wow, this sucks, I'll keep trying. Wonder if its firewalls getting in the way?

My guess is firewalls, I have disabled mine. When I tried to connect to surflvr I think I must have timed out. It sat there trying to connect and then eventually said "connection lost" but there was no evidence that it was ever created.

no luck. I had the same thing w/ you Steve.

WTF?

Wayne, quit working and host a game for us already!

ok, I shut my server down for a sec, want to make sure I've got the new update to 3.5

Ryan, are you running XP?? Do you have the built in firewall running?

OK, I just added the 3.5 update, I'm going to set the server back up again

208.191.146.111

I'll try it!

My XP F/W is shutdown but AOL has it's own so that might be the prob.

this sucks

Yep!

Wayne, where are yooou???

I'm heading home from the shop, I hope you guys get it figured out, it sounds like a blast.

Did I mention that this sucks??

:D

Still not working???
I'll start trying...

Hmm, there's not much to screw up on this, just "create" a game and wait. I can't imagine that AOHelL would keep you from joining my game, so I vote that it's not an AOL problem.

This is sad, I get paid to fix network problems and computer stuff is one of my hobbies. If I could just telnet into a router or switch... :rolleyes:

ok, I'll get the server going again

We could go one on one w/ a modem. :rolleyes:

Fuuuuuu(k!

I just got "Connection lost" back at me.

I don't know, it used to work fine when I was running over a modem on 98 2nd, but that was 3 years ago.

I tried to start up a network, but all I got was the local ip from my router.

Hmmm... when I go to NFS PU in my C: drive there is a notepad doc. that says version. When I open it it just says 3.2.

So, I'm guessing the patch didn't take. I followed the install screens... but I'm thinking it is not installing properly.
:(

damn, nothing yet

I just ran the patch I posted and it sucks!

Email me for a better one.

I can ping Steve, so my PC can talk to his, byt not Ryan. I am guessing there may be some sort of firewall in between.

I can't connect to Steve though, it times out.

I can try hosting, if we can't get it to work.
