Problem pinging the server

[Dustin Keys]

For the past few days I have been not able to ping the server. I haven't changed anything on my side, that I know of... Any ideas?

Yes, I have tried the restart the router and all that jazz.

You've probably tried this already, but Re-install GTA:SA.

[Dustin Keys]

I've tried that.

[Alexei]

Well I would normally say try reinstalling everything, but it seems like you've tried that.
If you haven't already, try resetting your router, turn your computer off for a few minutes, and try again.

If that doesn't work, I came across this old thread where another person had a similar situation. There was no solution found and the thread was closed since nobody could find an answer, but the guy was told to PM Cody, maybe try PM'ing him? - http://www.gta-sarp.com/forums/showthread.php?53166-Can-t-ping-the-server

I have done all of that... I messaged Enrique to see if he remembers how he got it fixed.

Have you tried downloading a different internet browser?

Does other servers work? If not, try port forwarding.

[Dustin Keys]

Other servers work.

[Enrique McHarley]

Other servers work.

I've had the exact problem but, I wasn't able to visit the forums though. It's probably your IP which is getting blocked somehow. Try using a VPN and see if it makes any different.

Maybe you got something like this: http://www.gta-sarp.com/forums/showthread.php?83810-%28Need-more-information%29-Game-Jake_Ruthless-s-Ban-Appeal-Banned-by-RangeBan

I didn't read the replies because I unfortunately have no time but readd the server into the server list, it worked for me.

I've tried that as well.

I might be wrong here but I believe it's something the side of FDC (our host), I suggest finding a VPN until we can get this resolved, there's some free and cheap ones out there, just use Google you'll find them.

Try connecting with this IP
50.7.65.90:4500

Try restarting your wooden PC or reninstall SAMP
I remember i had the same problem but i never had some shit bugging or smth.
Maybe run as an administrator ?

If you would read the rest of the posts you could have seen that I have tried all of that. It has nothing to do with my PC.

[Mr.Silver]

So, but so fucking easy.
You gotta find a priate download of ''hide my IP'', but one that actually hides it, and you will be able to log in.

I've temporarily fixed the problem by using a private VPN to join the server. I'd still like to know if there is a way to fix this permanently.

Only if the host resolves this blocking IPs issue.

[Denis Waitley]

Maybe your far from the host or someone is using your net and doing such things that makes you lag or something.

Try disabling your firewall/internet security. The :4500 port might be blocked, thus not allowing you to ping the server.

Hes firewalled by the server, pretty much beyond a doubt. This can't really be fixed by any helpers or even most of the administrators really, only those who can access the server itself.

[Watson]

Is it working now? For me, my ISP, just started to work again since yesterday.
