Warpcore

I also tried with Blackice turned off , so I'm not sure if that is the problem. But thanks for the effort , I appreciate it.

Hi MisterFrag, You where spot on with the links , but I apparently don't have internet connection sharing installed. So that can't be the problem in my case I guess. Anymore ideas?

Jago, Thanks for the reply , but I'm running Win98SE. Does that also have that option? I never heard of it before I read about it on this forum. As you guys found out , I'm no computer genius , I just want to shoot stuff :-P

Eeeh , I'm sorry , but I don't recall seeing any port numbers on the Directplay Test screen. It was basiclt a gray screen with a chatbar on the bottom. Could you please tell me how I can check this? Thanks ;-)

Hi Mister Frag, I have a working network connection (I can play other games online without problems) I use Blackice Defender as a firewall (set to low) and I also tried with blackice off , but always with the same result. I don't have Internet connection share (I think :-P) , at least I don't remember installing it..... I ran DXDIAG and tested the TCP/IP and I could chat on the little chat window and I got reactions as well , so I got connected. Any other ideas?

Hi all , I have a slight problem I'm hoping someone can help me out with. The problem is OFP 1.30 freezes when I try to connect to a MP game. I get the "creating client" screen but then everything freezes. I can't even get out with ctrl-alt-del. In single player games there are no problems whatsoever. Yes I did read allmost every post in this forum and no there was no solution for this in any of them. Other games will play MP with no problems. Here is my system: Pentium 3 900 Mhz 512Mb SDRAM MSI Starforce 8817 Geforce2 Soundblaster Live! Via based motherboard (don't know the exact make) I did try the disable agp trick in the bios , didn't work I also have the latest 4-in-1 drivers installed (also tried every other version I could lay my hands on). I also emailed codemasters and all they could come up with is defrag your harddisk and try again..... so I did and it didn't work either. Please can anybody help me here?
