CONNECTION: Cannot Connect to server (12002)

[fergusmac]

Hi

I bought Trackmania2 on steam a while back and played it for about fifteen hours without any issue but then I moved house and got a new internet provider and on starting it up I get this error.

I can connect to the main Maniaplanet server but once I try to launch Trackmania it hangs and then gives me this error. I tried everything mentioned in the other threads on here but none of it worked.

Did you have to install new software or new drivers, e.g. for a new cable/DSL modem or router?
12002 is a connection timeout. Either ManiaPlanet is not able to send data, or it doesn't reveive answers.
Please check the firewall of your PC, and of your router.
Which anti-virus and internet security suite software are you using?

Hello, I also am getting this same very error code. TMarc? It could be possible that ferg is on a satellite connection provider. Satellite internet has one heck of a bad ass ping (in a bad way) and i do think being on a satellite provider can give multiple issues.. I extremely recommend NOT to use a satellite connection provider.

yeah, possible, but if you don't have any other choice? E.g. live in the middle of the nature? Then you won't get any wire or fiber...

UPDATE: 3/16/15

Still have the same problem as I did when I had satellite internet. My ping with this server I get around 130ms witch is far better than I did with satellite however it no longer constantly goes "ignored time, ignored time, ignored time" like 20 times in just one match witch is an improvement.

I am no longer using satellite internet or anything such as radio waves. I am connected to DSL (electric through copper) for 300 feet to a DSLAM then converts over to fiber (light through glass). My modem is setup to where I can host my own server and no one complains of any lag or ignored times. I have no firewall up and neither does my friend. Only thing I have is anti malware bytes. The ethernet between me and my modem is no longer than 3 feet long, cable was tested with a tester 5 times, connection never gets cut off. I've done multiple ping tests and download or upload tests and everything looks good.

Today I played with my friend and got banned twice for no reason. Any ideas? If my friend restarts the server, i am then able to rejoin.

I have a much stronger computer then i did last time as well. Now I have a ATX Z97 pc mate by MSI with a 4690K devils canyon and 8GB of corsair vengance RAM. I have installed a fresh new copy of windows 7 64 bit OS.

Did you try to deactivate the P2P in the game launcher and did you check out the network speed in your launcher: http://wiki.maniaplanet.com/en/Configure#Network?
If you deactivate your anti malware, does it work?
