Hi all, my friend and me are just trying to install AA2.5 and on my side 25Assist is working fine, downloading/installing AA but my friend has an issue when starting 25Assist he gets the following message:
Unable to connect to assist server, please check you are connected to the internet and assist is not blocked by firewall

We're both using the same system, Ubuntu 12.04 64Bit, got the same libs installed, same updates, same assist program, etc..

We're both entering the internet from the same router, same ISP and we both don't have a firewall installed. We both have our accounts registered/validated and we can log in into assist, but my friend gets the above error message after logging in while with me it is just working fine.

Please note that my friend actually seems to be online despite the error message because the small green light at the bottom close to his name is on and he can see the amount of servers and players being displayed in the assist program.

I'm really and hope you will be able to help us.

1. you shoud have a firewall
2. do you like to play next to eachother for better advantage ? or why do you have the same wan ip?

thanks.
for me it looks like your router is doing NAT (Network Address Translation) only to one of the two computers you like to play on. what kind of router do you use (name and model-nr.). i guess there should be an option to tell your router to give those requests to both of your computers.

oh. can you connect to the router as admin ? you would see the model there.
maybe he is in another network segment. what is your ip and what is his? can you figure that out?
but i do not have a solution about that, but maybe  ... dont loose hope
