Strange error while connecting

Kildar · Post by **Kildar** » Thu Mar 15, 2007 5:52 pm

Hello everyone, I just made my account and character, and when I try to log in, I get the following message:

java.net.MalformedURLException: unknown protocol: socket

And then the client crashes. What could be the problem?

Looks somehow like the Client can't establish a connection.

Is there any Firewall running? What operation system do you use?

WinXP, and shutting down the firewall didn't help. Should I post the whole error log?

go into your Control Panel
Open "Java"
Click on "Network Settings"

Select "Direct Connection"

click ok a couple of times to exit

Try to launch the client again

Tried, but nothing changed.

What version of Java are you using?

Kildar · Post by **Kildar** » Thu Mar 15, 2007 6:34 pm

1.6.0-b105, the latest, according to the updater.

Hrm. I fear i'm running out of ideas. Maybe Nop, our Client developer is able to help you as soon as he returns.

and you are shure that no Firewall is blocking the client, or a proxy server or something else is blocking illarion.org or the game port? It seems that the url can't be resolved.

Firewall - no.
Proxy server - maybe. I have no acces to the proxy server's settings.
