Client not connecting to Local Server

Question

I have the most recent server from https://github.com/HerculesWS/Hercules. I downloaded the client from http://hercules.endlessro.net/ (2013-12-23). I've set up the server according to this guide here: http://herc.ws/board/topic/968-guide-how-to-setup-hercules/, and the client I've been told need only be updated via the correct -lite.exe files (which I've done).

 

The server runs fine. From an administrator command prompt I navigate to the directory and run the run-server.bat file. Three windows pop up. None of them say any bad things about anything.

 

I try running the client (YourRO.exe) from the directory and... nothing. It sits there for about 5-10 seconds and I get the message "Failed to Connect to Server".

 

I hate asking for help but there's nothing left that I can do.

 

Please help me, Obi-Wan. You're my only hope...


Edit: and THIS is why I HATE asking for help.

 

It was my ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE. SOMEHOW my AV SOFTWARE was BLOCKING THE FREAKING CONNECTION BETWEEN THE CLIENT AND THE SERVER.

So if anyone has ever tried EVERYTHING to get it right and happens to still be failing miserably, the answer is thus: Shut off your Antivirus.

 

For anyone who is curious it was AVG Free 2014.

It was the client. I was using a version outside the YourRO that comes packaged and that was causing the issue.

 

 

if you mean 2013-12-23 client from ossi's package (under "Tool" folder), that client is not patched yet.
