Hi EC

I wrote about this last week, that the games stopped working on ecwebv4 suddenly. I thought it may have been a mod I did, but didn't know what. Since I didn't hear back from you, I decided To rename the web directory and put a fresh copy of ecweb in to see if it was something I might have done. Still not able to play the games with the new fresh copy without mods. I have no idea why it would have been working great, then stopped... Any Ideas.

Thanks, as always

was your browser updated? what about your flash if flash is what is being used to access the telnet side? perhaps your live antivirus is getting in the way? there's a lot of things outside of the BBS that could cause problems...

Nothing has changed, and don't use flash, I use htmlterm. I'll check the virus protection, but nothing has updated since it quit working. I really hoping it's something simple that ec already knows about... Thanks

Does the ecWeb door game interface use RLogin? Have you tested the RLogin functionality of your board? Are you seeing any activity in the Terminal Server (e.g. log output) when you attempt to play a game from ecWeb?

Yes, Rlogon is used, and I uploaded the terminal server logs for one game to a message I sent ec last week here. I don't see any errors in the log that I recognize as errors. I know the port is open in my router port forwarding, but I havn't actually tested the actual port that is used, so I'll do that now. It's a different port than the rlogin that I am using in syncterm that I'm logged in with now. It was working great, and I've done nothing that I am aware of in the way of changes to the system or updates.

UPDATE: Apparently something changed. For grins and giggles, I tried using another computer with firefox, and everything works great. The problem occurs when I use the web browser on the bbs server itself, which is Sea Monkey. I just tried IE on the web server, and it worked, so apparently, Sea Monkey is blocking something, and I will have to figure out what. Sorry for the false alarm, I just never figured a browser that was working, and was never updated would suddenly stop performing a single task. Thanks Rob, at least you got me thinking :)

it might be the fact that you are trying to connect to it "from the BBS computer" I cannot connect to my hostname from my bbs computer because my router, however I can connect to my internal IP, and some of the items on ecweb does call services by hostname. I even have my hostname setup on this linux machine and can still only connect to my internal ip address.. anyone outside my router has no issues.

I could accept that if it never worked, but it worked great for over a month, and it still works great with Internet Explorer on the bbs machine, besides I've never had issues connecting to my bbs on the bbs server. I know a lot of folks have, but I've never had that issue with the netgear router I'm using. NO, something changed with sea monkey, but I don't know what. Maybe a windows update changed sea monkey internally. I don't like internet explorer, so I guess I'll try firefox or chrome on the bbs server and see how they do. Sea monkey was great, as it didn't use a lot a resources and it was fast, and it had a built in email editor. Thanks for the reply my friend.
