Can't Find Lan
« on: August 27, 2010, 02:36:32 am »


               I played NWN1 a few years ago.  We wanted to play again.  We had to install it on one computer as we've had a hard drive crash since we played.  We have 2 copies, 2 CD Keys, and had no issues other than having to get the 1.69 complete install from the website.  Now we can't seem to play a multiplayer game on our lan.  Previously it would show up no problem and NWN2 has no issues.  Is there a special setting with this new update?  I updated both versions so they match.  Thanks!

               Can you direct connect?

Can you ping each other?

Possible firewall issues?

Possible security settings, like UAC?

Tried a spare set of ethernet cables?

Sometimes it just takes the lazy network a while for the LAN to show up on the list depending on how fast the connection is.
