Author Topic: Server issue: "Authentication DNS Failed"  (Read 1286 times)

I was trying to host my server today, and there were a few issues I had.
First, I started a server. It started smoothly. After a while of no one joining, I asked on RTB chat if anyone could test it. They told me my server was not on the list. Shortly afterward, a window popped up stating "Authentication DNS Failed". I got some assistance from RTB chat, but in the end it didn't really work.

Here is a small chunk of the console log:

Issuing Disconnect packet.

I had disable UPnP checked. I don't know if that's what I should do or not since no one would tell me that.
I'm using a Mac. No Mac hate, since I'm not the one who bought it.
If you have any suggestions, please post them. Everything was working last night.

Also, here's a list of things I've tried:

Reinstalling
Deleting cache.db(which re-created itself, unsure if this is supposed to happen)
Restarting
Setting everything Blockland-related to Read and Write for everyone
Running no other programs while server is up
Trying with UPnP enabled(I usually do disabled and it does work)
Asking in RTB Connect many, many times
Patience
Ragequitting

Post the full console log please. If you don't know how to do that, go here.

Figured it out, somehow RTB was breaking it. I'm not sure what was going on.
