(LAN mini) 2nd pc will time out at the login

[corvus]

Alright... still checking on the firewall. At the risk of being laughed at, how do you tell if your firewall is blocking the 2nd computer? My firewall came built into the mother board (MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum nForce4). I will see if I can find settings for it.

I have reset my IP address to 192.168.2.1 for the 1st PC and then 192.168.2.2 for the 2nd PC and ALL of my multi player LAN games work like a charm. But the 2nd PC still wont log in, just keeps timing out.

I have both accounts redone to reflect the new IPs.
I did this first, by just going into the database and then changing them. After this did not work I used this command...
INSERT INTO account (name,STATUS, minilogin_ip) VALUES('Steve',250,'192.168.2.2');

To be honest... at this time I think EQemu and the minilogin is working fine and its my network thats messed up. But then again I can play LAN games with no problems but then again only one PC can get a internet connection at any given time.

Let me check on my firewall and see if thats the problem, I am sure there is info out there somewhere I can read up on.

Thanks everyone for all the help so far.

Sry if i confused you. Kind of a long shot really if your other programs are connecting fine... your setup (if replaced with the correct IP adresses) should work fine. Are you configuring your own adresses though or letting your router (DHCP) configure them for you?

You can try pining your own adress on the network to see if anything is auctually in the way... IE: ping 192.168.2.2, if no responce, then either somethin is blocking it or theres a problem with the IP config.

Also are you getting a connect message in the minilogin window when the second computer tries to connect?



Not sure what programs you have installed, but on this bot computer, i have norton, and their blocking settings are pritty straight forward

Hmm, what type/brand of router do you have? My brothers router had a problem where he had to configure some loopback settings through the router config page or he couldn't host network games.
