What's your friend code? When did you try to login/find players, exactly?

Some information will make it easier to go through the log files to search for the cause.

What game?

The friend codes he posted are for Mario Kart Wii.

I know, it's still very annoying seeing people post random incomplete topics expecting everyone to know what they talk about.

YEAH BOOM we broke the server again! Getting nothing but connection errors (nothing Wiimmmfi related) this is on my Wii U which I just hacked today and seems Im not having great luck with finding CTWW players (getting error like 20100, 86420, 85020 - or something like that and finally 61070 - associated with my ban system on my server when a profile is DISABLED or the login server is sucking)

I'll just let everything calm down for the time being

Your forget to tell us, that you were banned multiple times. Support cancelled here.

Which server is broken?

No server is broken anymore. But MASTER was broken yesterday.

Sorry, but we cant trust cheaters

RIP Dhillon521.
You won't be missed.

You cheated and lied when asking for help, so blame yourself!

Try to host your own server for mkw! Imagine, then came a hacker and you cant play normal. Whe dont forgive that!

Ive actually hosted my own server with a rather decent ban system (stronger than Wiimm's as a matter of fact) but there are complications as mentioned in another thread opened by me

No, you didn't. And if you did, the system wasn't viable for a public server.

Try setting up a ban system that...
- really only bans a specific player and not multiple (innocent) players without using the IP address as these are often dynamic or can be hidden/changed
--> which means banning IPs could ban an innocent player or isn't effective
- deals with hundreds of cheaters of which many really challenge to break through your ban system
- kicks player immediately
- deals with MAC changers and even more identifier changers trying to circumvent the ban system

I've seen your topic and I know your system was actually pretty basic, banning a set of identifiers. Too bad that would result in banning lots of players at once, also you sure missed some identifiers... not to forget it could be easily circumvented by changing these identifiers.

I respect your work, I really do, but don't make yourself seem smarter than you are - or the other way round, make Wiimm and Leseratte seem stupid. Otherwise feel free to let them know of improvements

I wasn't intending to "show off" or say that I'm "smarter than everyone else" I even had to have help with programming the ban system (someone I know is well versed in python and SQLITE statements) I realize its not a viable option, but userID is something that can't exactly be changed very easily (I've tried everything I can think of and can't un-ban myself from my server) so it's a start at least. As for kicking people off the server, I haven't exactly figured that part out yet, let alone I'm not even sure how Wiimm does it. If I REALLY wanted to kick a hacker off the server I'd just restart it therefore kicking everyone off.



Now onto another note:

Error code 86420 seems to be quite popular lately especially for me and many others I know, and perhaps this bit will help anyone else who's been experiencing programs finding people on Wiimmfi (or any other server for that matter since it's all universal)

Error code 86420 simply means that person A can't connect to person B therefore both person A and person B must allow traffic on both ends of the connection. This is referred to as setting the DMZ on your router to the IP of your CONSOLE (I suggest setting a DHCP reserve for it) and once that's all set, no more 86420. I've only experienced this issue since yesterday (it could also be my server making complications) and the fix mentioned above has worked for me

@BeanJr:
It's been a while this 86420 error is famous and others error codes like 11688/11669 for MHTri and so on for the others none-Nintendo servers are raised for the same reason. To get rid of it efficiently the (two) users in conflict should port forward their router/box, according to the ports used by the Nintendo Servers and/or the others servers the game connect to. Nintendo and Capcom also advised to enable UPnP, and use the DMZ if the user can't port forward their ports.
