Claidheahm Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 Some basic info.I am using an AMD Athlon 64 3000+ processor with XP Professional on it.My client is set up to connect with 127.0.0.1 and the server initially says "Received connection from 127.0.0.1"The client meanwhile just says "Receiving News…" and "Server status: Checking"Does anyone know why? I have gotten it to work on a different machine, but that one does not have internet access. (broken NIC.. Laptop) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris_hole Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 hav u set the port number right to it?and hav you set up your firewall to let it send data via the internet. if you have a frirewall it will block it connecting to the server, even if its on the same machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claidheahm Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 I only have windows firewall. I gave permission when it asked. The port, is set to the same default 4000 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claidheahm Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 I forgot to mention. I am using version 2.7 of the engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oizumi03 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 No, he doesn't mean Firewall port, he means Server port.Your server uses a port (initially 4000), make sure your Server's port and your Client's port are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claidheahm Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 That is what I meant. The server and client are both set up to use Port 4000.The server seams to be able to see the client, and the client can tell if the server is not on, but if the server is on the client just keeps looking for the status and hangs there.

Oizumi03 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Try changing ports to something like 4008 for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
