FLHook Socket can't connect

Hi,

I’m helping Oldsta to set up the new Freeworlds game server.

We are using flhook socket for a number of things, all running fine for years on the old server.

The new server is Windows 2008, Freeworlds 19.62 mod, FLHook 2.0.0. FLHook socket listens on port 443.

I installed telnet to test it.

In a dos box on the server, when I do
telnet localhost 443
I can login fine with the pass <<password>> and I can work with the flhook socket fine.

But when I do
telnet <<the server’s=“” ip=“” address=“”>> 443
The response is hanging. I see I can type, and even the cursor moves in the dos box, but no response.

The same for connecting from the outside.

The port 443 is opened in the Windows firewall for tcp. Even when I switch-off the firewall temporarily, I cannot connect.

What do you reckon?</the></password>

I tried port 1919, restarted flserver/flhook, opened the port in windows firewall.

Same result. Telnet could not connect (while it works fine on localhost and port 1919)

The error is different though. Now I get a “Connection timed out”

Oldsta restarted the VM on which the windows server runs.

Now flhook socket works!

Thanks ppl.
