Cultivator 0 Posted March 27, 2010 Perhabs the Windows firewall is the problem... didn´t you get a message in windows after starting ArmA2 the first time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spike 21 0 Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) Yes but I allowed it,its something in the game..I get this when I host "No challenge value received from the master server" Edited March 27, 2010 by Spike 21 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cultivator 0 Posted March 27, 2010 Hmmm did you wrote something in the filter? Try to find a server by uing the IP adress of it. If you don´t find it your ArmA can´t get an connection to the GamespyMasterserver.... But i don´t know why.... if its not your wirewall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spike 21 0 Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) Nothing is in the filter,and I don't know the Gamespy Masterserver IP.O.K. I found the kelly's heroes sever and was able to connect to them by IP,but no servers in server list still? Edited March 27, 2010 by Spike 21 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bulldogs 10 Posted March 27, 2010 Check your router and Windows Firewall to make sure they are not blocking incoming ICMP's, also make sure the correct port numbers are forwarded on your routers firewall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spike 21 0 Posted March 28, 2010 I'm not on a router.And as stated above it's not the win7 firewall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bulldogs 10 Posted March 28, 2010 Putting Arma 2 in the exception list of the firewall wouldn't stop the firewall from blocking incoming ICMP (I believe windows 7 firewall does it by default) You can disable windows firewall temporarily to test if that's the problem, alternatively if you want to disable Windows ICMP blocking then : Open up an administrator mode command prompt by right-clicking and choosing Run as Administrator, or type cmd into the start menu search box and then use Ctrl+Shift+Esc. Then type "netsh firewall set icmpsetting 8 enable" without quotation marks If you want to disable it, just type "netsh firewall set icmpsetting 8 disable" Just be cautious. The reason it blocks ICMP's (pings) by default is because people can use it to cause a Denial of Service attack to block your computer from the internet (of course restarting your computer or modem resets it back to normal so not a major problem) Of course disabling the firewall to test first is the best option before doing anything rash. Out of curiousity, what modem model are you using? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
