Custom Sounds do not work anymore... by riahc4 on 04-15-2005 at 10:04 PM
Very strange. Updated to 3.52 and sounds cant be sent anymore. I get a error contacting the server all day and all the time with all contacts. I can however recieve sounds. Any ideas?

The sound server seems fine now.

Whenever you want to check where the error is, check http://sounds.msgplus.net -- It'll give server status, if it's up, it's your firewall.

All I can suggest to you is pretty much what has already been suggested.
You can also try pinging the sounds server, or performing a trace route.
Start -> Run -> "cmd" -> OK.
ping sounds.msgplus.net <enter>
OR
tracert sounds.msgplus.net <enter>
If the requests time out then it is some sort of routing or access issue. With the trace route you can find exactly where the problem lies on your connection.
If you can contact the server fine via a ping/http/trace route then I'd suggest checking your firewall settings and even disable them to try again. As you say, you've just updated to a newer version of Plus!. Most firewalls differentiate between different versions of the same program (such as when the executable is modified) and will then ignore any existing rules for the program and either block it out or prompt you to create new rules.

It does say on the Sounds page that the "stats will be back up shortly" so you'll have to wait

It is up and running now. Sorry folks. I'm only one man responding as fast as I can when the servers catch fire here.

Wheres the HOSTS file again..........I forgot..
RE: Custom Sounds do not work anymore... by RaceProUK on 04-19-2005 at 09:32 PM
Somewhere in the Windows folder. If you do a Search in that folder for 'hosts' that should find it.
RE: Custom Sounds do not work anymore... by riahc4 on 04-21-2005 at 08:33 PM
Alright finally. thanks raceprouk. I took off sounds.msgplus.net of my HOSTS file and it worked. Now i can send files again
