dsom Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 i'v just place on the general discussion, but noone answer, wishing is the right place... got winxp , a burton 3000, ati9600 etc etc. install vicecity and mta 0.2.2. all seems be right, i connect to the server(lan 2 player 2 pc the other is win2k),i can start the game, can chose my player, but when i enter the game the game is "different" from the other pc, and i can see that 'cos i don't recive the server msg like ("welcome in my server etc...."). i can send msg to the server (and see them on the other player) and recive msg too... just is "another" city. i'v run the program with all compatibility with w2k, i'v try to set almost every kind of permission to trough the network, thinking that could be a problem of that sukz win XP. i'v try with server on both pc, i'v try with the same pc and connect trought the 127.0.0.1 but got the same problem! really dunno what to do. PS: i'v tried with 1.0 and 1.1 vc, and 0.2.0 and 0.2.2 mta. nothing change. tnx4all DSoM
Guest Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 lemme get this strait, ur saying that u cant see the msg of the day on both computers? i dont understand ur question
MTA Team Blokker_1999 Posted December 11, 2003 MTA Team Posted December 11, 2003 will, i don't think ur he smartest person around here, because it is a barton cpu not burton, also the place you start in the game depends on the career you choose and you need to set an motd before you can see one in game and don't forget to bring up the chatbow when you chat
dsom Posted December 11, 2003 Author Posted December 11, 2003 ok sorry for my english!!! perhaps you don't understand what i mean. pc1(w2k) "bill" : start server start client connect start game enter MTA (get msg) chose player it's on and all right pc2(wxp) "ben" : start client connect start game enter MTA (don'tget msg) can chose player, i'm in a VC but i'm in another city respect PC1 ben cannot see bill and bill cannt see ben. for exemple the time of the 2 city is different. both pc can talk, and i read it's normal cos chat and game are different sistem, simply the winxp pc is out of the server game. this happen else if i start server on the wxp pc. guess is a problem of wxp
[PiG] Ponch Posted December 12, 2003 Posted December 12, 2003 Give this a try... Turn off the built in XP firewall on the lan card. I'm figuring that you are running this over a lan? Might work might not...
dsom Posted December 13, 2003 Author Posted December 13, 2003 this is the first things i think, but i don't find any firewall activated on lan... is disabled on default on my XP version.
[PiG] Ponch Posted December 14, 2003 Posted December 14, 2003 Does MTA say the XP box connected in the server window or not? (Client connected message) If It doesn't there is something stopping it from connecting to the win 2000 machine what it is may remain a mystery. But as you said the machines can talk to each other. So a connection must be able to be made. To me it sounds like one of the required ports are being blocked. That's why I suggested I could be a firewall in place. But since you say there is no firewall, I at a loss to what it could be at the moment. sorry.
dsom Posted December 16, 2003 Author Posted December 16, 2003 got another info : if i create a server on the winxp pc and i try to connect with any other player on server it give the same problemz. so the problem exist either if i try to run mta "alone" with no other player or pc on the server.
Cray Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 The PC that the server is running on should be connected to "localhost", and any other LAN computer's should be using the LAN IP Address. If you both use the LAN IP Address, I do not believe it will work.
dsom Posted December 17, 2003 Author Posted December 17, 2003 i'v try to connect to "127.0.0.1" and doesnt work.. now try with "localhost". with another pc last month worked with normal ip address. and on the pc with w2k if i create a server and connect(either alone) with 192.168.0.1 it works. i try and i post again... tnx
Cray Posted December 17, 2003 Posted December 17, 2003 As I said, the PC that is running the server must connect to "localhost", whereas the other LAN computers wishing to play must connect to the LAN IP (not localhost).
dsom Posted December 17, 2003 Author Posted December 17, 2003 i'v try and doesn't work. in my opinion winxp block some port or some other stuff used by the level of the "game", (i read u say that are 2 level 1 for chat and 1 for game) but not by firewall 'cos i'v didnt find any firewall on the lan settings. but dunno what to think, on the normal and advance settings firewall is off... 2 level use both 2003 port? or ther's some other port for internal communication (server-game)?
Robpol86 Posted December 17, 2003 Posted December 17, 2003 xp does NOT block ports. only the lame xp firewall (u have it off right?) if u start ur server and u cant connect to 127.0.0.1:2003, then theres a big prob w/ your computer.
