The only possible way for it to be corrupted is with a change with your "byond" application. Since beforehand it worked, and no system things were changed on my PC. So would it be mainly because when the app was ran our system and yours didn't work in unison correctly?

If you'd notice...Port forwarding...doesn't help when it's outdated. I've tried it multiple times when I have both a RCA Router directly to comcast, and a Linksys as well. It's VERY hard to do...

The problem is with your ISP (or more likely an issue between your ISP and ours). | |
Your byond server hub was never registered on my pager....
Go into Pager<File<Preferences<Advanced Then in the Hub Address you can put www.byond.com It worked for me, I'm assuming that mightive been the case. www.byond.com | |
Actually I just put www.byond.com in for the Hub address, and it worked. I didn't do the 6001 thing.
My Hub address wasn't even filled in when I put your solution in, and I just tested this. | |

An empty hub address uses the default setting, which is hub.byond.com:6001. You are currently not able to reach that machine (test with: ping hub.byond.com) which is why you were having the problem. We prefer that people connect to hub.byond.com:6001 instead of www.byond.com:6001 since the second one is our web machine, but in this case you are only seeing the web machine so it's all we can do. In v.451 we'll setup these fallback addresses by default so you won't have to do this should the problem arise in the future. | |
Thank you, it worked. Sorry for the late reply, went to boxing practice and was tired when I got home, so I couldn't check it, but I really appreciate it now I get to play my favorite games. xP

Don't know if you saw this earlier, but I'm able to log in to the pager, but I get a failure when connecting to games. In particular I'm trying to connect to byond://slurm.us:26300/.

I am able to reach that. Are you able to ping that address (ping slurm.us)? It seems as if some ISPs are having DNS issues so it may be more widespread than our hub machine. | |

I DID IT!!!!!! Guys! If you have a router with port forwarding, make sure that you set your pager port also! Woohoo! BYOND is Back!!
