You need to open the ports for the server on your router and on the firewall.

"Can't resolve address" means it can't convert the domain name (e.g. "elsinore.mxsimulator.com") to an IP address (64.85.168.206 for elsinore). It's hard for me to guess why your DNS resolver isn't working.

Hi, i have a problem with "contacting server". My windows and router firewalls are disabled, i wirte the server direction 100% correct, i have opened ports 19800 through 19900 of my router and i've tried pretty much everything i know and read on the forums but i still get the contacting server thing everytime i try to connect to a server. I have the latest snapshot of the game. Please, help.

I didn't see your IP address in the elsinore.mxsimulator.com:19800 server's log, so assuming you tried to connect there your outgoing packets are getting blocked. Virus blockers will block ports so you might want to try temporarily disabling your virus blocker to see if that's stopping you.

i don't have an antivirus either, still not working, i don't understand why is not working. A week ago was working fine and i didn't change anything before it started going badly. Plus, i can play other games with no problems. Any more suggestions?
Thanks anyways.

If the ports are open and the address is correct it should work. I guess you could try a tracert to the server you're trying to contact.
