Unable to connect to any MTA servers :(

[Guest]

XP Home sp2

GTAVC (v1) no patches

Problem occurs when trying to connect..

With GTAVC disk already in the drive.

I click the MTA desktop icon,

Click "connect" then I get a message

that reads"Invalid Server IP or Port"[/b]

And/Or

When I click "Servers" the servers do load, but when I go and click on any server, I get the following message:

"Connecting..."

Disconnected CorrectionTimeOut (Delay- 10sec)

Look at the IP youre trying to connect to.. Its 127.0.0.1

That means youre trying to connect to yourself

I read that somewhere to use that, after while I managed to get it working..

It was working for atleast an hour, now I can get to the servers. But when I join, the servers are empty??

What do I do to fix this?? The servers Im joining have players there, but after I join the game nobodys there except me..

IE: 6/20 players, I join then 1/20 just me??

hit refresh again. Or try going to my server! (look at my sig) its actually down right now.. sorry ;p

Correction timed out?

um

try connecting to this:

IP: 213.230.209.155

Port: 2011

its a server thats always up...may not have players in but at least it will determine your problem. your trying to connect to 127.0.0.1 which is a RESERVED ip for LAN addresses, and there obviously isnt a server running on your LAN.
