Still not able to make foundations work-EDIT: FIXED ! :)

I am really getting frustrated with this. I am on my 8th try now to get this damn thing to work and still I get that damn 404 Error.

The funny thing is this: the first time I copied my files to a folder in my d drive (thinking that it would be better for not conflicting) and I got to the second update before it errored out and stopped.

So I figured well, maybe I should have it on my C drive. This time I couldn't even get thru the first patch. I have uninstalled and deleted all my files, even cleaned out my registry. I did a fresh re-install and started over.

And still it doesn't want to connect, get the same 404 error message.

Finally I have called in the big guns, my husband. He does QA and networking for a living and is the one that maintains our routers, linux server, etc.

He's at a loss too... even tried installing it all onto his computer since its the "main one" and wouldn't work either.

Only thing he can figure is maybe there is a different port that needs to be opened up or modified in order to access the servers. I have never had troubles getting an update or connecting before and so this is very frustrating for me, especially since I know what I am doing and I'm not clueless when it comes to this sort of stuff.

So if anyone has any advanced suggestions (ie please no, did you make sure the ip is correct and no spaces because yes it is correct) please let me know.

I am going to contact RightNow for some help although they will probably just say the same thing as everyone else has. I mean, I know I should just give up but that's not the point. Its in beta and I want to try it out. (oh and for the record, I have used Gorre for other testing and it worked fine then).

I am also going to call Mythic, maybe they will be some help. (doubt it but who knows)

that is what i am trying to explain.

when i try the first patch (the one where the ip is the same as ours but /french/ is there instead of /english/) it won't patch thru.

I get an error message

If you have a firewall up, disable it when you try to patch.

I expect you have SI installed and are using the SI folder to patch for Gorre? (you need SI)

your not copying the old Camelot directory from Mythic folder?

thats classic, SI is in a seperate place called Shrouded Isles

I know your probably screaming at me now , but i tried to patch classic and it just dont work, and this is an easy mistake to make

Sorry Nick, was my hostility that apparant? Okay yeah I was pissed off. :D

Thank you for asking, but yes I only copied the SI folder and downloaded Foundations for SI.

I will try and convince the hubby to take down the firewall for a bit to see if that helps, good suggestion.

Will let you know if that works.

UPDATE:
Yes we tried it with the firewall down. That was one of the first things he did.

Oh well back to the drawing board I guess.

Never could resist a damsel in distress :p

P.s even tho the Gold & Glory thingy offers to teleport you to housing zone, make a minstrel regardless, as you will do alot of running around finding a little spot to call home
