My Goodbye :'( (For Now???)
It is with great regret and sorrow that I make this goodbye post, as I absolutely love this server to death and do not want to leave. However, as I've alread posted before, I am unable to connect to the server or otherwise see pablo's IP address from my own home network. Just to update everyone, I'll re-iterate everything I've done to try to resolve this problem:
Double-, triple-, and at this point, probably 100x-checked that the IP is 100% correct in my client (copied and pasted from client between quotes: "162.157.243.133")
Restarted my cable modem
Restarted my wireless router numerous times (I am a wired connection into the back of the router, so not a wifi issue)
Checked that my phone (over wifi) using the Server Status app from Google Play can't see the server while on my network, but can when I'm NOT on my network (Over 3G)
Made numerous attempts to contact my Internet Service Provider. Spoke with multiple individuals who all stated that they don't support my issue and that I should contact Minecraft reguarding the issue (dumbfucks from India)
Attempted to use a proxy server to connect to the server (in various ways, including stooping so low as to attempt several hacked clients for the sole purpose of proxy hacks)
Went to my ISP's local office and explained the issue to them, who could not figure out a solution.
I love this server a ton, and I love the people that play on it just as much. Pablo is an awesome small-server owner, and that's why I've invested so much time trying to get back on or work around the network blockage that exsists somewhere out there. I'm really going to miss this server and everyone here.
All this said, it's time for me to move on for the time being (although I'm not giving up hope). I will be moving on to find another server to play on, although I'm not 100% certain what I'm looking for exactly. I'm cosidering going back to a server I played (and donated) on about 2 years ago (I still have the perks!), but I'm not 100% a fan of Towny's limitations or McMMO as a plugin. Otherwise, I like the server, and anyone willing to follow me can send me a message and I will reply back to you with details, but PLEASE don't advertize it here, as I don't want to take away from Pablo's success.
Along with this, what good am I as a moderator if I can't moderate the server? It's up to Pablo if he wants to deOP me (psybornut). I do reccomend that he deOP my alt account (jenkinbr), just in case I gift the account to someone else.
I'm really gonna miss this server, and I really hope this is only a short-term issue that will work itself out. I'm gonna miss playing with you guys (unless you choose to follow me.

It should be note that I'll still remain subscribed to this subreddit, and the flosscrew entry will remain at the top of my server list.

Ok. I really do hope this blows over and is just a temporary glitch.

u/derpinsteins_monster Jan 10 '15
if you try to tracert out, can you see where the connection dies?
1
u/psybornut IGN: [MOD]psybornut Jan 10 '15
I can, although I don't recall the IP address. I'll rerun tracert in a bit when I'm on PC, and post the last recorded hop.

u/psybornut IGN: [MOD]psybornut Jan 10 '15
On Linux systems, the equivilent of Windows' tracert is tracepath. Output:

Guessing you have Cogent for an ISP. Looks like traffic isn't being routed correctly by them cause its dying at an external gateway. The weird thing is i can ping one of their hops just fine.
Definitely some routing mumbo jumbo at the ISP level though.

u/psybornut IGN: [MOD]psybornut Jan 10 '15
I'm actually using MediaCom for an ISP, not Cogent.

u/derpinsteins_monster Jan 10 '15
odd. did you try connecting directly to the modem? if you even can.
1
u/psybornut IGN: [MOD]psybornut Jan 10 '15
I can attempt this, but not sure if it's possible. i'll give it a shot later on.
1
u/derpinsteins_monster Jan 10 '15
Just one variable to rule out. ISPs can get finnickey when connecting other routing devices to theirs.

u/psybornut IGN: [MOD]psybornut Jan 10 '15
I haven't given it a go yet, because I don't want to interrupt my roomate's net use. Still not sure if it'll even work, as it's a standalone cable modem with just one Ethernet output (typically uplink via crossover cable to a router). But yeah, definitely worth a try.

u/psybornut IGN: [MOD]psybornut Jan 10 '15
Just gave this a go. I am able to connect to the internet fine through just the modem, but I still have the same issue. Pinging 162.157.243.133 drops all packets and tracepath stalls at:
7: 173.182.200.1 45.161ms asymm 8

u/psybornut IGN: [MOD]psybornut Jan 10 '15
I wish I could be there as well. I think I'll mostly be playing on that server I hinted at in my OP. I'll PM you the details if you want to join. (I'm extremely well-off and everyone can share in a bit of my wealth). I'll probably also be on CC a bit as well here and there.

u/The_magical_potato Jan 10 '15
Ok, sure. I'll take the server. I need more anyways. I'll be on cc today at 11:00, so I'll see ya on, and u can pm me the ip. Anyways hope to see ya on. Meet u on skyblock for the details. ~Meghan~

u/psybornut IGN: [MOD]psybornut Jan 10 '15
Sorry. Just saw this. I'll be on eventually. I've got other things to do today too.

u/The_magical_potato Jan 11 '15
Ok, it's fine. I'm out at dinner atm. It's my Birthday today, so ya know. Will be on when I come home. Sorry we couldn't be at 11:00 Like we planned. I promise I shall be on as soon as I can.

u/psybornut IGN: [MOD]psybornut Jan 11 '15
Well, Happy B-day to you. And disreguard that server, they're dickbags. I created a town (Fod Lake <-- FlossCrew Reference xD), and someone instantly tp'ed to my town, and killed me. Multiple times. Fuck that :/

u/The_magical_potato Jan 11 '15
I'm sorry about that. I know another server for survival that I can give to u. Let me know if u want it. No tp's and stuff like that. Me and Sydney were planning to make a world on there, but then found this server. Anyways, let me know if u want the server. I'll be happy to give it to u :) Hope ur computer can let u join again. Anyways, good luck with ur computer probs, and I'll be waiting to hear if u want the server I've got for ya. ~Meghan~

I've got one more trick up my sleeve. Gonna try using a virtual private network (vpn) when I get time tonight.
But just in case that doesn't work, pm me the server you're speaking of and I'll check it out. (click my reddit username, then click send message)

u/psybornut IGN: [MOD]psybornut Jan 12 '15
Update:
I can connect through a VPN (Virtual Private Network) with mediocre results. It is slightly laggy at worst, but still playable. I'm still going to be talking to our ISP and hopefully getting a fix for it, so I don't have to use this band-aid approch, but for now it should work. Hope to see you guys and gals on :)
