MVP wont work with old computer - anymore - error log attached

[mattrobo]

SOLVED


Hi,

I was hoping someone might point me in the right direction as I have had to go back to an old computer Pentium 4 1.8 - about 4 years old. PVRX2 will not run on it for display purposes due to the VMR9 issue which I have not looked at fixing yet - it is in the running processes so I guess the server is working regardless of the VMR9 issue (too many variables!)

Also the MVP will not find the computer/server. It will for all other machines on my network. It is not a firewall issue (i have got all the others to work with the same firewall/router) as the logs seem to contain the error but there is not enough in them to tell me where to look.

The core of the error is

I have attached the logs anyway.

Can someone tell me why this old machine with built in graphic card will not work anymore (it used to a few years ago) but I have done 10 fresh installs... kept the db3 and xml files (sometimes)

Thanks

Can you set the logging level back to 'debug' then reproduce the problem and repost the logs?

[mattrobo]

Sorry Sub. I did have it set like that at first but could not remember what you needed. So here they are...something is not happy in the logs

Can you zip and attach your gbpvr.mdb file? I think its damaged.

Its probably time you switch to the SQLite database anyway (gbpvr.db3). This has been the default database for the last 18 months or so now, and the only database each release is tested against.

[mattrobo]

Sorry Sub, I am not using that DB. That happened because those sets of logs came from an upgrade of a very old version. One of my 1000 attempts to get it to work.

The reason I changed the log mode is the totally 100% fresh install (which still has the same problem) does not work and the logs looked clean to me.

So here we are from the start - 100% clean install after removing all files and "add remove programs". I hope that is clean.

I also removed the firewall settings in Windows and added them again incase it does a check sum. And diasabled the firewall.

Sorrry to have wasted your time but this is what I should have posted in the first place.

Looking at the logs, it really looks like a firewall is blocking requests to the server. It does receive the UDP locator packets from the MVP, but never receives the expected two incoming TCP connections.

Thanks sub.. this is an old machine and has been a test machine. I used the Tor Network on it once..but now you have got me thinking.. I will look into it and post back a conclusion.

Thanks for your help

As promised here is a summary for those of you who ended up reading this.

I did a repair on the XP installation - did not help.
I re installed my Tiny firewall - did not help.
I did a wireless connection to the router instead of wired - did not help.
I tried another firewall and virus check - did not work.

Tried a few other things. They did not work.

This machine used to work but has been used for installing rubbish from CDs from Mags etc......

What worked was ANOTHER install of XP on the same HD! Case closed.
