Strange Problem with Chat Room

[Need_O2]

I cant connect to THW Chat room from Internet Cafe's
It would be very good if you can make it work
(Nevermind if you have a reason to make it not work)

 

[Ralle]

What internet cafe are you visiting from? I need some more details to analyze the problem.

 

[Need_O2]

"What internet cafe are you visiting from?"
Normal one...
I dont know may be its because of some fishy IP thingies
Or there maybe a program that blocks the chat content here

It opens chat, shows no members and says "Timeout, Retrying connection"

 

[Ralle]

Are other people on the cafe also on? Everyone may be sharing the same IP and gets blocked because of the max connection limit of 5.

get a connection sniffer to get the dns server and stuff
it sounds to me like there is a resolution problome

 

[Need_O2]

Only I connect to chat/hive here...
But there are many PC's (running) connected to internet here
Whatever not something too important for me.

I just wanted to report

All internet cafes share a same IP address. You can't visit Hive from a Cafe that has more than 5 PC's

All internet cafes share a same IP address. You can't visit Hive from a Cafe that has more than 5 PC's

Only if at least 5 other people at the same internet cafe are on Hive at the same time. (Or more than 5 connections are open to the Hive from the same internet cafe.)

This specific problem might also be caused by a software firewall or other security software use on the internet cafe computers.

 

[Need_O2]

I can do whatever I want in hive but talking in chat

 

[Ralle]

Very weird. I can't tell what's causing this.

tought so... but I checked for them and windows firewall (anyway maybe a hidden protect0rz0r)

Ralle, the hive is popular, but not that popular

Anyways, I think it's not to do with the internet cafe, I have been experiencing similar "connection spasms" (lol?) in the chat.

hmm

Ralle i think i know the problome but ide need to know how your socket works to truly be able to understand/provide a fix or help you make a fix for it

My testing inicates that anying inside of a DMZ has a coinfilp chance of not being able to lach into the chatroom (the you->(network?)->isp->socket->lobbie<-chat message<-filters<-outher ssls and scrpits conniction) if that happens they eather cant connect or have lost connection errors
