and basicly did what everyone said i should, so please help

I have moved your thread to the correct location.

On which site are you hosting the server, and are there any specific instructions you followed to get up to the point you are at?

This error normally comes up in any case where you can’t get to the server. double check your IP/domain names AND make sure that you set the server up to use port 1666 (it is the default so its likely). Is this a P4D you are hosting or something like Assembla?

hosting it on my own, and i have tried basicly everything but could it be something with a firewall ?

Is this Mac or PC? I found that my PC could connect to my PC server fine with the server name, but the Mac needed to use the IP address to work. Also, maybe this is helpful for you? I remember using this at one point on my Mac when I was getting that error. Not sure if it’s what fixed it or not, but maybe worth trying. http://www.bitsandpix.com/entry/osx-set-mac-hostname-ie-avoid-perforce-workspace-issues/
