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.
