Ok after getting a new SATAII Hdd i decided to make it my primary hdd as the other was cluttered......anyway after saving my DBs etc i installed Winxp SP2 on my new hdd.
Set up server fine, everything worked ok. My friend could connect from his house, i left the server running in my other house and connected from my house fine. I came to update a few things today and tried to connect on the same comp thats running the server (had no prob with this before) and i get to char select and get "target machine blah blah" basically the server down message. but i could connect from my other house and my friends could connect. I tried setting the Cin to my Internal, External and Local IP and none worked >.< Only thing different from before is SP2 is installed instead of SP1. This makes it kinda hard to test things. Any reason why this would happen? Ive also tried setting the files up to use 127.0.0.1 (apart from the IPs that i need for others to connect) aswell as my Lan IP. I can connect if i set them all to 127.0.0.1
Second problem......The game used to crash (dont send message) at the char select screen.....i could get around this by clicking before the error cam up but it just quits straight away now.....Ive heard this is drivers but even if i uninstall my video drivers i get the same so i cant see it being that. BUT the game doesnt crash if i connect to euro mirs servers (exact same client).
Any advice? :S Im staying at my house thats running the server tonight so i can try ne ideas.
