Can't connect to any servers
« on: October 12, 2011, 06:41:15 pm »


               Heya!

I have a really strange issue where I cannot join servers...  any server at all.  I get the server list when accessing multiplayer for all rooms, but I can't join any of them.  This is really strange to me since I have never had this issue before.

This is what I get when trying to join a server:

"Attempting to find server."
"Connection to server has failed."
"Server is not responding (timed out)."


I recently got a new computer, using Windows7.  However I am using the same harddrive.  I've tried to reinstall NWN and turn off my firewall completly but not before I REadded the rules for NWN to access the internet, both Inbound and Outbout.  I've followed the sticky topics on this board for the Diamond release but to no success.  I've also tried changing the nwnplayer.ini file on the Client Port option, chaning it to other ports.  Nothing seems to be working.

We are using a router here and I am fairly certain I have opened all ports needed (5120-5300,6500,27900,28900 for UDP, tried TCP as well and BOTH) since I used the same setting for my old computer.  I've even gone to an extreme to shut down the Router's firewall protection for my computer and opened all ports.  Still doesn't work.

Now here's the really strange part:  I can host games without a problem!  It usually seems its the other way around for users here '<img'>

NWN still works fine on my laptop with the same cd-keys, however I am using Vista on that one.  So I can join games just fine there.

Here's my spec:

Game Version: NWN 1  1.69 + SoU + HotU
Game Language: English
Retail or Digital: Retail DVD
Processor Manufacturer: Intel
Processor Type: Quad Core i5 2500
Processor Speed: Processor speed in MHz or GHz as appropriate for your processor
Operating System / Service Pack: Windows7
System RAM: 4 gigs
Video Card Manufacturer: NVIDIA
Video Card Model: Geforce GTX 570
Video Card RAM: 1280 megs
Video Card Driver Version: 280.26 - WHQL

Any help would be much appreciated because, really, this is just ridiculous!

               Also I got my new computer after the Master Server issue that's going on right now.  Could it somehow be related to that?  That you need at least once authenticate to the Master Server with a computer?

Its a long shot, I know.

               Huzzah!

I solve it by simply opening the same ports as mentioned above for the whole network on the router ':lol:'

Oh the internets!
