Okay myself and six other friends made plans to play through IWD2 together. Slight problem though. I can't join the game. No matter what I do to my Norton Firewall, I just can't join *any* None of us are patched and we made sure to have the same frame rate. NWN works fine online, what's the deal with IWD 2? Someone help please! [img]graemlins/1pissed.gif[/img]

Without knowing what steps you've taken so far, try disabling Norton as a test only to see if that is blocking your traffic. If you can connect with Norton disabled - it the FW, if not will need to try something else.

Tried that already. Disabling the firewall *doesn't* help. I tried that with NWN. I had to give it *permission* I've done the same thing with IWD2, but no luck.

ok ...
open a DOS console then type: ping ip address to see if you can reach the server after that try: tracert ip address to follow the route. Since the FW is not the problem, it's a network thing. These tests will determine if the problem is at the TCP/IP level or the IWD level. If the above works the problem is with IWD, and I haven't played with the multi part of. Maybe over the weekend. PM me if you want to set up a trouble shoot session. [ 11-28-2002, 06:06 AM: Message edited by: Night Stalker ]

This may just be a typo in your first post, but you and SIX OTHER players can not ALL join at the same time. IWD2 only supports six TOTAL players.
If that is just a typo, my apologies.

I still don't understand why NWN works perfectly online, (apart from not being able to *host* games) but IWD doesn't work at all. It *has* to be the firewall. My guess is that the game uses another application which the firewall hasn't given permission to yet. And yes I am using gamespy. [ 11-29-2002, 04:33 PM: Message edited by: Redblueflare ]

Well Gamespy has been acting really stupid lately you know. For the last week I can't get into any games at all on the IWD2 forum. I pity the people who pay for that shit but yeah, perhaps you simply need to wait it out? GS goes down alot but lately it's been insane - never working properly, rooms not appearing. ppl not getting into games etc.

Redblueflare,
What operating system are you running? A friend tried connecting to a mplayer game we were playing today and she had NO luck. She was running Win XP home edition.
