    Good graph. Simple yet detailed. Just the errors down bottom mean you might need to quickly re-do.

    (22:06:57) +Ozma: The very bottom are both "Yes"
    (22:07:22) +Ozma: With the firewall parts.

    This is amazing Lamp.

    Everyone is benefitted as they can just look at the graph when there are problems.

    A bit confused about the Firewall area, but what Ozma said makes it clear.

    I already updated the firewall area a bit, it had a mistake I fixed. I hope this will help people.

    is the server offline or just crazy busy? x_x i've been trying to connect for a few hrs now and every time i do it says connected to server then a few minutes later it goes and says you have been disconnected before it even reaches the channels after sitting on the blank screen that says nothing other than connected to server

    I can't connect to the registry, I get this:
    Disconnected from the registry: The remote host closed the connection

    I can connect to PO server (other servers work too). Disabling firewall didn't work. Got the problems yesterday night. Worked before that day.
    Server.exe does not display registry connection messages (even if it's Public).

    Reinstalling/running diff client didn't work either and i'm not on a public location.

    I could try using other internet but they are very slow >.>

    Registry works fine here. Maybe you got regautobanned?

    It does that if you try to cheat on player amount or join flood it.

    Yeah someone gave me the idea of testing that(tried to compile own server but the darn program barely worked, in fact, I can't run it :|). Should I make a post in the Committee?

    This graph is so good. I can suggest the PO Menu, or maybe the PO Server list windows can have a link what says sort of this:

    In this way i'm sure lot of problems can be solved easily. (maybe for the next PO version...)

    Lamperi, I got a very odd problem:

    It prompted me for a password, and until then, nothing worked! >:I

    There, Lamperi. :)

    By the way, when I connect to the Internet via a broadband stick, I can access to PO. By the time I connect to the Internet via our Wifi, PO worked in a fashion shown in the picture above. =/

    It may be that your wifi connection doesn't allow outgoing port 5080. Did 8080 work with wifi?

    I need to modify the chart to suggest using 8080 any way.

    Hi everyone!
    Sorry to be a pain, however I, too, have this problem. Yet, it only occurs the majority of the time (i.e. once in a long while, I can get on).

    I've tried inputting server.pokemon-online.eu:8080 into Advanced Connections, and this does not work.
    I am not on a University/School System, nor do I have a Firewall Active at this moment.

    Furthermore, my main name Night22Wing seems to permanently be on the Server, as when I attempt to Log On with another name successfully, I can see myself, the Night22Wing version, already online, with the same Team etc as I usually have.

    The name Night22Wing is registered, so may it just be something to do with my computer, but I can access other servers normally.

    I have a CPU problem. When I open PO, everything works fine until I click Go Online, then it starts freezing up. After a while a message shows up that my computer is using a lot of CPU to get PO working. So what I want to know is if there's any way I can battle on PO without using so much CPU and causing it to freeze.

    Thanks,
    GSP

    Normally PO should not do that. What operating system are you running on and where did you download your PO ?

    Hey Lamperi was hoping you could help me out with this issue I got, my PO works fine when I just am in team builder and stuff like that but when I try to go online I get the list of all the servers but when i try to connect to any of the servers my PO just freezes and I have to force quit the program. I have tried connecting to almost every server and the same thing happens. Im allowing the proper ports and stuff and was able to play on both PO and Smog servers about 2 weeks ago but not anymore. Any advice would be great.


    *edit* I just tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling and no change

    Hi Jatt0506,

    Very weird it suddenly does that. Either the registry settings of Pokemon Online have become corrupted or something outside PO cauess this. I would recommend to system restore before that point if possible to see if it fixes that. Both of the things I mentioned would be fixed by system restore.

    Before I tried system restore Lamperi I tried some other things, i Donwloaded the server file and made my own server and I was able to log into it without any fault and even got a couple friends to join and test it out and it worked but I'm still unable to log onto other servers that do not belong to me. I also downloaded PO on another computer and tried to connect to a server and the same thing happened to that computer as well.. So i feel like it is my internet, currently I am forwarding both 5080 and 8080 ports, when i try to forward 5081 i lose server list for some reason.. Any idea what else I could change?



    *Edit* So i called my ISP and they somehow blocked port 5080 even though i was allowing it on my router, so i got that cleared up and now everything works.. Thank you for all the suggestion Lamperi!!

    Ok so.... registry uses 5081, so you have definitely messed up something with your network config. I suggest you to use non-standard ports if you decide to host a server since you need 5080 to access most PO servers.

    Try enabling PO through your firewall. Also did you check the troubleshooting chart?

    I've just recently downloaded PO yesterday. As soon as I click on the "Go Online" button, in the server description box it says "Disconnected from the registry: Connection refused" I'm using the trainer name "Kanari~" but it doesn't prompt for a password or anything.

    It doesn't list any servers, either. Is there anything I'm doing wrong?

    Check that your firewall allows PO through.

    I downloaded PO today and got onto the PO server just fine, but when I loaded a team and click Find Battle, nothing happens. I also can't say anything in the chat or view other people's battles, or register a password. :/

    I looked at the graph but It doesn't help me. I am trying to open 1.0.60 on my mac. Every time I open it, it says the applications has quit unexpectedly. What do I do?

    Ditto. I know I posted on another thread but this is probably where it belongs. I'm running Leopard. Not Snow Leopard, just Leopard. I really need to upgrade, but I really don't need to.

    For now, Leopard users can run via Wine. I look into creating a Leopard compactible binary.
     
  39. I cant connect to (https)://github.com/lamperi/pokemon-online/downloads (not want to make it a link) for downloading 1.0.60 from my Mac i tried safari and firefox neither worked. However, i can accecss other sites and can accecss to that site from my ipad. What should i do?

    Download page has a direct link, which is here: https://github.com/downloads/lamperi/pokemon-online/Pokemon-Online-1.0.60.dmg

    Does that work?
