A log-in problem
« on: November 14, 2008, 11:05:28 am »
Right... me and Zoogmunch are really confused about this... and it's getting frustrating...
If someone knows how to fix this problem, then please tell us.
Hoping you know the answer to this one, Orth ;)

Right,
Normally, when I go into the NWN multi-player, everythings shows up fine, and I can log in no problem to Layo West.
But, if Zoogmunch (Rockhead) logs into West, then every server comes up fine, except West, which shows up as offline, and times out when I try to log into it.
Occasionally it will let me in as well as Zoogmunch, but sometimes it can take about an hour... maybe even a bit over that... just to log in when he is.
This also happens the other way round to Zoogmunch, if I'm logged in, the server times out for him.
I'm thinking this might be because our computers are both connected by LAN, I'm guessing thats a major problem.
I've already tried disabling the firewall, but that didn't work.

Thanks again. :)

As Ycleption's link tells ya, you need to change the clientside port of NWN via the link's instructions.

Thanks for poiting this out, we turned out to have the same client port number, so I followed the instructions to change mine.
Thanks a bunch, works fine now, and also, thanks for the quick reply. :D

NP, if I'd known I'd be getting a virtual hug out of the deal, I would have copied and pasted, rather than just linking it for you ;)
