Connection Refused

[Crystal Knight]

I am trying to log into Tao but it is saying connection refused.

There is noone on my accounts
I was never kicked
i dont think i was ip banned

It is saying this on every server

Anyone have any ideas

It is possible that someone was banned with a similar IP range to yours which could consequently ban you as well, even though you did nothing wrong. If I were you I would try contacting a moderator to see if they can help you resolve the problem.

Thanks I will

It could be due to several reasons:

A) Like toledo said, somebody with a VERY similar IP got banned and the game/sever does not reckognize your own IP quite well, so you can not log in back till the ban expire. (Usually over 3 hrs, unless there has been more than 1 ban in a day, it would go 3+3 and so on.)



B) There was a lag when you were connected in the game and then you DID have a DC. When this happends your IP might get stuck and you will not be able to play again untill the lag of your internet disappear. (Usually just a few seconds or a minute) Just wait.

b.1.- If it does not work, you can also just go to your control panel and clear the cookies and or history under Internet Options

This is a software that should make the things easier for you, is not against the game rules and works fine with every browser:

CCleaner
http://www.ccleaner.com/

You may download it if you want, i use it everytime i get the same message and there is no reason, apparently just like in your case

C) Perhaps you or somebody else was trying to use TAO with a double screen, i mean that the server(s) will not allow you to log in twice while you already connected with some other account in the same server, that might be the reason that leads you to get that message. You can only log in with 1 account per server at a time, if you want to play with some other account ...log out and use the other one.



I hope that helps you to solve this issue, if it does not, you can always ask for a moderator's help. Use the private messages and dont be afraid to ask. :)

Have a nice day.

Network analysts use replies to the ICMP echo request (ping) packets to assess the presence of on-line hosts. However, many networks have firewalls which refuse to reply to ping. An established TCP connection also demonstrates that the remote host is on-line, but there are the disadvantages that the remote host must have ports listening for connections usually associated with some service, like a web page or ftp server, and that the analyst already has information about what services are offered by the host.

This preliminary report illustrates the use of the TCP [RFC 793] connection refused error as a method to discover and demonstrate the presence of on-line hosts in a network. When a client program sends a TCP SYN packet to request a connection, a reply packet with the ACK and RST flags set, according to examination of captured packets, is classed as a connection refused error. The msec response latency for receipt of this error packet is generally similar to that required for establishing a connection concerning the first two steps in the handshake procedure.
