Error 41780 from China [Archive] - EQ2 Forum Archive @ EQ2Wire

I'm in China and I have the 41780 error.I bought a copy of EQ2 All-in-One pack to play EQ2 with a buddy of mine. It got all downloaded and ready to go and I made a character. But when trying to actually log into a server I get the dreaded 41780 error.That, I've seen, has happened to a lot of people trying to play from China and I can understand that. Something to do with blocked ports and banned IPs. But then, just out of curiousity, I logged in using a buddy of mine who plays from Australia's account and I can log in fine. Absolutely no problem whatsoever.So the only thing I can think of is that SOE has put bans on connections from account created in China? Is that the case?Velvantis

I remember seeing a post that SOE doesn't block IP addresses.. Perhaps sending a PM to the <a href="../user/profile.m?user_id=318907">TSR-DanielH</a> might help <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Are you using a VPN? Our system will not let VPN connections through because of the sheer amount of spam and fraud we receive from those sources. We do not block areas/countries but VPNs are restricted.

I have the same problem, how can I fix this?

Are you using a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_private_network" target="_blank">VPN</a> as already mentioned? If you are, then you will have to find another way to connect <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

How do I know if I am using a VNP? I plug directly to the wall jack.

You do have some form of hardware router in between your computer and the internet. You machines ip address is in the 192 series which is not broadcast on the internet. This router can be the cause of your issue, do you have access to it? If so can you post some information about it please

Ahhh... Ok, now we have something here... lolYou should speak to your IT admin (person in charge of it for the school) and see if they can open the necessary ports for you to play. Hopefully they can help you out...Maybe this can help you out.... Good luck!EverQuest II LaunchPad and Patch Servers A TCP connection is initiated to patch.station.sony.com at port 7000. A UDP connection is initiated to port range 3016-3021 and 9700-9703. EverQuest II Patch: A TCP connection is initiated at port 7010. EverQuest II Game Client: UDP connections are initiated from the EverQuest II client on UDP ports 9100, and UDP ports in the range 32800-33000. Additionally, ICMP messages type 0 (echo reply), 3 (unreachable), 8 (echo request) and 11 (expired) should be permitted bi-directionally between the client PC and the EverQuest II servers. EverQuest II Servers Subnets: There are multiple IP addresses for the Patch and LaunchPad clusters, and they may change as the network demands, so check often using a DNS lookup tool if you provide a specific firewall rule for these services.

Probably had the answer in the post and I missed seeing it, but just the same...Does a VPN include a phone line DSL modem in China? I get the same error message, yet I am able to play another mmorpg with no connection trouble at all.

This is crazy .... I am having the same problem also and I also live in China and am using Vista SP1. I am plugged directly into my DSL. I have spoken with SOE support and they told me to contact Microsoft ... I think it's worth mentioning that I currently have Vanguard, Star Wars Galaxies, and The Matrix installed and running fine on my computer. So what's the problem with EQ2? Someone at sony shouyld be able to do something about the "Error 41780" problem I would think. Please help ASAP. My free 30 days won't be worth anything if this problem isn't resolved soon.

A VPN wont be caused by your modem or your operating system. That is all handled by your ISP, assuming you aren't using your own VPN through their connection. Connecting through a VPN will almost always cause that error and the only solution I'm aware of is to not use one. I'm not sure what that would entail, or if it's even possible in your current situation, but it's all I can suggest.

I think this is note worthy ....I have 2 station accounts.I CAN'T LOG INTO AN ACCOUNT CREATED THIS YEAR!BUT!I CAN LOG INTO MY ACCOUNT CREATED IN 2005!So what does this mean?How come I can log into an old SOE account in China but not a new one?Surely someone at SOE can answer this question?

That error generally wont be caused by the account, but by the connection method. Are you sure it isn't some error message with that account?

Actually,I got the same problem here.My friend just sent a invite to play EQ2 w/ him.And when I try to login the game,get the error 41780.And I called my friend and ask him to try to login into the game,he got he same message.He can login into the game w/ his account without any trouble.So,the only difference between us is his account was created around 2005,and I just get subscription today.It's not about the network or pc settings or what ever.Obviously,those account created after (2007?2008?I dont know) cant login into the game in China.BTW,one of my friend just arrived China and work here,he find the account he created in England which has a lvl 80 mystic in it was also got the error 41780 message here.So,it's just proves my opinion.WE ARE BANED IN CHINA.

Greetings,Like stated before by TSR Dan H we do not ban IP's or countries. We have customers who are logged in from all over the world, China included. If you are receiving this error we have found it to be a VPN issue, also previously stated by Dan H.

