    It seems that I have a same problem to other mac users. But my version is 10.6.8.
    I downloaded PO 2.0.05, and it keep saying "Quitting unexpectedly". Is there any solution?

    I know it works with Wine, but I want to play it without Wine for a reason...

    I have been experiencing the same exact problem too, and I have no idea why I would be banned, as I was only on for a week after waiting out my monthlong ban prior to this.

    Error while connected to server -- Received error n°0: Connection refused
    ^

    I even re-downloaded PO and changed my name but I still get this message when trying to connect to a server.
    Could this be because I'm using the internet through my Uni now? If so, help please.

    EDIT: I love how nobody on this whole forum after 5 days can offer me any help or solution. Maybe this is just a sign for me.

    I've tried just about everything mentioned on Lamp's chart, and I've re-installed 2.0.05 and installed 2.0.06. Logging into servers aside from the usual PO server allows me to view the actual channel... but not to post or battle-- under any alt.

    (10:18:57) Connected to Server!
    (10:22) Disconnected from Server!

    I've restarted and re-installed several times, reset my WiFi router, etc., and I'm pretty positive that I'm not banned as I really only talk in the Mafia Channel... So, I don't know. Kind of inconvenient as it's been two days... No firewall is on, and I'm at home. Blah.

    EDIT:
    Works on laptop, but not on PC.

    EDIT: I was able to connect to Pokemon Reborn but not able to connect to Pokemon Online or Pokemon Mexico so is PO server not working for mac or am I banned for no reason?

    Can't connect to the registry (Connecting to registry...
    Connection is taking longer than expected... You can try a different connection.), can't connect to the PO server through advanced connection (Error while connected to server -- Received error n°7: Connection timed out
    ). Haven't been banned from anything. Went through the flow chart. What's up?

    I had a powerful problem: I made a server, used the port number 5080 and used 184.60.228.111 on Server, and when I click my server, it'll always say "Error while connected to server -- Received error n°0: Connection refused". I look on http://www.portforward.com and the model GT724WG wasn't there. Pokemon Online doesn't show up in Actiontec, either. Why am I confusing? My router model is GT724WG and my IP address is http://184.60.228.111/.

    ^ Thisssssss.
    I know I haven't been banned, for I just joined. I also went through the flow chart. I tried the advanced search given in the flow chart, and the fire wall on PO is off. I've also changed my name many, many times. It seems now that my problem varies from "Disconnected from the registry: Connection refused" and "connection is taking longer than expected..."

    I don't know if it's because my CP may be crappy or what, but yeah, I need help.

    For me:
    (I am running OSX Lion 10.7.5)
    I can launch PO
    I cannot see the server registry
    The only firewall I have running is the default one for my OS, and I've manually set it to allow incoming connections to PO
    I am not at uni campus
    Advanced connection gives me: Error while connected to server -- Received error n°5: Connection timed out
    Again, I'm not at a uni campus. (Even if I was, last time I was there I was able to connect) I was able to connect using the network I'm using now last time I played (probably 7-8 weeks ago) and I haven't changed any router or connection settings in that time. I also cannot connect while tethering a connection from my phone.

    When I open PO instead of a server list I just get: "Connecting to registry...
    Connection is taking longer than expected... You can try a different connection."

    This is really frustrating and weird. I've re-downloaded and installed PO 3 times now.
    While I really doubt the issue is with my netz, the only thing I can think of trying next is changing my ports, but I'm not that tech savvy.

    Am I missing something? Any way you could assist? Because this is driving me nuts.

    Maybe I should also add that I haven't played in a while, so when I tried again I was on an outdated version. I thought that was the reason for my inability to connect, but after updating I am getting the same error.

    Okay i have seen people with similar prolems as mine but no answer. Team Builder works fine, but when i "Go Online" it trys to Connect then says to change ports. So i just tried advanced connection to see what that was. i tried "Pokémon Online - 188.165.244.152:5080" and that doesnt work. i tried allowing the 5080 port by making it a "rule" i tried shutting down my firewall nothing works. and then when i did the advanced connection i just let it be and then it said "error n 5." So if someone could please try to help me that would be awesome!

