+login-error: couldn't connect to server

[Catscratch]

Hey there,

I would like to play MP , but although my acc is registered I can't login. When I hit the login button, "error: couldn't connect to server." is displayed.

There is no active firewall. Even the search function in this forums didn't show any solution. I have the newest version of TB installed. SP works fine.

Has someone an idea what I could do?

What operating system are you using?

Also could you post your stderr.txt in here (its located in your toribash directory).

I got Windows XP, that shouldn't make any problems?

stderr.txt :

Fluid blood supported (level 4 of 4)
Ambient Occlusion + Bumpmapping supported (level 12 of 12)
Buffer 0 is dimensions 240 135
Buffer 1 is dimensions 2048 2048
Unable to retrieve login information
Unable to retrieve login information
Unable to log in. Curl error: 7 couldn't connect to server
Unable to log in. Curl error: 7 couldn't connect to server

I don't know what to do about this. I registered at this site and typed in my correct name and pw. Do I have to do some confirmation via email? Didn't get one.

Try to delete the tb_login.dat file in your Toribash Folder, then open Toribash, type your login and password.

I didn't find a tb_login.dat is it supposed to be in any subfolder or hidden?

what I found is an interesting information in tb_run.log:

24-09-2009 19:22:06 curl error 7 'http://content.toribash.com/cp/ver_updates.php?1253812925' 'ver_updates.txt'
24-09-2009 19:22:06 Unable to download version update from content.toribash.com

Maybe this can help you solving my problem? Thank you very much for the effort so far.

Try going to setup/login and typing in your login information again.

If it wont work then get an older version, log in with it and copy the tb_login.dat from the old folder to the 3.8 folder.

finally it's solved!

there was some version of zonealarm on my pc which was installed like years ago by my bro and never quite removed. since I got that machine back from him and he didn't tell me about this, it kinda ruined my connection.
Thanks anyway for your help!
