World: r3wp

Well... keep in mind that on your local network, it's a different 
IP.  10.3.0.88 it appears.

What concerns me is that I CAN see your cmd: open -- which is your 
world startup.  But, there are no cmd: live pings.

Hmm, on server I seem to use 1.2(13) - info on splash screen, but 
then client shows 1.2.17

Most of the log contains live pings... millions of them.... but not 
from you.

That means you have the exe .13, but patches to .17 -- that is fine.

What does it mean - live ping? Is it Altme communication type of 
message?

any special ping or behaviour for - live ping? I hope not ... can't 
imagine how it could be blocked here ....

Try this in REBOL:
read dns://wns.altme.com

208.127.222.200

Yes, live ping is just altme packet indicating server is running.

Ok, correct.

BTW, the port is 5502, not 5500.

so, how could it "not to ping" actually?

That is a suprise to me.... I thought it was 5500.

well, you might be lucky, because most of networks don't block outgoing 
connections ... but those who do, will not be able to get to the 
network.

I also always wondered, why proxy does not work, if we have it available 
:-) (but that's different topic)

In the client log, I can see sometimes - wns 26-Oct-2009/9:28:23+1:00 
["find" "Vertuzo" lookup expired]

Ah... good idea. In the log config, add wns-ping monitoring.

how do I add it?

the beacon - should be done by my client, or my server? I mean - 
I could install Wireshark, and filter for packets on port 5500, to 
see, if it "pings"

1 min

in altme/prefs/prefs.txt, add the line:

debug: [events: [boot error note start halt wns wns-ping]]

on my client, or the server?

server... but, wait a min...

should I restart my servers?

actually, it's:  altme/prefs/debug  (no suffix, but as a text file)
Then, in that file:

events: [boot error ... above list  ]

restart just one server

so should I delete the debug line from prefs.txt?

btw, altme will notice the debug file, and rewrite it with all debug 
fields

correct, remove that line.

done - world Vertuzo restarted, Xidys runs the old way. Vertuzo runs 
on port 5402

sorry, vertuzo is 5401

is it running?

yes, it is ...

I can connect from remote client

I wonder how that is possible?

The log does not show that the world started. So, there is a problem 
on port 5502.

outgoing port 5502?

yes.

wait... nevermind. That's for an experimental build.

It's 5500 as documented.

I try to look at netstat -an on that machine, but nothing obvious 
....

look at log file.

btw - debug file did not change ...

servers/vertuzo/log.txt?

yes

look for line that begins with wns

nothing logged ...

altme/prefs/debug (no suffix), added following line:

events: [boot error note start halt wns wns-ping]

is that correct? Then I restarted one world - Vertuzo, port 5401
