Multiplayer pool empty?

[jeppelykke 0]

Hey Hey (:

Am writteing for a friend, he can't player Multiplayer for some strange reason, when he hosts a game and comes to the POOL area where you select what person/soldier you want to be, his name is not there. Anyone else connecting is there but him, and he is then not able to hit OK as he can't move himself onto a soldier.

If i host, and he connects then when he connects his name is not in the pool but he comes to the same screen as server is.

Do anyone know what happend, and how to fix this ?

That smells like a firewall or NAT/PAT problem.

Its local Network,

And he should still be able to see his own game nickname when he host a game ?

possibly hes not loggin in to windows ? You would think he would have no network either?

What user does it say when you select windows start menu (bottom left corner windows menu)

should say " log off (user)"

The name within user is the name used for Operation Flashpoint

If your having network problems...this is also your problem

You would have to login into windows as someone (dont bypass login screen)

Hey Hey, I like to thank you all, but i found the answer and it seems to be related to Directx how/why no idea, i found this topic under: Multiplayer forum:

Startup OFP and click multiplayer. Then click port and change the number to 2302. Then click NEW to host and you should show up.

It seems like directx 8.1 blocks out ports below 2300 and above 2400. It ended up being a Microsoft thing.

He tryed that and it worked! I don't know why directx just would start blocking he not modifyed it since last we played it worked perfectly, so strange.... Anyway it all works now for some strange reason after changeing the port to: 2302

Like to thank you all for the time and help you given
