I don't know if this has already been brought up but I though I should mention it since quite a few people have been having this problem. When you try to connect through WOL it goes to "negotiating firewall" and stays there and won't connect. If you click cancel and reconnect it will work the second time except it seems to lock up for a second. Anyone else having similar problems when using WOL? I know of about 5 people right now who have updated and asked if XWIS is down because they didn't know to cancel it and try agian. After I told them to do that they were able to get on. Just though I'd let you guys know and see if anyone knows a fix or a way around this or if it will be addressed at some point. Thanks!!

That's caused by the WOL/XWIS mangler servers being down, and does not relate to TT. I heard they are back up since today though. We are working with XWIS to get a clone of the mangler servers up in case it happens again (EA still hosts these servers, rather than XWIS).

I can't connect to XWIS at all anymore while using Scripts 4.0.

It tells me to go to xwis.net/cp and create an account

...

Scripts 3.4.4 works fine however.

That might happen because it fails to read your woldata.dat file. Can you try to reset your serial using the renegade serial changer and then reinstalling TT?

Nope, still nothing. The serial is there, but somehow isn't being read when scripts 4.0 is installed.

Have you ran it both with and without administrator rights? As that will make a difference to where it stores the serial in the registry, if I recall correctly.

I'm not sure any servers are down as I can connect every single time, just not on the first try. Every time I have to cancel it out and do it a second time or else it will not work. This has been for a few days. I hadn't noticed before because I mostly used direct connect. Also Scripts 3.4 works just fine every time.

Dave78742, is it possible that windows firewall is blocking some stuff for the 4.0 install but not for your 3.4 install? I get exactly the same behavior with "Negotiating firewall" for both. It may take a while to complete. It takes a few seconds for me, but when the servers are down/unreachable, it may take a few dozen seconds. Eventually it should complete. When you cancel it, it usually completes in the background, and you still have to wait for it to join the next server but you will not see the window again.

The mangler servers can be down even if you can join fine, btw. They are only necessary in some router/NAT configurations.

Taz, can you contact me on IM (details in my forum profile) or IRC (irc.blackintel.org or irc.n00bstories #blackintel)?
