               Pretty much summarized in the topic. I'm not exactly where to go, as I can't find anything else in the same vein.
I should add that others can connect just fine.
Just not me! I'm not connected to it via the normal client, either, though I tried and got the same problem.

               Are you and one of the players sharing CD keys?

               Nope.
This happens even if nobody is on the server.

               Any chance you've got a Good Old Games copy and haven't requested your unique product keys yet?

               No, this is a hard copy that works just fine for multiplayer otherwise. It is ONLY doing this with my own server that I'm hosting. Otherwise, everything is cool. But I can't connect to my own server!

               Are you hosting the server via the standalone server program or off a secondary install with the same cdkeys?

               Standalone server.

               I would check the NWN folder on the standalone server install and see if it contains a nwncdkey.ini file and if so see if your keys happen to be listed. You may have installed NWN on that machine at one point or another, uninstalled and then installed the standalone and the uninstall may not have cleared all files. Standalone server shouldn't have any keys associated with it if memory serves.

               Very strange... the dedicated server shouldn't have any sort of product key use associated with it.

               Right, but if an installation of NWN was done prior to installing the standalone it could in theory have residual files left in the Neverwinter Nights folder one of them being the nwncdkey.ini storing his cdkeys on that computer hence the duplicate cdkey message. Its the only thing I can think of in terms of duplicate cdkeys on a standalone server install.

The only other thing that comes to mind is both machines are using the same port 5120 and its causing a ghost of himself.
