anyone got a clue?

Have you tried with your LAN IP, or a world routable IP and not the loopback IP ?

Wow, that is the same error i have been getting.
Theeper, I don't understand the question you asked. how do I find out which i.p. I am using.
I am not connected to the internet, when I'm using my lan (different i.p.s)
so is there a seperate i.p. for my machines and my router?
I would appreciate it greatly, as I can play fine from the host machine, but that kinda defeats the purpose, right ?

Click Start>Run and enter CMD into the "open:" field and click ok.

Then type "ipconfig" and hit enter. That will display the current IP of your PC. If you are running a router, the IP will most likely be something like 192.168.1.100, 192.168.1.101, etc. Add that to your config files and that should get you connected. Make sure you set your client PC to be configured to connect to your host/server PC's IP address.

ok, I'm still not sure what your saying.
When Im on my wired lan my ip starts with 169....
only when im on the internet does it begin with 192
as far as add it to my configs, do you mean both?, and where?
Im sorry if these are dumb questions.

I don't know if this is relevant but i used the peq 4.0 installer on the host side.
also the host shows up in the server list after the error. it just doesnt let me connect.

The 169 address is what windows assigns your PC automatically when it isn't connected to a network. Is DHCP enabled on your router? If you have multiple PCs in your house and they are all connected to a router, they should all be getting a 192.168 address. You can't connect to other PCs on your network if you don't have them connected together somehow...

You say "only when im on the internet does it begin with 192", but I don't know what you mean. Normally people who connect to the internet via a router will have an "always on" connection like DSL or Cable or even Satellite or Fiber. If you are disconnecting from the internet, normally that means you are on dial-up, and if you were, your IP address certainly shouldn't be 192.168.x.x.

What kind of internet do you have, and what kind of router? If you have cable or DSL, then you don't ever need to disconnect your connection. You need to explain your setup in much more detail for me to give any real advise.
