Lennart Vedin Posted January 20, 2005 at 10:48 PM Posted January 20, 2005 at 10:48 PM Strange. ServInfo should be easy just internet-connection, no worry about firewall or anything. Suggest: - Remove your seperate network card. - Download again ServInfo in a new folder. http://www.avsim.com/hangar/utils/servinfo - Run the new ServInfo and try all connections Vatsim, IVAO and EUROBOOK. / Lennart Vedin / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bolton 921285 Posted January 28, 2005 at 11:35 AM Posted January 28, 2005 at 11:35 AM I'm also having problems with servinfo. Works fine on my computer at work but my computer at home can't connect to the servers. I put it down to the fact that my work computer doesn't have service pack 2 installed, but then I would of thought many more people would also be having this problem. I know service pack 2 disables the use of raw packets so if Servinfo use this then it would no longer function. Cheers edit: well its not sp2 thats the problem anyway.. just tested it oin another computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bolton 921285 Posted January 28, 2005 at 08:09 PM Posted January 28, 2005 at 08:09 PM Fixed: From the author... This could be problem that has been reported to me by some other users and is caused by a virus infection (a trojan type). Check this: Search for a system file named "protocol" (NOT protocol.ini, just protocol with NO EXTENSION - if you have set windows explorer to hide known extensions you might confuse these two files). It is located at the "C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc" directory for WinXP. If you find that this file is missing from this directory then you are probably not infected but that's causing the problem to ServInfo - I will send you this file. If the file is there then check that the above location has not been altered in the windows registry (that's one of the things this virous would do). To do this open the registry editor: Start -> Run -> REGEDIT navigate (or seach) to this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters (could also instead of "CurrentControlSet" be two keys with ControlSet001 and ControlSet002, or something similar) and see if the value is : "DataBasePath"="%SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc" If it is instead anything else (e.g "DataBasePath"="%SystemRoot%\help") then you have been infected from this virus. Restoring this entry to the correct value will make ServInfo work again. However, you should use your antivirus software to check for the infection. A long time ago I have found these links for a virus that does this thing: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/trojan.qhosts.html http://us.mcafee.com/virusInfo/default.asp?id=description&virus_k=100719 but there might be other viruses that could do the same.
