Retro Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Not what you think, I know that it doesn't show up in the server list, but I try to have my buds manually connect, but no go. I notice in the "About" part of the Esc menu it says local host, instead of my IP. Is that supposed to be like that? Is there ANY way to get my friends to connect to me, or for me to host a server a differen't way so that it will work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsiSilverthorn Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Yes its supposed to say localhost...That's what your computer refers to itself as. How are they trying to connect? You didn't say exactly what they were doing. Have them make a new favorite and enter your IP...Then they need to change the list source to favorites and choose the new favorite just created. They should then be able to connect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Posted April 27, 2002 Author Share Posted April 27, 2002 One of them tried the favorates, then I told them to do a manual connect. (~ + "connect ip") Neither of them worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsiSilverthorn Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Well it works fine for me so I know it works. Can they connect to other games across the Internet? Can you? Are either of you behind firewalls? If so, Hardware or Software? If software, does it know about JKII and is it set to allow JKII access to the Internet and does it allow it to act as a server? If hardware, do you have the correct ports set to open? There are a myriad of reasons here but you still haven't given much info besides the fact that they can't connect....Also have you tried contacting LucasArts Tech Support?

Retro Posted April 27, 2002 Author Share Posted April 27, 2002 It probably has something to do with my network card, which has caused problems in the past. Although those problems were always fixed after disabling internet sharing, I dont think I'm behind a firewall, unless it's an ISP thing, I also dont know how to set ports that would get through to my computer. I am able to connect to them, and they are able to connect to other servers, just not mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsiSilverthorn Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 Well if you are using Internet Connection Sharing that could be it...LucasArts mentioned that it doesn't work too well with the game....But again I would contact Tech Support. That's what they are there for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Posted April 29, 2002 Author Share Posted April 29, 2002 Yeah, I just meant that every other game I've played was fixed when disabling it, oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
