RE: Failed to Connect - Have Tried A lot
not sure how much you want to try this...
are u using a router???a router-switch???or a switch???you said before that u configured a DMZ which most likely means you installed a piece of hardware between your ISP's connection and your computer.??then i am guessing your network looks like:
ISP--Connection from ISP--Your router/switch--Computer
Connection from ISP
- cable modem or DSL filter plug thingy
- hardware from ISP, usually has only one outgoing port
Your router/switch
- usually has more than 1 outgoing port
- has a ton of config settings
To figure out where the problem lies, u can try the following.
1. Reformat Windows
2. If Comodo is installed automatically, uninstall it or turn it off completely
3. Install Hero
4. Connect directly to your ISP, no router/switch in the middle
5. Log on to hero
If you are able to login to hero, the problem lies with comodo or your router/switch.??If you "fail to connect", the problem is with hero or your ISP (call techs like cosmopolite did).??lots of steps but u'll narrow the problem down.
easiest method:
1. borrow a friend's laptop.
2. install hero
3. try from your place
4. try from your friend's place
if your friend isn't using the same setup and isp as u and you connect, then u ruled out hero server as being the problem.??if u fail to connect, you can't rule out anything though.??
pinging doesn't always work. lots of routers somewhere along the chain block it for security reasons.

RE: Failed to Connect - Have Tried A lot
Hey n3xus,
Thanks for the ideas.
This is my usual setup:
My computer > LAN Cable > Router > Wireless Internet ISP
I have just reformatted Windows to rule out any Windows errors. It's a fresh install, with little applications installed right now. Comodo is installed, but it is correctly configured (HeRO.exe is a Trusted Application, ports 5121, 6121 and 6900 are all open).
I have tried connecting normally through the Router, but it didn't work. I also tried connecting with the Modem directly hooked up to my PC, and that didn't work either. I've got a feeling it's some sort of Hardware Firewall which is blocking me. I'm just not sure where. I can't seem to log into the Modem Interface (I've been told it doesn't have one) and the only mention of a Modem in the Router is the SPI Firewall, which has been recommended to NOT disable. The Router has a tonne of ports open, including the same as Comodo above.
I will be going over to my parent's place in a couple of days to test out there. I have all my old network gear, and a stable non-wireless Internet Connection there, so I'll give that a go.
For the record, I have tested other RO servers to make sure it wasn't just HeRO and I have been unsuccessful to log into any of them. The only time I could log into ANY server was using that HTTP-Tunnel software, which I really don't want to use/pay for.
I'll let you guys now if I find anything out. Thanks for all the help!
