Re: trying to play 2.5.10 on window client/server, can't connect

figured out my issue, in the GTK2 client, the value in the field labeled servername wasn't localhost. I changed value in the field to localhost, then the client could connect to the server. Another way I could have solved it was to edit the windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file (I think that's whe...

Why do you play Freeciv-web vs Freeciv?

I thought the dev team for freeciv-web might like to know that their work is appreciated. I play Freeciv-web because I can play it in my LazyBoy chair on my ChromeBook. I play Freeciv-web because I can play it on my company provided laptop (that is locked down-can't install Freeciv) while I am trave...

Re: trying to play 2.5.10 on window client/server, can't connect

installed telnet on windows
I could telnet on port 5556 and could tell that it was waiting for a response, in contrast to trying to telnet to port 5557, which said connection denied.

Will repeat with 2.5.11 when available and see what happens
