Dath Maximus Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 firstly make sure the server is active. next make sure its a reliable server. if that doesnt work then hit someone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivingSacrifice Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 I get that a lot. Just wait a few, if it doesn't connect, leave and then try to re-connect. If that fails, go to another server. If all fails, do what Dath said (just not me) Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danoz_g700 Posted August 13, 2002 Author Share Posted August 13, 2002 thanks you guys for your help but i have got one more question, about what number on "Awaiting connection......" do you have to wait till usually? i have waited till 800 one time. and i know it should not take that long:) Thanks, Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivingSacrifice Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 Don't know, sometimes it seems to take forever. If I don't connect right away, I will usually go to some other server, or disconnect and then re-connect again like I said. It all depends on (I think, don't know if this is true) how many people are on the server. If it's full, you will have to wait until another player disconnects. Hope this helps.

leXX Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 If it doesn't connect straight away and I see a number, I leave that server straight away and try another! If you start to see a number...there is a good chance it isn't going to connect. Check ALLyour settings carefully! Is it set to the right connection ie: lan/cable, 56k etc? If all else fails...cry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teutonicknight Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 or beat up the computer ..... :compcry: :compcry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druid Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 LOL teut:D what lexx said, but I seldom get those counters going. I guess I'm just lucky to pick some low lagging servers...I dunno I NEVER join a server with a ping above 250. Darkside servers are often 200+ for me so it's a challenge to survive *LOL* and welcome to the forums...here, take your complimentary fruitbasket and be healthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danoz_g700 Posted August 14, 2002 Author Share Posted August 14, 2002 thanks guys i appreciate the help:) but sadly i thought well if i am having bad luck choosing i will just go through the list one by one so i did not one connected my settings were to LAN/Cable and i have i cable modem so in a few hours my computer is going to go out the window if it does not work this last time:( thanks you guys for your greetings, Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinWalker Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 It sounds as though Jedi Knight doesn't see your internet connection for some reason...... I think there may be a setting / config issue here. Try troubleshooting step-by-step and don't overlook obvious things like making sure you are actually connected. Did you say you were on a cable modem? These are usually always on, so the culprit *may* be a firewall (software or hardware). Be sure to exclude JK2's port number or perhaps even turn it off. I use ZoneAlarm and have no probs. SKin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
