Title: Port issues
Post by: Machete on June 17, 2013, 06:19:06 am

Greetings.
I've tried connecting to Pure DM server, which's port is 80, but when I put the IP on my favorites list, it doesn't show up.
I've also tried adding the port at the firewall exceptions list, but no luck.
Does anybody know a solution for that?

Port 80 is for HTTP/Web traffic. If it was blocked you wouldn't be able to surf the net at all. There may be some kind of mix up in packet designation or something when your trying to connect. I'm not sure exactly what may be happening but I think hosting a server on a port such as 80 is a dodgy idea. If I add it to my list I can ping it fine. Check your firewall on PC/Router (if you have one) rules to see if theirs any specific rules for port 80 on Inbound/Outbound traffic which may cause issues.
