MobiusMaverick 0 Posted September 5, 2002 We got cable internet, so what's the first thing I did, correct.. install OFP and get online (many months ago)..Didn't work, got stuck on Creating Client-screen... and since that I've never been abled to play OFP online. I even bought the game for it.. I don't think it can be the system-specs... P4 - 2.0Ghz. 256MB DDR GeForce4 MX460 64MB.. Cable - @Home. Windows 2K - Professional NEED HELP!!!!

Lt_Damage 0 Posted September 5, 2002 Ok, for this issue I would suggest checking the following: Firewall, if you have it, disable it. If that helps, slowly increase your firewall but at the same time checking if what you do affects OFP multiplayer. If not firewall, check your Network settings, if your computer is configured with 2 LAN cards, one for normal networking and one to connect to your cable modem, try going into network settings and changing the order in which the operating system accesses these network cards. You would want it to access your cable modem first, LAN second. To do this, open Network and Dialup Connections folder. Select ADVANCED from the top menu, then Advanced Settings. Select your cable modem and use the UP arrow button to shift it to the top of the list, this will set your cable modem as the first preference in the list of available network connections. Also while you are in the Network configuration, check your TCP/IP settings, make sure there is nothing weird in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Frag 0 Posted September 5, 2002 Also, since you say that 'we' have cable, if you are using Internet Connection Sharing (ICS), you'll have to turn it off, or use OFP:Resistance's socket implementation. DirectPlay has problems with ICS and other connection-sharing solutions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lt_Damage 0 Posted September 6, 2002 Where does he say he's using Directplay? Hmm, ok yeah make sure if you are using Resistance to use Sockets, much better netcode for OFP Sockets is an option you can choose when Creating a new server to host. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Frag 0 Posted September 6, 2002 He did say that he installed OFP and tried going on-line immediately -- no mention of Resistance. He also said it was months ago, so I think it is safe to say that he's using the DirectPlay code. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MobiusMaverick 0 Posted September 6, 2002 To make things a little clearer.. I don't have Resistance yet, still running on version 1.46 ... I'm currently checking out those advanced settings you mentioned, even though I know there's no second LAN-card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomsaksa 0 Posted September 23, 2002 I have the same problem! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trigger Happy 0 Posted September 24, 2002 A really long shot...this is probably not your problem. If you've "accidentally" installed the Microsoft DirectPlay8.2 patch, the default MP port 2234 will not work any more. That's why it has changed to 2302 (in Resistance) in later days... /Happy PS. The patch is available at http://www.p3int.com/downloads_NWO.asp, but DON'T GET IT if you know what I mean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomsaksa 0 Posted September 24, 2002 To continue... My game also hangs on screen "Creating Client". I have Win2000 and cable modem. This is when I use GameSpy. If I run the game and then choose Multiplayer, I can't see any servers. Games like UTdemo and Wolfenstein demo works well over the internet. Help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
