Cant connect to server

[Sliceman]

Added this IP to favorites.

72.232.254.202:6777

Tells me retreiving info,0/0 players,ping 9999.

My friends on ventrilo are playing this as I speak so Im gonna assume the server is up.What now? :\

as far as I can tell, you are not banned server side, so try deleting all instances of gtasa.set ( or something like that ) from your computer directory place, then re-install game / samp and try again.

Nope,same error.It finds 2550 other servers if I let them load,just not this one :\

just look for it on the internet instead of adding to fav's that what I do and i haven't had any probs

Whats the server name?

I try connecting via favorites and it tells me-

SA:MP 0.2X Initialized
Connecting to 72.232.254.202:6777...
The server didnt respond.Retrying..

[Rachael]

do you connect with the same IP you posted this thread on?

[Sliceman]

Im gonna assume yes?

[Sliceman]

Franky,im out of ideas.

If I was banned,which im not,the server would still show up.

If tried installing/uninstalling 2 different versions of GTA-SA and reinstalling/redling Sa-Mp.

Ive also switched from my wireless router to my no-wireless modem which gives me better ping but that hasnt worked either.

Ive managed to get on several other servers and play them normally,just for some reason not this one.If anyone else knows something that might be blocking me like a bad port or something feel free to let me know :\

If you use a router you can try just setting your computer as DMZ. Also, I'm assuming you have the correct version if you can connect to others servers, but may as well check to make sure you have the correct samp version...I'm not sure if the SAMP version it tells you when you connect is for the server or your own client.(I had this same problem and was too dumb to realize I had the wrong samp version)

[Sliceman]

DMZPlus Mode Enabled.

Tried searching it with Samp,nothing.

I then downloaded the third party client thing from Sa-Mp and ran it,told me I was already updated.

After 2-4 hours of troubleshooting with exzo,its determined that SZR is blocking me or my ip address.

74.173.164.218

Thanks for alll the help Exzo.Anyways,I managed to view the server through a proxy.So its gotta be something that SZR is blocking thats killing me.
