Title: Hyperlobby FIX
Post by: TX-Rahman on January 30, 2006, 10:09:39 pm
Hyperlobby appears to be, but is actually not down. It's because of their DNS being hosed.
The error shows up as: Error Socket: 11004 Valid name, no data record of requested type
Here's the quickfix.
Download the file "hosts" from http://ftp://69.56.198.2/HLClient
The file should go in: c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
All the file does is tell your PC how to find the ip for the server that the HL client is trying to connect to. If there is already a "hosts" file in this location. Rename it. DO NOT mess with the lmhosts.sam file.
Once you drop this file on your system, you should be able to launch HL and connect.
I will be on TX-Squadron public TS server at 69.56.198.2 if anyone needs help.
Here is the actual contents of the file:
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
127.0.0.1 localhost
213.215.67.3 hyperfighter.sk
213.215.67.3 hlhost.hyperfighter.sk

Just a small disclaimer...If you don't know anything about computers and doubt your abilities...don't attempt this. It's simple but I can't be held responsible for you screwing up your system. Am just trying to help the community.NOTE: This is a temporary fix until the DNS is resolving once again.S~~Regards,TX-Rahman"BLACK 4"
