Hi

I got a 2gig standard telkom ADSL package and can't seem to connect to any of their online game servers on games.saix.net. Are the 2gb standard packages prevented from doing this? :confused:
 
Nope - never heard of this before.

Have you opened the ports for the games on your router and is this the first time you've attempted to get onto the SGS servers?
 
Ports are definetly open and it is the first time. I can't seem to ping the actual server IPs themselves and tracerts go nowhere. :confused:
 
Nope still no joy, if I ping games.saix.net I get

Code:
c:\ping games.saix.net

Pinging games.saix.net [196.4.79.14] with 32 bytes of data:

No I get this using my Telkom Account and a Data Pro account. Anybody got any explanations for this?
 
Hey,

I had the same problem while using Iburst. It would seem that Dominic is right. It looks like sgs drops ping/tracert packets. I could not ping/tracert the sgs servers but when I ran BF2 I could see the server in the server list. Have you tried looking for the servers this way?
 
try ping myadsl.co.za see what happens


also you prolly have an orignal bf 2 game

but without a valid cd key you wont be able to connect
 
You're most probably banned for <insert any reason possible here>.
 
Yeah, cos this is the first time he's tried to play online; so he MUST be banned.... [/sarcasm]

You don't maybe have a firewall on your pc that's blocking the necessary ports? Which game are you trying to play?

LOL,

Yeah sounds like a hardware firewall issue... try connecting to random US servers and see if you get the same issue.

um..... i have no problem connect to saix server when i add the server to my favorites.... But my problem is like, for instance in CSS when i go to internet it doesnt detect any local game servers (SAIX or GameZone), but when i type the server ip into my favorites, it respondes and i can connect and play....But it is very irritating because in css my favotites erases itself everytime i launch the game... and it not just CSS, its BF2 and Quake4 that also does that.... Any Suggestions?
