Should I chock it up and start over?

:pray: I hope this one takes Tonar mate. Oops. I guess it didn't work. Calling the local Dogz PC Doctor. Tonar needs a lobotomy. I hope you get your answer soon buddy.

This one is driving me nuts (in a way that I can cope with, don't fret it) and I'm determined to get to the bottom of the problem. There must be a reason for it and I'll bet it's something quite obvious that we can't see right now. I'm gonna sleep on it - and interrogate you tomorrow Tonar.

Another tid bit of info,

I am also not able to host anymore. go figure

[gec]

hmm .... i'll put my money on the firewall or router.

[DD_Brando]

Could you copy & paste here the [NET] section of your conf.ini file please?

I agree with gec re. the hosting problem.

[Tonar]

Here is the conf info you asked for.

Thanks.

I don't suggest this is a fix, but could you add these three lines in this section

checkServerTimeSpeed=1

checkClientTimeSpeed=0

checkRuntime=0

[Tonar]

Gents I appreciate all that has been done for me. I am really getting down on the whole issue. I might have to do what other Dog have done in the past.. Walk away for a while

I will just have to accept for the moment that I will not be able to attend any modded events. Maybe in the future I will find the time to sit down with one of you guys and figure it out, but for now I am going to say screw it and leave it at that. Summer is coming and fishing will pick up. My time is becoming in high demand and I have been neglecting everything.

I think Rog is going to have to pay a "house call" to your computer Tonar san.

Absolutely.

What time is convenient for you Tonar?

[Tonar]

Ok guys,I am usually around from work @ 10pm GMT (aka 3pm Mountain) That is about your bed time on the other side of the pond. If you want to make a date, I can be around that time any day this week except today, I have an interview the US department of Homeland Security

[B16Enk]

OK Tomorrow night?

[Tonar]

Thank you Thank you Thank you Roger.

All is well and good, I am glad it was something relatively simple and didn't keep to up too late.

Again Thank You.. You are one of the Dogz greatest assets

[B16Enk]

Welcome M8.

Pleased to see you are 'Airworthy' again

[gec]

can the rest of us know what was the problem? maybe we can learn something.

[Tonar]

Sorry Gec,

It was the Norton firewall not letting the modded IL2.exe's through. It was only letting the no mod ones through. So Rog poked around and found where to tell it to let all IL2.exe versions through. Viola!! all is well.

[B16Enk]

Other Firewalls differ in two respects:

1. When you turn them off they are OFF (Norton has a habit of just saying it is off...)

2. You can tell them that an application changes frequently, so it doesn't 'fingerprint' the executable and compare the fingerprint.

Norton in Tonar's case correctly identified that the fingerprint had changed, sadly it wasn't user friendly enough to advise that IL2fb.exe had changed (which it would due to mod switching) and was therefore barred.

I added in the 4.09 version of IL2fb.exe and that seems to have been enough to persuade Norton that all copies of that file are safe...

[gec]

yep, they (firewalls) can be like that sometimes. sneaky bastards
