[cerona]

hey all you guys!

im sure youre all bored of this same old question, but i really havent found any answer to it yet so i thought id make a try
ive been able to play the game really well and everything the last few days, but lately i get this error message coming up everytime i try to get on : "The server is undergoing inspections or updates. Please connect to http: //www.silkroadonline.net for more information."

does anyone have an answer to this?!? im getting so pissed off with it, havent been able to play Silkroad for so bloody long now! dunno what to do anymore.. tried everything.....

When I try to start Silkroad Online I always see an error message telling me the server is having an inspection/update:

This can be caused either because joymax server stability, or your connection trying to reach joymax. Several users get this messages sometimes - but rarely, when the servers are very overloaded (in which case not even the web page is accessible).

If you always see this message, anytime during the day, and you have tried to start Silkroad Online several times it might be caused because:

* Your connection is blocking joymax
Which might be happening because:

- You have blocked Silkroad Client in your firewall
- You have blocked joymax web page in your firewall
- You might be using a router and not allowing the port for joymax
- Your ISP might not be able to handle connections to Korea

In this case, the following can be tested, and might solve the problem for some users:

1. Go to C/Windows/system32/drivers/etc
2. Open hosts with notepad
3. Add 222.111.150.111 gwgt1.joymax.com under 127.0.0.1 localhost
4. Save and open Silkroad.
