BERcon: couldn`t connect to server

[cr_meth]

i have got a problem connecting with the bercon.exe to our new epoch 1.0.3.1 server.
we do have another epoch 1.0.3 server running on the same machine(strato server) and the bercon is working with it.
both use battleye extendended controls (bec), they have different ports and one is able join them.

until now i couldnt find anything in the forums about a similar problem.

 

 

the new epoch 1.0.3.1(vanilla) server seems to be working, except for the bercon issue.

bec is connecting and the beserver.cfg and config files are in place.

the schedular.xml is running too.
battleye is up to date.

bercon.exe:
couldn`t connect to server

 

bec error log:
Error with encoding in queued data list!

bec guide: http://www.ibattle.org/install-and-configure
i followed their instruction and double checked everything i could.


did anyone experience issues like this and how would you try to solve these?
 

[cen]

copy/paste the bec.exe and rename it bec2.exe (or whatever you want) then launch it.

ok, i did as you told me to. everything starts up (bec and server console).

bec messege: RCon admin #0 logged in (as usual)

but i still wont be able to connect with the bercon.exe from my machine.

bercon messege: cant connect with server

 

epoch 1.0.3 server(port 2302): accessable with bercon

new epoch 1.0.3.1 server(port 2330): not accessable with bercon

 

[cen]

did you set the password in your be config? and you're using that password right?

[cr_meth]

yes, it should be the right pw.
E:\EPOCH_SERVER\instance_11_Chernarus\BattlEye\beserver.cfg
bec seems to be using it, cause it can connect.
its the same pw for our other server. (the servers exist in different directories with separate bec`s)
the content of the beserver.cfg has been copied.

i just tried to connect with bercon.exe from the host location, i used the exact same data.

host/ip > port > pw: admin rcon 1# logged in. so it does work.
but it wont work from my machine.

it appears as if something is wrong with the ports, either on my or at the host side.

[cen]

Have you tried a different RCON client? EPM/DaRT/Battle Warden?

[cr_meth]

i have tried all three of them. they are connecting to the old server but not to the new one.

it comes up with the same messege: couldn`t connect to server.
 

i did set up a new beserver.cfg with a different pw, but it doesn`t make a difference.
 

[cr_meth]

thx for the efforts.

i have just managed to connect.
its been an firewall issue. i had to give the server and bec certain permissions.
my antecessor had done this for the previous server. and since i did all set up according to the tutorials without any experience,
i didn`t know i had to do so.

server firewall:
create new rules
bec.exe, tcp/udp
server.exe, tcp/udp

[cen]

Glad you got it sorted out!

[critter]

i am having the same problem bercon wont connect to my server my firewall is off i did set up the password in beserver.cfg  i have tried  127.0.0.1 my lan ip and my public ip goggled for the last two days can any one offer any advise
