Netburner only accessible from some internet providers.

I have just found out that Verizon Broadband Wireless Access does not do well either.

I brought the servers back to the USA and I have no problems with any provider. Doesn't this sound like a timeout in the server dropping the link?

Ooh, could be a ttl issue. I noticed that in the InitializeStack routine (ip.cpp), the default ttl (bTTL_Default) was set to 60. This may not be enough, I'd bump it up to 200 just to see what it does.

thomastaranowski,

You have no idea how much like magic that sounds. Also, I am not used to messing with library functions. I found the location. Do I have to recompile the library or just put the "offending" file in my workspace and add it to the project (suitable modified, of course)?

Thanks for the input.

macpherson:

library changes:
1. make the change to the file in question in either ..\system or ..\include with notepad or whatever
2. open a DOS box and type in the commands:
3. cd \nburn<return>
4. SETENV<return>
5. cd system<return>
6. make clean<return>
7. make depend<return>
8. make<return>

yer done.

you might not need "make clean" and "make depend" depending on if there are time-date issues or not. I typically do it no matter what

Well, guys, I appreciate the help but no cigar.

One of the servers is back in Mexico and I changed the 60 to 200 with no effect. If anyone wants to try accessing the server themselves, I will give you a user name and password for the site by e-mail.
