Nich 0 Posted March 14, 2002 I am having trouble hosting a Lan game. I can get to the loading screen and pick what map i want to use, but when it is time to choose sides no players show up, including me the host. I have ver. 1.46 and the rest of the game works fine. On my second computer I can host just fine and I can connect to that with my first computer. Any help would be great Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Frag 0 Posted March 14, 2002 We need details about the system you are running OFP on. However, if you are using Windows XP, you are probably butting heads with the Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) -- you'll have to open up the ports required by OFP or disable the ICF completely.

Burl 0 Posted March 14, 2002 Hey Nich, Make sure that each PC has a IP address assigned to it. Go to Control Panel, Network and assign each PC an address like this: 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.3 Also, make sure you have TCP/IP protocal enabled. BURL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Frag 0 Posted March 14, 2002 Just for clarification, you should not manually assign IP addresses to the systems on your network unless you don't have a DHCP server. Next, I would run the DirectX diagnostics (DXDIAG.EXE), click on the Network tab, and test the TCP/IP connection between any two systems that are unable to communicate. Make sure you use the same port number that OFP is configured for; if DXDIAG can't communicate between your systems, OFP won't be able to, either. Speaking of port numbers, is it possible that the server and clients don't use the same port numbers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
