RE: Failed to Connect - Have Tried A lot
Computer was built by me, using custom parts. It's more than powerful enough to handle RO xD
OS is Windows XP Service Pack 2, reinstalled last night on a clean HDD.
Could it be a service that isn't running, or something else like that?

RE: Failed to Connect - Have Tried A lot
Yeah, I wish Windows had a bit more configurability (is that even a word?).
I have disabled it, as Comodo is my primary Firewall (and Windows does detect this).
I have found a couple of programs which I'll be testing tonight. Both do the same thing, though apparently 1 is more powerful than the other.
PingFu Iris - Tunneling software for games and applications. Supposed to work with games like WoW and several other MMOs. If this doesn't work, the company is recommending their other software...
Auto Tunnel GG - Supposed to be the more 'powerful' version. It says it supports Ragnarok on their page, so I'll be giving this a shot if the above doesn't work.
PingFu Iris costs $5 a month, and Auto Tunnel GG is $15 a year. I only need to get it working for about a month before I move back home and have access to my Billion Router (which is a BILLION times better than the Netgear I have right now).
I'll let you know how I go!

RE: Failed to Connect - Have Tried A lot
Ok, so those programs both failed. *sigh*
I asked a friend of mine, and he got me to do a few tests.
I did a Trace Route on the server's address (pandora.bounceme.net, 24.201.55.164). Both times, the Trace Route request timed out at 24.200.225.206. According to the Whois/IP info we found, it stopped at the same area as the server (physically, Montreal Canada).
My mate reckons there might be an IP-range block on the server or whoever is hosting the server. I'm going over to a couple of different places tomorrow to check the client and whether it works on other people's internets/computers.
I've also run the client from my roommate's PC on the same Network, and he is also not able to connect.
Does this offer any more insight to the problem?

RE: Failed to Connect - Have Tried A lot
Thanks for your help Pandora,
I'll see what happens when I bring the client to someone else's place - while I know it'll probably work, I might find something over there that I might've missed on my end.
Unfortunately I can't really move this computer. Other than the fact it's very inconvenient, it's also extremely heavy. The case alone (empty) weighs about 18kg, so with the 6 other hard drives + more inside, it's quite a load. xD
[Edit] So naturally, I bring the HeRO client to work and test it here. Of course, it works. Which, like you said, pretty much means nothing right now. It's still either my home connection, network or PC. >.<
