VALVe announced today that they have found the issue with players falsly getting "CD Key in Use" messages which will result in an IP change of one of the WON servers. Here's what they had to say:


We've found the source of the "CD Key in Use" problem some clients have been experiencing over the last few weeks.

To fix the problem we need to change the IP address for the server at "half-life.west.won.net". At 11:00pm PDT tonight (Thursday, October 3, 2002) the IP address for this server will be changed to "198.74.33.62". It could take up to 48 hours for the DNS to resolve to this address, depending on who your Internet provider is.

You don't need to do anything unless you've edited your valve\woncomm.lst file and manually entered the IP addresses for the various servers. You shouldn't ever need to edit your woncomm.lst file, but if you have please note this change.






Med detta menas att won byter server som kollar spelarnas wonid. Därmed byte av ipnummer. När man pekar om ett hostname kan det ta länge innan alla dns-servers(name servers) uppdateras (Upp till 48h ELLER mer. telia är inte dom snabbaste).

Hur löst vi detta om vi vill spela fast vi har problem? jo ni ändrar i filen Hl-cstrike-dir\valve\woncomm.lst och byter ipnummer på half-life.west.won.net till 198.74.33.62 eller så ändrar ni dns-server från tex telia till en snabbare. tex 213.88.151.1, 213.88.151.2

Are one WON server going down for 48h?
Does that mean that it could take longer time to get WON authenticated during the servers downtime?

Or are we players not going to notice anything at all?

Nä, dom byter IP adressen som är definierad för det namnet, hl-west etc... men du frågar inte den direkta källan utan din DNS server hos normalt din ISP (telia chello bostream) och dom uppdaterar olika ofta, alltså, kollar av med andra DNSer vem som heter vad och har vilken adress...

Därav har du otur och har en som inte uppdaterar speciellt ofta kan det ta tid...
