BNLS Kerplosion?

[MyndFyre]

It appears that the BNLS server is unreachable....  I thought there might just be something wrong with my bot (or perhaps what it's resolving to), but Stealthbot also doesn't connect.  After tracert-ing, I think the problem might be on my end, but I'm not sure:

Here's the result from tracert:

I got sick of seeing a bunch of timeouts.

Any ideas?  My router is set up correctly (this machine is supposed to be DMZ), ports are open....  So I'm at a loss.

Looks to me like you got to Thing's backbone, then hit a firewall.  You'll just keep getting timeouts to 30 if you hit a firewall.

BNLS, BNETDocs, and the main vL site are down.

[Mephisto]

Thanks for the input.  *sigh*

If you didn't change anything on your side, it's obviously not your problem.  If you were to try accessing the server though your web browser or Telnet, you'll probably get the same results.  Also, I don't think we need an update everytime the server is not reachable [or down]

That's not necessarily true.  My host is very fickle; could be that they decided to block port 9367, or my DNS needs to be refreshed.

I was checking to see if other people were experiencing the problem as well.  Hence the "?" at the end of the topic title.

Any idea why its not working is it down or is it unreachable?

BNLS and vL-related things seem to have been down for awhile now so an update or an awnser on the problem would be nice from someone.

[Mephisto]

The [vL] server seems to be down at least once a week lately.

Stop using Windows 2000 as a server computer.

Stop using Windows 2000 as a server computer. 

I doubt that Win2K is used as his servers OS.

[iago]

It's using some form of Windows, that's bad enough

And if you don't like it, stop using BNLS.  You can run a JBLS server locally

[Michael]

Hrmmm... When will it be fixed!! ahhhh!!!!, runs around screaming of the horror!!!!

As UserLoser has shown me, JBLS is crap (assumes things it shouldn't to start), and not to mention that it doesn't support hashing old-style clients with BNLS_HASHDATA.

And what's wrong with using Windows 2000 as your server OS?  IIRC that is what Grok loaded on the [vL] server before shipping it off to Thing's network (which I was surprised Thing would accept it since it had Windows on it).
