Hi

I've spent a few days trying to play WWP online and failed. I've fully patched the game, and it plays offline fine. In game after double clicking the wormnet2 yorkshire link and typing a username/password I get a short piece of audio/music but the screen doesnt change and no servers/games etc appear.

I can web to wormnet2.team17.com and get 'wormNET2' as a result.

When I try telnet wormnet2.team17.com 6677 I get:

NOTICE AUTH :*** Looking up your hostname...
NOTICE AUTH :*** Couldn't look up your hostname
PING :wormnet2.team17.com
ERROR :Closing Link: [unknown@255.255.255.255] (Ping timeout: 60 seconds)


I've forwarded ports to my internal IP but don't know what else to try. I have restarted numerous times and reinstalled the game.

I checked high and low on the forums and dont think im missing anything.

I can get on W:A without problem.

FYI: I'm running Vista 32bit and behind an Orange livebox.

I have almost same problem, but after logging, there is a sound (same than WA) and there doesnt appear anything (such as channels or something).


Your symtoms point towards authentication failure. Have you made sure the time and date are correct, as well as your Time Zone?

I've tried it, and no work either.
I hope you can help me since last post made about it had no response.
