Dawgy Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 I noticed something when I try to connect by IP address. 209.51.158.210 / Port 2003 It takes a second to connect. However... server.master-chief.net / Port 2003 This address connects instantly. What's wrong? Link to comment
orappa Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 That's weird. I would have thought that the second one would have taken longer, as it would have had to find out the IP from the DNS name. What it does is flick from DNS server to DNS server until it finds the one containing the information, so technically that should take longer. Link to comment
Dawgy Posted February 24, 2004 Author Share Posted February 24, 2004 Try to connect to the IP and see what happens. Does it connect fine for you, or does it take a few seconds? Link to comment
orappa Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Ah, I can't. I'm on my other PC because my hard disk burnt out on my main PC, and this one doesn't have XP / 2000, and so can't run MTA (not that it'd be fast enough to run it anyway). Link to comment
Dawgy Posted February 24, 2004 Author Share Posted February 24, 2004 I know it's not the connection. The server's ping is usually 49. Link to comment