    I keep getting the following error when attempting to use the PO server:

    "Error while connected to server -- Received error n°7: Host unreachable"

    There is no-one else visible, too, despite the hundreds the registry claims.

    According to the flowchart I'm banned, but that's clearly impossible since I've never used PO before.

    Other servers seem fine.

    Anyone have an idea what I've done wrong?

    So I try to log into PO today and for some reason it still let's me sign in, but it is super slow and the chat doesn't load for like 5 minutes at least. Also, I don't understand why it wouldn't be working now because for the past week and my connection has been perfect. Nothing other than PO has been acting up lately so I was wondering if I could get some help. I've also restarted my pc and re installed PO and still the same problems.

    Is it a Pokémon Online v1 server? v2 is incompatible with v1, therefore a different registry and you won't be able to connect to that server. If they have a v2 server, then you can connect to that.

    I'm not sure it was called the valley so what would it be in the new server types?

    Actually, the valley is a version 1 server, thus you cannot go onto it because you're on version 2. So to go on it you must go to version 1. But they encourage people to come to version2.

    Well, what do you use? Window, Mac, Linux? Also, try re-downloading it. Also, if its on v1 must download server.exe separate.

    Hello! I am experiencing problems with Pokemon Online. I recently uninstalled the version I had and installed the latest version. Whenever I click "Go Online" It says "Connected to Registry" However I could not see any servers. I tried using pokemon - online.eu:8080 But it just said No2 Error and then later disconnected. I can use other computers on the same network though.

    I also disabled my firewall and re-installed. I am at home too.

    Thank you.

    Edit: Same problem as person below me. Also I can never connect, not any time.

    Sup. I have a problem here:
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG][/HIDE]

    So yea.. I can't see any server on the server list. I tried changing my name a couple of times. I re installed PO and allowed it to pass through my firewall but still nothing changes.
    (weird stuff: It only happens during the night when its about 6:00 PM - 12:00 PM.)

    I used the picture guide up top, removed any/all filters and firewalls (which never gave me trouble before) and I still can't connect or see the registry. I redownloaded the game twice too. It seems that I have the same problem with connecting to the registry as Dzi, Espevoir, and Sleepless. Help would be appreciated. I don't know what to do. :(

    EDIT: Seriously been almost 2 weeks after post and zero help. There are plenty of people with the same issue needing to be resolved. I've had to resort to using Pokemon Showdown (aka the competition). What gives?

    You have to extract the files from the ZIP for the application to work correctly.

    Does connecting directly to the server work? Try server.pokemon-online.eu:5080 in advanced connect.

    I did try that but it either gives me this message "Disconnected from the registry: Connection timed out
    You can try a different connection by changing ports." or sends me to a blank page where "Player; Battles" and the irc chat totally blank. I redownloaded the latest version I don't know how many times and nothing seems to work in terms of settings/firewall mumbo jumbo.

    Sorry if I sound frustrated, it just sucks because I haven't been able to play on PO for 2 months now. Plus, I've had to slowly transfer all my teams to Showdown to actually play. Sad times. :C I really have no idea how this happened so suddenly.

    Hi guys, hope someone can help me. This is my poblem:
    I cant find any server, i build my team and have a trainer name avaible, but when i click "Go online" and try find a server this mensage appears:
    "Connecting to registry...
    Connection is taking longer than expected... You can try a different connection"
    Then i read something about firewalls, so i turn off my windows firewall and still find anything.

    Have you downloaded the newest version?:2.0.1
    Also, have you tried to redownload it? Does any error occur in the download or when you go to pick a server besides the freeze/crash?

    Server may be full, or your internet connection could be the problem.

    Okay, I've come back to pokemon online for the first time in a few months, decide to update my version to the newest. Download the files needed, extract and then when I click on start client nothing happens. No error message, just literally nothing happens. I've tried re- downloading everything, really not sure what to do now. Running Linux Mint as up to date as I can get it, any advice?

    I was previously running a slightly older version (2.0.02 I believe?) which worked almost fine the past couple days.

    Have you tried to redownload the file? Or even download the .zip if there is one for Linux? As for the overall issue, many people have been having this same exact issue, and it is being resolved so no need to repost it really, but just wait for the next update, hopefully.
