The unfound server

[The Hobo]

Hello, everyone

My problem is this; one day, i was playing blockland. I was hosting my own game, when all of a sudden everyone left. I understood it was an error, and disconnected from my own game. when I tried to start a new game, I was given the "Authentication failed" notice. I looked it up in the FAQ, and found that it was either someone else using me, internet connection, or master server. well, master obviously wasn't down, and I could start internet, so... uh-oh. I quit blockland, and started it again. surprisingly, i could start a game, and join others. however, when I started an internet game, after 30 mins with no joins, I knew something was wrong. so i rebooted, and tried again. no one. Believe me, I waited long enough. and I could and can connect to other peoples. Just no one can connect to me. Please help.

Thanks

Is it possible someone has advanced remote access to your computer?
Sounds like someone maybe used your BL key then un-forwarded your ports?

How can i check for remote access? and... why would they ever want to do that? In the mean time, I'm going to check my ports

This happens to me all the loving time, it isn't a problem. After being on for a while, auth times out for some reason. Just restart and it should work. People probably just didn't want to join back.

I found the problem. The ports have reset for some reason... *Stares at china*

How could that happen mid-game like that...

[The Hobo]

I'm telling you. it's the Chinese!

Thats a good question. well, next time it happens, i'll know where to look.

But that was really weird.

if anyone's on blockland now, could they please log into Unstable cow's city, and tell me its found? And if you don't find it, post here.
