Author Topic: Fixing this master server outage  (Read 4948 times)

There is a solution for the mac users. I knew that the UNIX system also had a hosts file.

http://decoding.wordpress.com/2009/04/06/how-to-edit-the-hosts-file-in-mac-os-x-leopard/

just replace the notepad parts with this and you're all set.

Seriously, I have remaining problems. What do I do?

I'm having issues too.

I can only access some servers, and only a few people can come to my server.  Also, my server status doesn't work, and my server isn't on the blockland.us server list.

I cannot access any servers and my key wont authenticate fully. Also my key does not save as when I open Blockland again, it says the authentication failed and I have to put it back in each time..

forget it broke, I tried the mac fix but still no help im stuck in offline mode while my brother next to me is online and playing just fine (PC) I have no idea what to do. :\

Where is Badspot!?  And Ephilates?

I am not affected.

How?

Badspot said it was a DNS problem.

We see it, its right next to this...

Server status fixes are up to Destiny to fix.

It depends on what DNS servers you're using.

For example, none of my clients have been affected. I'm going to hardwire the master server IP before all hell breaks loose.

hey kalphiter, please put Tom's link in the OP for mac users

why is this so unnecessarily complicated? all you have to do is change your DNS.

1. click on the internet icon in the bottom right corner of your screen
2. right click on your connection and then click status
2. click properties
3. select IPv4 and click properties
4. click on "Use the following DNS server addresses"
5. put 8.8.8.8 in the top box and 8.8.4.4 in the bottom box

you are done.

there is probably something similar for mac users.
