Trying to connect - new GoG linux install

[awfred]

Hi,

Sorry to bother, looking for any advice, I have been away for a few years.

Just downloaded and installed the GoG NWN linux version. (My understanding is this includes/negates ARF2).

Downloaded CEP 2.3, due to the GoG/linux file structure copied the files to multiple places which look about right.

Oh btw, NWN starts like a charm.

Go to lan connect, so far all ip addresses are found, but all give a "connection to server has failed, server is not responding (times out)" this is a quick response and the server name does get populated. Standard network tests work fine on the HG IPs (ping, nmap, etc).

I have tried several CD keys, one new and some old ones I used before on HG. I don't think this is the problem.

I am behind a firewall, but have tried the connection through a VPN, by passing the FW and I get the same result.

I suppose it could be a problem with what I did during install, missing some part or requirement, but I am at a loss, so any pointers would be really appreciated.

Hey there, silly question but have you confirmed you are using the correct IP? They changed a couple of months ago when servers were moved to the cloud.

Server0=158.69.144.21.5120
Server1=158.69.144.21:5121
Server2=158.69.144.21:5129
Server3=158.69.144.21:5131
Server4=158.69.144.21:5132
Server5=158.69.144.21:5133
Server6=158.69.144.21:5134
Server7=158.69.144.21:5135
Server8=158.69.144.21:5141
Server9=158.69.144.21:5142
Server10=158.69.144.21:5143
Server11=158.69.144.21:5144
Server12=158.69.144.21:5145
Server13=158.69.144.21:5151
Server14=158.69.144.21:5152
Server15=158.69.144.21:5153
Server16=158.69.144.21:5154
Server17=158.69.144.21:5155

Yea, I did check on that, NWN recognizes the server, even brings back the name, but then it times out. So when I do a Join Lan Game or even Join Internet Game NWN responds with "Server Found, Attempting to log in." but then "Connection error: Server is not responding (timed out)". This seems to be something with the handshake between my pc and the server. Thats why I opened the VPN to by pass the firewall.

Just don't know enough about how NWN client and Server communicate. Best guess is the NWN linux install has some file in the wrong place and my pc is not able to find it when the server askes for some data.

Did you follow this installation guide for Linux?

Thanks for the help, I did a reinstallation, and it is working I believe, getting the cd key failure now. Multiple un/pw and key sets I will run over to the other forum and request a reset.
