 Posted: Thu May 04, 2006 7:23 am Post subject: HELP ME WITH THIS RARE PROBLEM |
 |
|
im attempting to set up abyss as a virtual server so that a program of mine could update from it.The program will update from a site which is on the net but i would want the program to update from my host at my computer.
I added this entry to my hosts file at C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
127.0.0.1 nprotect.maplesea.com
It did not work.I did not know why but i think that maybe it has got to do with my internet connection.My internet service provider requires me to add their proxy to connect.I have no idea how i can change the link to nprotect.maplesea.com to 127.0.0.1.How do i change it?
I had the server running when the program tried to update itself from nprotect.maplesea.com but the abyss server that i use to set up did not work.
According to what i know adding a entry like this
:
127.0.0.1 nprotect.maplesea.com
to the hosts file would redirect the user to 127.0.0.1 when he enter this to his url. but this does not work for me.I had that in my hosts file and when i enter nprotect.maplesea.com to my url i get to the actual site.Wasnt i suppose to be redirected to 127.0.0.1 when i enter that?How come.
Pls help
Your help would be much appreciated.Thank You

It tells windows that the IP Address of that server is 127.0.0.1.
If you go Start >> Run >> Type nslookup
then in the command window type the domain, and it will say IP Address: 127.0.0.1

nslookup isn't a useful utility for this. It is a DNS query tool, so it will always attempt to fetch a valid result from your named DNS server.
Instead, open a CMD prompt and type
ping nprotect.maplesea.com
You should see something like
Pinging nprotect.maplesea.com [127.0.0.1] with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
Ping statistics for 127.0.0.1:
Packets: Sent = 3, Received = 3, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms
If a program makes a direct DNS query in it's own code, it will bypass your hosts file modification - since nprotect is an anti hack/cheat tool, I imagine it's designed to easily avoid simple hacks like this. You should also know that you would have to replicate exactly the challenge/response mechanism of nprotect on your local website in order for you to have any chance of convincing it that your local server is a legitmate update server. You don't seem to have planned that far ahead...
Also, please try to title your forum posts correctly. This isn't a "RARE PROBLEM" it's a DNS/hosts file/networking issue.

The game would not make a direct DNS query to the server since there are many people who's isp require them to connect through a proxy.BTW you didnt gave a solution

We do not tolerate abuse in this forum. If this person does not help you simply ignore them. I can however tell you that Anonymoose is a well respected member of the forum and probably has a lot better qualifications than you do in the area of web hosting.

I just gave you practical advice. If you choose to ignore it because you're too stupid to follow simple instructions given here, that's your choice.
Again, just because you have previous files for nprotect doesn't mean that it's easy to replicate whatever system was used to deliver them. If it 'works for other people the same way' then why aren't you following their own set of instructions - I'm sure they'd have written them up for people like yourself to follow.
:roll:

Sorry man.I was drunk that day. After trying out for a few days and reading up on it, it was to no avail and you should understand how it feels.
you told me about the nslookup but u didnt gave me solution.I taught the other people this method and it works for them as their hosts file didnt get bypassed.Perhaps due to my lan connection or something with my isp requiring a proxy to connect to the www ,and so i didnt manage to use the hosts file as it usually would.I just would want to find out about the reason that it didnt work for me.I reckon that by titling rare problem,more people would view my post and therefore there ll be more replies. I didnt intend to flame you or anything.I apologise for my rude manners on that post .
i tried pinging it as shown below :
C:\Documents and Settings\Admin>ping nprotect.maplesea.com
