It's likely your network and/or proxy are blocking traffic on nonstandard ports. You'll get this particular behavior if you can communicate over port 80 but not port 4060.Originally Posted by Iron Hand
uhhh... okay any way for me to fix on computer???? not computer literate as most... but understand some stuff
I have got this countless times, and has been so annoying. Isn't it because the server is full. Samhayne was online when I couldn't connect, so maybe that is why

The servers are never 'full' - we normally operate with far more capacity than we see at peak usage times.
What he is saying is that you usually have something blocking the port, like a firewall or security program running.
You need to either close it down (I never run that virus junk on my pc) or find out how to enable port 4060 so SL can connect to the interwebs via chrome.

okay i shut down all firewalls virus programs and still it is being blocked... grrrr.. okay i have windows seven someone tell me in laymen's terms what i need to do... obviously i do not know what to look for.
Windows 7 firewall has a sneaky habit of reasserting itself. Try this:
1. Click on Start
2. Click on Control Panel
3. Under the heading "Security" click on "Allow a program thru Windows Firewall" If it's not visible on the Control Panel window, click "Security" and you'll find it listed there
4. Click on the "Exceptions" tab
5. Click on "Change Settings"
6. Click on "Add a Port"
7. Type in a name that'll help you remember what the exception is for like, "SL Port"
8. Type 4060 into the box labeled "Port Number"
9. Make sure the "TCP" button is checked
10. Click "OK"
You may or may not have to restart after that. Windows is pretty weird about that sort of thing and I don't know off the top of my head.

nope that is for vista i have windows7 .... just turned off all firewalls and in allow program thru windows firewall section i do not have the option to add a port. ( the steps 4 thru 9 you listed canonicalkoi are not available to me even in admin mode so there has to be something else to add port) grrr... just totaly frustrated now... ready to give up as it still will not let me on and i have done all i can think of..... any other suggestions????? for now i guess i just have o play from my phone.

My apologies for not clarifying which version of 7 you were running. I am a bonehead and apparently not all versions give access to "Add Ports".There is a work-around.
Do the Start-->Control Panel-->Sysetm and Security thing again.
Click on Windows Firewall.
Click on "Advanced Settings" (over on the left-side).
On the left side of the page in the frame, click on "Inbound Rules", then go over to the right-side of the page there under "Actions", click on "New Rule" in the right-hand frame.
Sadly, this will open a Windows Wizard, but there's no help for that.There under "What type of rule would you like to create?", you want to click on "Port" and click next.
Make sure the radio button next to TCP is checked.
In the box marked "Specific Local Ports", type 4060 and hit next.
Choose "Allow Connection" and hit next.
Choose the network type(s) you want under "When does this profile apply" and hit next
Type in whatever you want to call the rule in the box marked "Name" and you can put a longer description if you like in the box cleverly marked "Description" and hit Finish.
As I fling myself on your mercy, my only defense is that I rarely touch the Windows 7 box. it mainly sits in the corner, surrounded by a long rope made of garlic.

I don't know if I'll have time to get on it tonight, but I'll try playing around with the 7 box tomorrow and see if I can get it to work. Sorry that it's being a pain, Iron.

I use windows 7 and it works fine. Do you have a router?
yes have netgear ng+ router off satellite modem.... i set all to allow for star legends still will not connect loads up just will not connect to server. :frustrated:
It will always load up fine (provided graphics card, updates and everything is in order)
This is becasue the game starts up and downloads on port 80. this port is your computers connection to the world on the internet, all web browsing, downloads etc go through port 80.
Other programs like messengers, games, torrent clients etc will use ports 1 - 55000.
Software you have to protect your PC will get in the way of those ports. The biggest and most annoying program in the world is Norton Anti Virus. If your new to computers and you have this on your computer you may as well kill yourself now.
For everyone else, its probably a firewall of some kind, or system manager like system mechanic or windows firewall that is "protecting" your computer by blocking Star Legends. And, even when you close it if you Ctrl-Alt+del or run task manager you will still see it there.... protecting you..
Step 1. If you have read everything else and got to hear and nothing works, is to find out what program is blocking your ports and Google search "How to stop ****** from running at start up." or if your a kid, just ask your dad to fix it and you'll get him a beer from the fridge!
