Chris Death 0 Posted November 15, 2001 You have not been able to host a game - ok. Have you been able to join a host yet? If both doesn't work - just one of several reasons it could have - try to run DXDIAG (direct-X diagnostics) - if you see there any errors at the network - just reinstall DX.

RN Malboeuf 12 Posted November 15, 2001 are you using the Standalone or the Server command for OFP.exe? What Version are you using? Did you install 1.3? did you remove the 1.29 Weapon addons (Bizon ect) they will conflict with 1.30 Your DirX Net work should be fine since OFP does not hamper ot change that in any way, but checking it is Fine to rule it out Are you trying this on Game Spy? Have you been able to Host OFP Before? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

suchey 0 Posted November 17, 2001 Maybe its fire wall related? Are you using a router or dsl internal modem? What type of firewall are you using (if any)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KoRnboy 0 Posted November 17, 2001 I hear from other forums it's firewall I have a USB ADSL modem I don't use a firewall (that I know of). I understand XP has bui;t in firewall how do I disable it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RN Malboeuf 12 Posted November 17, 2001 Some have said that turnin off the Internet Conection Sharing will solve the problem Not sure how to do it on XP, should be in the properties in the Network neighboorhood (if XP has one) right click on it and hit properties As for you USB Net, they can be a bit buggy, I have one on this computer here (at grammas she has this Compaq 300 mhz and a 1 ghz Athalon beside it to my right ) because it has no open slots, when it come to gamming and hard cor Net use a 10/100 NIC should always be used (Edited by RN Malboeuf at 5:26 pm on Nov. 17, 2001) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KoRnboy 0 Posted November 18, 2001 I've never had a problem with my modem. I could host before XP, and I can still join so it's not my modem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
