wade Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 I am having an issue with connecting to multiplayer games. I running JK2 on 2 systems at home, both are using a shared ISDN line on a Net gear RH348 modem/router through my network. Both systems see the entire network (5 computers) and talk back and forth no problem. system 1: FINE Win 98se Abit BX-6II MB (intel BX chipset) P3 600MHZ 256 RAM Gforce 2 mx400 Sound Blaster live 3Com NIC card Direct X 8.1 latest drivers on all This system connects/plays fine over LAN or Internet. system 2: TROUBLED Win 98se Abit VH6-II MB (VIA Apollo Pro 133A chipset) P3 1000GHZ 512 RAM Voodoo 5 5500 w/wicked GL drivers Sound Blaster Audigy 3Com NIC card Direct X 8.1 latest drivers on all This system plays and hosts fine over LAN, but crashes hard every time I try to CONNECT to an internet game??? (loxks as soon as I click on the server choice +++internet/LAN,etc.+++) I can play single player all day with no issues on system 2 and can also host a LAN game without any issues, however when I try to join an Internet game or LAN game, my system locks completely at the server list screen the instant i click join w/standard sound loop?!? I can only get out of that screen by Re-booting??? I thought that maybe it was my video card, so I yanked the Gforce 2 from my other system thinking it was video, but it did the same thing when I put the Gforce in my system? I have uninstalled/re-installed this game about 10 times and still can not get it to connect! I am running thru a Netgear RH348 ISDN modem/router and have tried placing my system completely out side the firewall and/or opening the specified ports, but still the same??? I have installed the latest VIA chipset drivers and still no go!!! I am able to play games such as Unreal Tournament, AVP 2 and many others thru LAN/Internet, NO PROBLEM on all of my networked systems!!! I (for the hell of it) tried these senarios on Quake 3 and guess what? THE SAME THINg HAPPENS with Q3!!! It would seem that this issue is tied directly to system 2's hardware?/software? and any Q3-based games????? Can anyone shed some light on this?!?!? PS: The exact same thing happens on system 2 when running Quake 3. I AM BOGGLED..............HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Tedious Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 I am having just about the same problem! each time I try to join a mp game, the game crashes. But the thing is, I am also using a Router (for my brother's comp). Could this be the cause? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wade Posted April 10, 2002 Author Share Posted April 10, 2002 I have ruled out the Router on my end... My second system works fine and it is behind the same router/firewall... Besides I cant even join a LAN game which is usually no problem on network through a router... Try to join a LAN game on your brothers system and see if it hangs... MINE DOES and it is really starting to piss me off!!!!! Let me know, hopefully we can figure this out... Again, tell me your system info (detailed please) ALL!!!
