#50300, "Can not connect. "
Edited on Sun 30-Jun-13 02:25 PM

          

Hey

I just moved to a different country. Tried to Connect as I need my fix of cf but alas no Luck. Its probably the router that is wonky since I can not Connect on the playlink on either this computer or another via the playlink. Get Security error. Does this for you computer savvy folks sound like a port problem or something else?

If I can not get it fixed, is there anyway to get a character freezed, will move back in a month or so.

Cheers

Edit I should add I've tried for a week or so to Connect, so not related to the latest problems With connecting.

This might be a firewall/port-blocking issue like you said. I can normally connect with the link, but if I block port 4449 on my router, I get a security error.

Supposedly the website hasn't quite caught up with the server move, so you have to directly use the IP for the play link to actually try to connect you to the updated address.

It tries to Connect and I get a Security error. With zmud it just does not Connect at all. Tries for a little bit then countdown to NeXT attempt.

I can imagine a few things:

With zmud changing the connection IP can be tricky with the newer versions. Make sure the address is actually saving: you might be literally connecting to the old address thinking you are connecting to the new address.
