Hello, My friend Squad57 said you guys might be able to help. I play Land Warrior and when I bypass to go to the server list and select a server to join it will not get past Verifying to join game. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, updated several times with no luck. I can join the games in BHD, TFD.

Thank you for your time..

Hi HDragon,

Are you running a broadband internet connection? (DSL, Cable, other) If so are you also running it through a router to share the connection with other PCs? Do you know if the broadband modem has a built in router or firewall? What version of Windows are you running? Do you know if you are running the built in Windows Firewall, or any firewall software?

Answers to the above may get us started on helping you. Not saying me specifically but it is info that may help someone figure it out.

Man as a collector of Dragons, that is one awsome Dragon! I would love to have a copy of that sitting on top of my desk. But alas my wife says "you have to damn many Dragons now, where you going to put it"? Guess she never heard of the old "I'll find a place", lol.

And no I don't play that type of game. Maybe I should, I sure can't hit anything with a damn Rifle, lol!

Tombstone that doesn't sound like the correct port to me? The one I have listed is 16567 isn't that the correct one? Also I do believe he needs a little bit more RAM than 512 doesn't he? Just asking as I am not sure!

Hey Goat, I think it is the correct port for the game he is trying to connect to...Total Land Warrior. And the 512mb Ram is enough for TLW, BHD, and TFD. You are right, it wouldn't be for BF2 though.

Dragon, are you able to see the servers in a server list? Does it show your ping to the server? Have you ever ran a trace route from you PC to a server IP. They have tools for this at www.dslreports.com, you may want to give it a try and see what the results are.

I am hoping others will look at this and offer their suggestions so you can get the best troubleshooting on this issue.

Just to make sure, the game he is trying to get back into is Delta Force Land Warrior. I think some of the OSS clan has played that, but mostly played DF2.

I talked to him last night and he has tried to load the game on a laptop and was still unable to connect. Do you suppose it is a problem with the CD key number? Especially since it he was able to play it on his old PC but not his new one after reloading it.

Thanks for the help any of you can offer.

Tomb- He is able to see the server lists, I don't think there are any server IP's listed or pings listed on the servers in that game.
