Title: Can't connect to FS2NetD, How do I get a direct IP game working?
Post by: redsniper on September 06, 2007, 09:45:49 pm
My friends and I are trying to set up a multiplayer game, but I can't connect to FS2NetD, I believe because of the campus-wide firewall. So I'm trying to set up a direct IP game but I'm not sure if I'm doing it right. Can someone help me?  :confused:

The Wiki knows all (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Multiplayer_Getting_Started_Guide#Direct_IP_Specific_Settings).

Alright, I'm ok now, but my friend's FSO is crashing right after the table validation part.
BTW, he's using the mac version.

EDIT: it turns out that his fs2netd account is registered and he can log in, but he isn't showing up in the pilot's list.
EDIT MORE: he's registered a second account which also lets him log in, but still won't show up in the pilot's list, so there must be a problem on his end, rather than something wrong with fs2netd.
EDIT 3: I got the accounts working by entering his username and password in my own PXO options and once the game connected to the fs2netd server his account started showing up on the list, but it's still crashing right after the table validation part. Which means the fs2netd account problems were just a symptom not the cause, which means we're back to square one, and no one reads my thread. :(
EDIT 4: Ah, I just read http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,46632.0.html now I see we'll have to wait till 3.6.10.
