Some more TCP/IP problems.

[Ragnarok]

Ok, if no one read my Last post in the other thread I'm posting this so some of ya'll will. We finally got the TCP/IP game to show my coming Online. My bro host's the game and to him it shows me coming into the game. But at my end, it shows the same "cannot connect to host" message. I read somewhere about this very problem but I forgot where and I can't find it anywhere. So if you all could help me out here I'd be very thankful. Thanks in advance!

Hey you ever figure this out? This is exactly what I am getting now. ( a big leap ahead from the no connection at all)

go into network neighborhood or network places on bolth comps see if comp icons show up.
i had this problem and i dont know how i fixed it. try installing netbui (bad spelling) and uninstalling it agian. that will reset some protocal and might fix it.

Definately check to see if you have the right protocols installed. Id have to be there for more specific help, sorry.

It sounds like those Last two suggestion thought I was playing over a LAN. We are trying to TCP/IP through the net. Both of use have routers. They have been DMZ'd, had firewalls disabled and allowed traffic through ports 6716-6720. Still we get this result. Very frustrating. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Are you positive you are both using the exact same Version of the game and the exact same data files? Not sure if that would give this particular error, but it is worth a shot. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
