gates continually crashing

[Callisto]

I believe my server is getting pinnged continually by someone i have protectrungate and a firewall but i dont know what ports to block to stop these ping attacks

is there a program that is better suited or something

other than that can someone give me any idea how i can prevent chargate from failing or stop a runDB Dbwait error from occuring

This may not be you being pinneg it could be lack of PC resoures can you put spec of PC's you are using & do u run all on 1 pc or over several pc's

Camelot has been up will very few problems since November I believe so I doubt it's the PC specs unless a hardware problem but I should think team has checked and rechecked this

Callisto's ISP recently did some work on the cables in the area which caused lag and disconnect problems, not been the same since in my opinion...just an outsiders view

Callisto said to me that pings coming constantly, a new IP every time but always from the same location....don't know if that info helps.

Get callisto to PM me.

This will take more than a forum thread to fix

hi ya if your server as been up for 6 months or more the NPC files are getting a bit big now so you mite like to delete them dbwait is lack of RAM so drop the number of lowe lvl mobs too will help you dont need 500 hens yeti's oma's wolf's running around

Files on Camelot-Liquidsilver are cleaned on a regular basis. Some mob spawns were reduced and even all the guards were removed, but the problem still persisted. Then suddenly yesterday it disappeared. I think the attacker has got a problem where they cant attack atm (i'll say no more).

I think its sad that anyone would want to attack our server. I continue to help other servers if I can just as Mualdor did (and still does). I recently sent Daywalker a file on how to fix SW. There is no reason to persistantly attack another server. People choose to play each server for their own reasons. Thinking that putting a server down will make poeple play on their own server won't always work.
All our players are kept informed of who has been attacking us. Therefore if another server owner attacks us, all our players are informed of who it is and they will generally choose not to play on the attacking server.

ye Olymp server had similar probs in the past 2..i advice all server Owners to protect their server pc's thoroughly..there r always some jealous/grief peeps or just busy hackers who tries themselfes out on easy targets hehe
though that crashing gates may not due to hacker attacks but as iamdeath sad due to a lack of recources (Olymp server had same probs 2 in the starting times cause of low ram and slow cpu)

Well we decreased mob on the server and there was still no difference. It's strange that we have the exact same files and set up on our test servers, the only difference being that the test servers are not accessable via the interenet. The test servers do not have the same problems as the main server.
Anyway atm the server is in pc shop for repairs, hopefully this will sort out any problems that the pc may have attributed to troubles that the server was having. It's being picked later today.
