What it means

The server may be offline, the port may be wrong, or something between you and it is blocking the connection.

MTA's own client shows a CC code when something fails before or during a connection: the address, the nickname, a module it could not load, or the connection itself. MTA's own documentation gives this code as Connection failed.

How to fix it

Work down the list and stop when it is solved.

1. Try the connection again

   Close MTA, open it again and connect once more. A single failed attempt can come from a restart on the server or a short break in your own connection.

2. Check your own connection

   Open a web page on the same computer. If other things are also failing, fix the connection first. A working website does not prove a game server is reachable, but a broken one explains a lot.

3. Copy the whole message first

   Write down every line MTA shows, not only the code. The rest of the message often names the file, the server or the reason, and that is what tells you which step below applies.

4. Check your log if it keeps happening

   Paste the message, or MTA's core.log, into the Fix tool on this site. It runs on your own computer and points at the matching steps.
