He's referring to my mother, who decided to complain at me for staying up until 4am for the past week. 

Sorry that Comcast is giving you trouble, CP.  I'd like to see you able to play again with us (even if that means you kill us all)   I'll see if I can host a little bit tonight at some point.  I'm thinking sometime between 8pm and 1am Eastern, for about an hour or two long game... perhaps.  I'll post the specifics when I am certain.

As for the improved chat text list thingy, I'm all for it.  I'd be nice to be able to read messages for more than a couple seconds.

* karx11erx thinks if ppl want to chat maybe they should not try to abuse a 1st person shooter for it.

You should try TeamSpeak, it's great! www.descentbb.net even offers a TeamSpeak server which you can join by simply clicking on the link (bottom of forum main page).

While I can chat and play at the same time because I have two computers, it's rather clumsy on one

[Music1an]

So will there be a game tonight?  If so, when?

[watsisname]

Ok guys, I'm hoping to host at roughly 2am (EST)  It *might* be a tad bit later though, depending on when I am able to return.  I'll post when I'm ready though.

Would someone mind to see if "Swantz's Game" is showing up?

Woot!  We seriously need to get these networking oddities figured out, though, so we don't have to rely on watsisname to host and get mad when he's 2 minutes late.

I can't see it, unfortunately.  Do you have a firewall or router?  For firewalls, you need to open up port 28342.  For routers, you need to portmap 28342 to your computer's internal IP address.  Also make sure you're starting a tracker game, of course.

[achtung]

Ah, almost forgot to forward ports, check again please.

Still can't see it.  Would you mind if you kept hosting it for a while even though I can't see it?  I wanna see if I can catch some packets from you.

[achtung]

Sure, I'll leave it up for a while.
Just lemme know when to take it down

[simX]

Gwah.  Can I get your IP address?  Send it to simX [underscore] other [at] mac [dot] com if you don't want to post it here.  Make sure it's your external IP address and not your external one.  ( http://whatismyipaddress.com/ can help here.)

[achtung]

I'll just PM it to you.

My Mom's machine is locking up whenever I try and look at  the list of trackers... don't know wtf is going on.

[Mars]

Fixed it... windows firewall had gotten turned on and D2XL is apparently on the no go list on it. I'm putting up a game for anyone who can see it

Will be going down regaurdless at 2:00 am EST sharp, or when I give up, whichever occurs first.

[simX]

Hey guys, the tracker runs on port 9424.  (Games run, by default, on 28342, though you can change that if you want.)  You might want to open your firewalls to port 9424 or map that port to your IP address on your router if you have one.  Perhaps that will explain why some games haven't been showing up on the tracker.

[watsisname]

Ok, hosting now.  Join when ready

[Mars]

Ah... minor problem... I'll join when I can... gah! I wish I could use my own computer for this...

Yay, another night with no internet. After arguing with another retard for about 20 minutes, I got $50 more credited. I'm going to be rich at this rate.

I used to be able to host in the past but I get that consistency error in the newer builds. What exactly does that mean anyway?

[watsisname]

I've had that consistancy error too, a few nights ago when switching levels.  I guessed that it meant the game still thought I was hosting and not letting me rehost.  It went away if I closed out of D2X-XL and locked down my internet traffic for a secon via the firewall, then opened it again and rehosted.  Not sure if thats just a coincidence or not though.

As for our next game, I'll see what I can do tonight.  I have some other things planned so I'm not sure what time or how long I'll host.  I'll definitely let you know the details somepoint before midnight (EST).

Man, why can't Comcast do that over here?  That way at least I can extort money from them the way they do from me.
