Thanks for the response, but the severity of this issue, and the fact that it is so widespread is a really bad indicator for me. The fact that it is still, after all this time, an issue without fix, just makes me think moving on to another...

thanks for the reply...it worked on one char, not on my main....only cause..she has a full inventory, and I cannot see anything in order to move it, remove anything, etc etc...Im shocked this hasnt been fixed....but thanks for your help.

Im having the exact same issue right now. Any help would be appreciated.

The Ascended. I'm glad to be home. saraie

Id like to get a buddy key for a friend of mine, if anyone could help Id appreciate it, either email me at [email protected] or PM it to me perhaps? Ill keep checking back. Thanks in advance for your help. Mennis

Wonder if a forum mod can just squash this forum account and let me recreate a new one?

I created this forum acct before i could actually get into the game to play, and now that im playing Id like to participate in the forums, using my chars name as my handle. Is there a way to reset this? I looked in the knowledge base, and...

Greetings friends... Time for an update..after all this time i finally got to somone at my ISP that knew what they were doing. My isp, contracts DSL through sprint...and they run a firewall...my ISP had the ports blocked. Im able to finall...

unfortunately, no, I can connect dial-up though... I tried the netstat thing, and it shows the ports opened for the patcher. Somone mentioned a proxy? That a real pain in the butt? or something I can do? If the ports are blocked at the ISP...

nope...didnt work, reinstalled windows....still cannot connect to the game, get the same "cannot reonnect to the margin server" error. and im cresting the boundries of my patience.

PS if this dont work ill post sys info n get with Shoma again too oh and as a side note... http://mxoboards.station.sony.com/matrix/board/message?board.id=techsupport&message.id=1831#M1831 I have Sprint DSL...ut oh Message Edited by mennis...

installed Avast as suggested, found 8 trojans that McAfees didnt find...nor stop...cleaned system, tried again...still no Matrix... thinking...oky maybe still corrupt files...ok...BANG...rebanging windows...clean install, almost done now.....

Im downloading AIM right now, will also grab these others you suggested, hopefully you are on now. WOuld love a hand with this. Thanks Mennis/Saraie

sony blames the isp, the isp blames sony...and i guess i dont get to play matrix, unless i use dial up, or switch to another isp, and switching isp's wont guarantee me anything either apparently. well...(sigh) dissapointing

well...that didnt work. My ISP opened up everything for me....and i get the same error message. Any suggestions before I cancel? Really hate to, really wanted to play Matrix again, but they did everything they could over the last 2 hours w...

My Isp gave me a static IP, and opened those ports, it still doesnt work. They said theyll open em all for me, and we can trace what ports the game needs opened, they are in process of doing that now. Guess we'll see.

It is essentially Sprint DSL, in Pennsylvania. I actually pay an independant, but the DSL is sprint.

So, if my ISP is blocking any of those ports, theres no way I can bypass that? Saraie

Well its only supposed to be another 5 bucks a month or something. But at this point its my only real alternative, if for nothing else my email addys been the wsame for 4 years, and Id hate to have to change it. Seeing as this is only an i...

Spoke with my ISP, and they apparently block 10000 and 11000, they said they are not common gaming ports, however, if i move to a static IP they can open those ports. (for an additional fee of course). Im curious though, why I could play t...

Thanks for your response: Im not really sure how to go about doing that...forwarding 10000-11000? I dont know what the base host port is? In my modem config: If I choose port forwarding, Im asked for a global port range ____-_____ and a ba...

i guess this is a port forwarding issue; (im able to switch to dial up and log in fine, so its my DSL modem i believe thats keeping me from getting in on DSL) The documentation, and sony say i need to have open TCP ports 80 10000 11000 and...

(im able to switch to dial up and log in fine, so its my DSL modem i believe thats keeping me from getting in on DSL) The documentation, and sony say i need to have open TCP ports 80 10000 11000 and UDP 11000. (they said the patcher is UDP...

Anyone avail to help? Its monday....

Checked windows update. Updates to SP2, adjusted permissions in firewall...still get same error. ...Another email sent to Sony. Kindly find their reply listed here:"..." ((sighs))

well i undated and installed windows SP2 and was able to get the Windows FIrewall Exceotions set for Matrix, yet still, im able to log in to char select, select a char and begin to log into the game then I get: "login error, failed to reco...

please help: There is no "windows firewall" in my control panel. The firewall is active, i can go to network connections, choose my connection, properties and advanced tab to see that it is operational, but theres no area in control panel...

Thought of something....Is there a free trial of this game or something? If I could log into an account i knew was good...i would know it wasnt my comp. Matrix have a free trial or something?

I could hazard a guess here, mind you its purely conjecture... when you do the switch over, if you already had an existing station account, you are able to sign in on Sonys auth server, (log in screen) but when we try to access the game, t...

I am having, essentially the same issue as you...have also posted in the forums, read all the knowledge base material, etc etc etc...donno whats happening. Saraie

Yes, it was an old lith account, that had been cancelled. I used my existing SOE account to create a pass, then added my old account to this one. I am able to log into the char select area, patch and all that. I can go to server select and...

2:18 pm...patch completed... try to log in...same problem. I get CONNREFUSED error, when trying a new char. and I get the login error: Failed to recoonect to the margin server, when i try an existing char. Ive disabled all firewalls, remov...

sigh....reinstalled. Patch started: 12:15pm eastern. this'll be fun....

no help? anyone? I really dont want to reinstall, seeing as the patch literally took HOURS, and then just to find that I get the error afterwards would totally ruin my day. Ive read every post I can find, searched everywhere I could look.....
