whats TCP traffic and where you find it? Well this is separate from your issue, where you said you can connect to games but you're having major problems with frequent disconnects. [Edit: Nevermind, I see the problem is that you actually hijacked the other thread and posted a completely different issue. This thread is actually the one that concerns you.] But to explain briefly, all communication on the Internet uses chunks of data called packets. There are two major "flavors" of packets that are used: UDP and TCP. UDP is used for cases where you're not too worried about whether the packets get there or in what order. TCP does more of a firm connection, where it can adjust for cases where packets get lost, and this makes up the majority of traffic on the Internet. When your browser looks up a webpage, it's using TCP. BYOND games also use TCP connections. | |

You'll need byond, dreamdaemon, and dreamseeker to all be allowed to use the Internet. If you don't see any settings for whether to allow TCP or UDP, or whether it's in or out, then you might not need to set that; it might just be based on the program alone. You might need to look at the exception rules for each of these programs in more detail (if it has a more detailed screen) to see more. | |

But if you haven't used DS for hosting any games yet, it might not need an exception yet since DS does most of its communication outbound. It only cares about incoming connections if you use it to host. The bigger problem is the pager. It's in your exceptions list, but either it's not taking incoming traffic properly or else the program is not being recognized, probably because of a hash that changed the last time the program was updated. I don't know the specifics of which firewall you're using or how to configure it, but I would think each of the exceptions in that list can be clicked or double-clicked to bring up a window with more details. Bear in mind you may also have more than one firewall. If you have an nVidia graphics card there's a good chance their firewall is in play, and it should be disabled because it has no excuse for even existing. You may also have another third-party firewall and the Windows firewall both running at the same time. | |

I was talking about a list of programs in your firewall's exceptions--I don't think Dream Maker should appear there at all since it doesn't use Internet access at this time. If the firewall's exception list is what you meant, then you may need to add an exception rule for Dream Seeker. However I think the pager (byond.exe) is the one that's really causing your troubles. If it appears in your firewall's exceptions and all its settings look correct, first try adding an exception for Dream Seeker too, and then if that fails you should look for another firewall. (It's not uncommon to have two running and not know it.) But if you're asking about where the programs are physically located, they should all be in byond/bin in the directory where you installed it (usually C:\Program Files\BYOND\bin to be more precise). Feel free to post screenshots if you want, if you're not sure what you're looking at on the various configuration screens. | |
Your firewall is misconfigured. Allow TCP traffic in and out for all BYOND apps, and disable any hash check if it uses one.
