My laptop can't run Minecraft, so I don't think it can run Terraria.
my laptop can run terraria just fine, it's an early 2000  model. Can't run Minecraft, though.

I'm just waiting to mess up your day. Honest.

Try it anyways. We aren't testing how well it plays but if it can connect.

I have my Window's firewall disabled;

Here's a secret that not everyone knows.

When you disable windows firewall, you don't disable it, you just disable the ability to modify your ports/interface with the firewall.

Example - If you had Port 80 closed when you turned the firewall off, Port 80 will be closed until you open it somehow.
That's why it's always a bad idea to disable your packed-in firewall (generally.)

Your computer will always prompt you for exceptions and the like, but unless you get that fancy pop-up box that says "TERRARIA IS TRYING TO DO SOME DOWNLOADIN OR WHATEVER" you're on the short end of a long stick.

Still, I cannot get on the server.

Have you tried to update your ethernet/wifi drivers?

Did you try your laptop at all?

Cause it'd be nice to know if this is because of your computer or your network.

Won't work on the lap-top.

If you can't connect with a laptop than it means it's a network problem.

Which means you need to check your router's  settings.

I have my Window's firewall disabled; I'm using Norton Security Suite. I don't have any other computers capable of running any type of game, so..

Found something:
Norton Security Suite might just be the problem. Looking up some bits, seems others have had similar problems

Do I need to disable everything on Norton?

checking. Disabling firewall isn't a good thing.

add "TerrariaServerAPI.exe" to your exceptions list

Also, Norton is shit. You can do better.

Having trouble finding that file.

Can you help me out here?

EDIT: I don't think I have that file. When trying to verify integrity of game cache it says I am missing one file and that it will be reobtained. Does that each time I try though.

In the first place, do you have a legal copy of Terraria?

Which file? also, just shorten that to Terraria.exe. you know how to add exceptions, right?

Yes, I'm running a legit copy of Terraria that I purchased from Steam.

It's already an exception for the firewall.

find something other than norton. just see if that makes a major difference.
I'm a former Norton user myself, it sucked ass IMHO.

I doubt it's related to a firewall or anti-virus stuff.

If the laptop had issues with connections as his computer does, than it's a network issue.



Can you tell us when it first began?

crusader :D

Ever since I've had Terraria.

Also, I never tried it on my laptop, I meant Terraria flat out doesn't work on my laptop. It's too crappy.

It really can't even get to the menu? Find a friend with a laptop or a parent's computer and try it on your network. I hope you know at least one person who owns a laptop.


Either way, it sounds like a network issue not a computer issue.