I am stationed in China too and downloaded the TSO all-in-one pack a week ago. When I tried to logged on the game, I got this error too. I have called up the ISP provider and they HAVE confirmed that they are NOT using any VPN. Therefore, it should not be a connection problem.I tried logging on again today and to my suprise, I was able to logged on and lvled a char to 7 with no problems at all!!!!!! I tried logging on again a few hours later and I got this error again!!!!!!!. This again proves that it not a connection problem. I had played Vanguard and POTBS with no problem at all.I have attached my tracet report below.Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : calvin Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Unknown IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : NoEthernet adapter Hamachi: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Hamachi Network Interface Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 7A-79-05-6B-EA-68 Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : No IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 5.107.234.104 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.0.0.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 5.0.0.1 Lease Obtained. . . . . . . . . . : Saturday, June 06, 2009 4:51:58 PM Lease Expires . . . . . . . . . . : Sunday, June 06, 2010 4:51:58 PMEthernet adapter Local Area Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-18-F3-0F-3B-B2 Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration IP Address. . . : 169.254.25.148 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : PPP adapter China Mobile: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : WAN (PPP/SLIP) Interface Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-53-45-00-00-00 Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 58.210.106.212 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.255 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 58.210.106.212 DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 61.177.7.1 221.228.255.1 NetBIOS over Tcpip. . . . . . . . : DisabledTracing route to sdkeq2-11-01.everquest2.com [199.108.13.129]over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 12 ms 12 ms 13 ms 222.92.229.138 2 12 ms 12 ms 13 ms 222.92.233.209 3 12 ms 13 ms 13 ms 222.92.175.66 4 16 ms 17 ms 20 ms 202.97.39.141 5 15 ms 15 ms 16 ms 202.97.33.10 6 197 ms 196 ms 198 ms 202.97.51.194 7 195 ms 194 ms 196 ms te-8-1.car4.SanJose1.Level3.net [4.71.114.101] 8 199 ms 200 ms 200 ms ge-1-3-0-89.bbr1.SanJose1.Level3.net [4.68.18.129] 9 347 ms * 241 ms as-1-0.mp1.SanDiego1.Level3.net [64.159.1.29] 10 211 ms 205 ms 211 ms so-8-0.hsa1.SanDiego1.Level3.net [4.68.112.130] 11 187 ms 187 ms 186 ms vl861.sdtermswitch-1.sonyonline.net [63.215.251.130] 12 213 ms 215 ms 214 ms vl831.sdkollsw-1.sonyonline.net [64.37.144.82] 13 207 ms 205 ms 207 ms sdkeq2-11-01.everquest2.com [199.108.13.129] Trace complete.Tracing route to sdkeq2-11-01.everquest2.com [199.108.13.129]over a maximum of 30 hops: 0 calvin [58.210.106.212] 1 222.92.229.138 2 222.92.233.209 3 222.92.175.66 4 202.97.39.141 5 202.97.33.10 6 202.97.51.194 7 * te-8-1.car4.SanJose1.Level3.net [4.71.114.101] 8 ge-1-3-0-89.bbr1.SanJose1.Level3.net [4.68.18.129] 9 as-1-0.mp1.SanDiego1.Level3.net [64.159.1.29] 10 so-10-0.hsa1.SanDiego1.Level3.net [4.68.113.38] 11 * vl861.sdtermswitch-1.sonyonline.net [63.215.251.130] 12 vl831.sdkollsw-1.sonyonline.net [64.37.144.82] 13 sdkeq2-11-01.everquest2.com [199.108.13.129] Computing statistics for 325 seconds...

Source from Chinese fun site,Accounts registered in American server after September 2007 cannot log in from China.This is discrimination. After the first 14-day trail, you charge a monthly fee. What harm will be brought to SOE?Please clarify.

Update:It seems most IPs from China are blocked, but some are not.A Chinese player can finally play after changed IP more than 10 times.I'm not that serious about a game to change my ISP provider.

Most, if not all blakclisting of IP's is done at the top level, not at a specific level - just a thought

I just downloaded a trial version of EQ2 - and i have been having the same problems as everyone else in this forum. I used to play EQ for 2 yrs then i switched to DAOC and WOW - i just wanted to try this out -- but this error popping up makes it all so much more hassle - i'm afraid this will continue to happen if something is not done - the end result will be people who want to try and play this game (let alone those who paid for it) wont be able to and will be pushed to play other games which dont have this problem (WOW). I'm sorry to say this whole issue is just so irritating that I'm just abt ready to delete this whole installation and give up. Please, for the last time - give some advice or direct instructions how this error can be resolved. P.S i am not running on a VPN. Thank you.

Is there any reason as to why SOE Customer Service hasn't given us an answer yet?It's quite obvious this is not a VPN issue.I've sent in several petitions about this which have all either been ignored or written off as something that was 'my fault'.Poor effort SOE.

More specifically, accounts created in and after late 2007 cannot log in to the servers and will receive the "41780 Error". Many fun sites from China have confirmed this and the problem has been reported to SOE. So far, after the issue occured almost 2 years, SOE hasn't effectively answered the questions, but insists that it was the players' firewall or ISP's problems. Most players found this answer unacceptable, because if it is firewall or ISP issue, accounts created before 2007 will not be able to logged in either." <a name="References"></a> <a name="External_links"></a> <div> </div>

Has this issue been resolved?I am now having the same problem playing EverQuest II Extended in China.I created an account couple weeks ago, been playing since without any problem, the ISP is China Telecom (in Shenzhen). When I stay at another house using ISP Topway (also in Shenzhen), I got the 41780 Error.Any idea anyone? Or could SOE help?

China Telecom is ADSL connection, while Topway is Cable connection.

Or how can I tell such?
