were already mentioned, sorry

You could also try adding master5.armagetronad.net

durka it looks like that ServerBegin
connection master1.armagetronad.net
port 4533
method 0
key 0
tna 0
name Master Server 1
ServerEnd

ServerBegin
connection master2.armagetronad.net
port 4533
method 0
key 0
tna 0
name Master Server 2
ServerEnd

ServerBegin
connection master3.armagetronad.net
port 4533
method 0
key 0
tna 0
name Master Server 3
ServerEnd

ServerBegin
connection master4.armagetronad.net
port 4533
method 0
key 0
tna 0
name Master Server 4
ServerEnd

Tank how do i add Master5?

DDMJ · Post by **DDMJ** » Sat Feb 24, 2007 9:47 pm

There is no Master 5 (I think).

I think Tank set one up, but I don't know how well it is filled with server info. Anyway, that replacement suggestion by DDMJ is good, I'd give it a try. This would eliminate the possibility that the DNS resolution of masterX.armagetronad.net is not working for you.

1. Open the file you already copied and pasted here, in notepad
2. Make it look like Durka's post

Jonathan · Post by **Jonathan** » Sun Feb 25, 2007 3:08 am

Save it and see if Arma can find a master?

^}LC}<Fear · Post by **^}LC}<Fear** » Sun Feb 25, 2007 3:19 am

^}LC}<Fear · Post by **^}LC}<Fear** » Sun Feb 25, 2007 4:35 am

dang man i love tron i cant give it up!

DDMJ · Post by **DDMJ** » Sun Feb 25, 2007 4:39 am

Try pinging the master servers (not through Armagetron).

Website · Post by **Z-Man** » Sun Feb 25, 2007 9:53 am

Some of them are set up to not respond to pings. Open up the command console of Windows (AKA Dos Window, it hides in Start->System IIRC) and type into it

Code: Select all

ping master3.armagetronad.net

and tell us what it prints.

There are two files in that window... "master" and "master.srv." Of the two it's the master.srv file you want to be editing. Looks like you're editing the plain master one for some reason.
