User can no longer connect to server

Here SysOps can list their MultiPlayer server info and users can send feedback to their SysOps. Or just talk about the MultiPlayer servers they play on. This is not about MultiPlayer in general - please use the MultiPlayer Forum for that!

User can no longer connect to server

I have a user that is having a problem connecting to my server. This user used to be able to connect and play just fine, in fact he had 3 or 4 chars with over 60 total hours of play between them. Now he is getting lagged out at the loading screen. I can find the new chars he creates with IFSO but he never gets to the cityscape on a new or any of his old characters before he gets timed out. He has reinstalled FL 3 or 4 times now, and can connect to other servers without a problem. He said he even tried a different computer while at a friends house and still could not connect. Now I have players that are connecting and playing just fine on the server. He and I have gone over all the "Normal" connection problems; dropping firewalls, reinstall FL I think I when over just about everything. Server load has been very low for the past few months and so server generated lag should be nonexistent.

He had been promoted to a server cop just before this happened and because of this problem can not even play on the server anymore much less police it.

So any helpful suggestions or tips/hints that would help get this player back playing would be appreciated.

FLserver 1.1 patched
Open SP Jumpholes
Nomads encounter in all systems
Battleship encounters in all House systems plus Corsair space
Orbital Spa & Cruise Flies Lux Liners on their major routes
NPC equipment upgrades (shields and weapons)

I have over 400 accounts now that are connecting and playing so I am sure it is not any of the MODs I did or everybody would be having the same trouble. Some of these MODs have been running without any problems for over a year now. The Nomads and Battleships have been running without a problem for over 4 months now.

1. move but not copy his character folder/s out of mydocs/mygames/etc...
2. restart the server <- most important

now if he can join, then someone made a mistake when restoring characters if he lost them due to a reinstall and not backing up his online ID.

Thanks Pinger that did the trick.

OK, Not quite the full right answer. The same problem came back so I deleted the users account and had him start over. I then edited him some replacement credits and he is not having any more trouble.
