foxdie Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Delete pbns.dat from your pb folder. If it doesnt help, open C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and add there 192.246.40.62 etguidauth.evenbalance.com and save Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fozzer Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 EvenBalance staff say that the guidauth problem should be fixed now :) if it persists delete pbns.dat from your pb folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfdoh Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I still have problems, even after removing pbns.dat and restarting ET. The problem can be solved with "pb_sv_guidauth 0" for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbuckly Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 The following is a email i got from my server provider. I was having the same trouble connecting, i tried it, and it worked..........i did it a few days ago. Please read the following if you have PunkBuster authorization problems: "Since the new punkbuster release 1.279 many have had and will have problems connecting to ET servers out there with the error message Failed to resolve etguidauth.evenbalance.com in your console. The cause of this is an outdated PBNS.DAT in your pb folder which comes from the previous version and is not automatically updated when you update your Punk Buster with pbweb.exe. If you connect to servers which are running the last PB Update and the client is running an old version, the PBNS.DAT avoids an GUID authentification (awaiting gamestate) because of operating with outdated data for the masterserver. (new: 192.246.40.62 - pbguidauth.idsoftware.com) To Fix This: * 1. Download pbsetup.exe from www.evenbalance.com * 2. Delete or rename the old pb-directory(pb folder where your ET is installed) and create a new one in which you copy the downloaded file. * 3. Start pbsetup.exe, follow the instructions and download a completely new pb-software. * 4. Connect to an updated server, and you will receive a new PBNS.DAT from that server when connected. * 5. Now your PBNS:DAT file should be up to date and you can connect to servers again as normal. Download-Link for pbsetup.exe: Even Balance Website" http://www.etgamer.net/content/view/50/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barn!e Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Downloading the pbsetup is the first part that needs doing the problem is getting a pbns.dat file. Here it is for those still having this problem. It worked for me just download this file to your pb folder and you can then join streaming servers again. http://files.filefront.com/pbnsdat/;8065913;/fileinfo.html Hope this helps.. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wo0 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 - I had to reinstall ET, so i had a "new fresh PB folder" - Since reinstall I experienced the "Failed to resolve etguidauth.evenbalance.com" - I nearly tryed all solutions provided and it seems only 1 work properly. 1) Delete pbns.dat ...ET/pb/ folder. *) Problem is when you connect PB doesn't give a new file ... 2) Download pbns.dat (Link Posted here & above & paste it in the ...ET/pb/ folder. Done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
