Title: Main Server's Main IP Address Problem
Post by: Arran on 10 06, 2013, 03:19:46 pm
As it says at the top of every page on the website and even in the server name, you need to connect to mtasa://s1.cit2.net as the main IP (mtasa://s0.cit2.net) isn't working.

It seems that for some reason our host has blocked the IP:Port but it works on any other IP or port. So I've sent them a message to ask what's going on. It worked for about 5 minutes, 5 minutes ago and then stopped working again.

Worst case scenario is we have to use another IP for main, or another port. If they can't or won't fix it for us. Which would suck as we've had the same IP:Port since the day of release and everyone has it in their favourites.

So we'll be able to log into the server normally with the " s1.cit2.net ", or we've to wait till they fix the problem ?

We can log in at the main server using the IP "s1.cit2.net:22003".

I typed the IP address as : s1.cit2.net:22003 in the browser's IP address bar but I got an error as : 'Connection failed: Invalid host provided !', have I did something wrong or should I type the whole address like: mtasa://s1.cit2.net:22003 ?

It works for me even I type s1.cit2.net only.
Try mtasa://5.135.139.193:22003(It shows to me after I use s1.cit2.net)

Hm, it's not a big deal which IP, cause we can use s1.cit2.net:22003

Oh yeah that alternate IP address worked fine. Thanks chR0m3. Also, now the s1.cit2.net:22003 IP is working too.

You're welcome.

But mtasa://5.135.139.193:22003 is a working alternate; so if it fails with the hosters, this should be used as it's a valid, working IP opposed to 's1.cit2.net'.
Not bad idea, but I'll stay neutral.

It's an informational update regarding the status of a major problem.

His post was still useless though even if it does make sense.

The problem here is many CIT players don´t have forum acc and they don´t know how to connect to our server. That is a problem how you guys can see since this problem appeared CIT doesn´t have anymore that bunch of players like before. I hope this problem gets fixed faster,

Eh, I've had no problems connecting the normal way, or using the forums to connect. The provided info on '' News '' and people spreading the word quickly makes one aware not all is as it was but ... The biggest problem right now is getting people to understand that the process is a little different, to connect. If before they could connect via '' favorites '' and now they can't, afaik they can do so succesfully via '' Connect '' button, which is stated in '' News ''.

People seem to think that S1 doesn't work, even when I spam notes and IRC messages that it does work they still seem to think it's '' Broken ''. I've explained in s2 & 3 how to connect and where the instructions are and such. I've noticed a lower number of players, it's probably due to them not knowing how to connect, because, we can connect but it's just a teeny bit different, people who don't read or pay attention to any kind of '' text ( News: blablabla ) '' may struggle to figure out how to get back to CIT.

People should read all the news and updates because, then I think they'd get back to CIT and not be lost on this path of '' OMG WHERE'S CIT S1 '' and would probably reduce the number of spam in the Help section, '' Can't connect to CIT, etc ''.

Hopefully this'll be resolved somehow, soon.

Geez, I was wondering what happened. But why the sudden change with the provider?

Guys, I don't know its for everyone or only for me. When I type "s1.cit2.net" its says "Invalid Host Provided" and same says when I connect from the website button.

However, it works on 5th or 6th try, I just spam typing the IP and works one time. Thats it.

The host says they aren't blocking it, but whatever is blocking it is definitely out of my control as I've ran tests. So after 2 years of using the same IP, we're changing to another one. You'll see it in the server browser and it to your favourites.

I think some/many (I don't know) people aren't going to the site and check the news about the IP change.
So did I with other games/servers, I just go play and don't check the site.

Maybe that's the reason why less players are online.
