Remote Host Disconnected Problem
I've got problems with accessing in-game addon downloads and Internet Multiplayer. I have Internet connection and everything, but when I click either Get Addons or Multiplayer -> Join Official Server it instantly says "Remote Host Disconnected. I haven't been able to fix it, does anyone know what's wrong and how I can fix it?
Attention!
I've decided that Wesnoth is not for me. It's not my kinda game, and I realise that I do not enjoy making campaigns for it. I will continue to visit the forums and play, but I will never have anything to do with WML.

Are you behind any corporate firewalls, etc? Any barrier between network connections (closed ports specifically) may lead to errors between the client (BfW) and the MP server. However, from my experience, such conditions would lead to instant error message "could not connect to host", instead of "connection timed out" when you timed out trying to connect.
Take a breath.

So... is there any special way to set up Wesnoth to connect to the Internet? Because I don't think it can see my connection.

Do you use a proxy server to connect to the internet? (Maybe check the proxy settings of your browser to see if anything is set there.)The Doctor wrote: 4.) Not sure, I can tell you my we use Internode, Broadband, and I go through a LAN network to my Dad's PC.

There is no 1.2.8 for and Ubuntu distribution. The highest I could find was 1.2.6.Weeksy wrote:try using 1.2.8 and see if it helps at all.
I don't think that anything there would be stopping it, but I'll have a look.Soliton wrote:Do you use a proxy server to connect to the internet?

I don't think so either because that makes no sense.The Doctor wrote:I don't think that anything there would be stopping it, but I'll have a look.Soliton wrote:Do you use a proxy server to connect to the internet? (Maybe check the proxy settings of your browser to see if anything is set there.)
It was a hint for you how to find out whether you use a proxy or not since it seemed to me you have no clue about your network setup.

Eh, not really. I don't care much for that. So... any other suggestions?

Heh, well, anyway...
I figured out the problem. We do have a firewall, my Dad told me last night. The damn thing is blocking the connection, so that's why it's not working. Does anyone know how to set Wesnoth to bypass a firewall?

Hey, I remember that! Oh well, it doesn't matter now, it wouldn't have done anything, as it's the damn firewall that's blocking the connection. Stupid damn firewall, I'll summon my level 3 merman javelineer to pwn ur stupid fire butt!
