I saw you with a lag of 2000 (obviously the maximum one can get).
I'll shut it down now. Didn't think it was that difficult to get things running .

Sorry, I cannot join your "no firewall" match (connection error). I'll do some additional testing tomorrow (2:30 am here --> ). Maybe I can figure out where the problem is.

btw, was it possible to start the game and to play some turns?

	Put an end to popups!

Hatchy u running winxp or win2k on the client you try too connect too blackices game? in case its ure network settings on ure client thats wrong, Had the same problem myself a while back, solution was using vpn tunneling too UNI, and get all ports open from there(I have 2 routers on my home network dont ask why ).

Btw, i think the easiest solution too this problem would be if some1 with access too a server would set up an vpn server. This would allow all us too connect trough a vpn tunnel too this server, and our computers would think we were on a lan, and we would be able too play lan games

I have some good news!

Someone set up a new game server. Try the attached servers.dat file (don't forget to unzip it ) and you should see a server named 911.alink.namesdepot.net.

Well One observation:

My game runs absolutely normal in the XP mode

I have a dual boot and go to the WIN98SE side and my Call To power runs s-l-o-w so I tried running the server and same there...

I can play no problem just we will be most probably stuck with the long running XP compatibility problem with saved games..

Ok..

The author of the Anet game server software, Dan Kegel, provides some information on his homepage. There is a link to a forum at Yahoo, where the owner of the server posted about it. I used the "gtest" test program, that comes with the source code of the server software, and the information from the forum (i.e. the server's IP-address) to generate the "servers.dat" file. When I used it with CtP, I was very happy to see the server online .

Didn't have the time for an online match yet. My connection problems in my own server experiments resulted from my second PC being connected over the internet one time and then directly via a cross-over network cable the other time (at least I think so). Windows seems to keep some info from the last successful dhcp connection, which can confuse things.

I dont know about Macintosh but this evening I was wondering, dont you have broadband cable?

I was thinking that in the Internet Properties then the "connections" TAB make sure "NEVER DIAL A CONNECTION" is checked

else when you try to make a connection in the game it will try dialing up instead of just going to server

Check this out I would wager that may be an issue..as it happened to me before

Peace

Check your router logs it will tell you, seems to me the udp was in the 21155 zone in and out?

Yup udp port 21157 out and the range for udp port in was from 21220-21230-21260.

From my original post:

quote: Nl. server is different it jumps around so I would avoid it but here goes: 195.193.163.56 again outgoing port is 21157. The tricky part is the incomming UDP port it jumps around too, so it starts at: 21120, 21130, 21140, 21150, 21190. It also comes in on 21220 to 21260. So if you program your firewalls and your network to allow this information we should be able to use xp for hosting. Now I did program my firewall to allow the games. server tonight on high security. The ping was 2000+ until I told it to allow the games. address. Once done it settled back to 200 or so where it usually is without the firewall on. So the address is correct as the nl. server was still 4k or so still after making the adjustment to the firewall by adding the games. server address and leving it on high security. So it would seem to me we need to tell xp with the firewall on to allow UDP ports 21120 to 21290 for incomming. 21157 for out going and again let xp figure out the server address. I would recomend the games server as it seems static.
