G Rider 0 Posted April 1, 2002 have a Dlink 801 router with latest firmware. Both computers work fine for internet and LAN sharing. Both XP Pro. Both can connect to OFP multi games via internet at the sametime. Both computers are running 1.46. Problem: I'm trying to host a LAN multiplayer game. This happens on both machines: I try to create a multiplayer LAN game, HOST enters the server setup without the HOST player present! (not running ofpserver.exe) The other machine (non host) sees the game, joins and that player is present in the pool. But whichever machine I choose to host (create), that player doesn't show up in the pool. Is there a work around? I'm not using internet connection sharing. Both machines connect to internet directly through the router. Thanks for the help, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mask 0 Posted April 1, 2002 Look G Rider, im not sure if this help, but i got few ideas. 1) R u trying to create the game as a dedicated server? 2) Try to change the host options, the connection, port, etc... Well, that's all for now. I'll try to figure out something myself, if anything appears, i'll inform u. Later Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ALDEGA 0 Posted April 1, 2002 LAN games are only accessible from within that network. Hence the name "LAN game" <> "Remote game". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
