Saludos!
A good friend of mine had/has a strange problem: he can't join my hosted Il-2 games via the IP, but if I host a game via Hyperlobby, he can.
I'm the host for our "private outfit" :lol: , my rig's all set up and running, and all other comrades can join via IP w/o problems.
My friends PC has XP running and he has no problems joining other games, like WoW, or Call Of Duty.
He's had that problem before, but back then, we thought it was his Norton IS package. But since then he re-installed the whole system and
switched to Kaspersky. But still: nogo for the IP, only able to join thru Hyperlobby...
We tried the common workarounds: setting full permissions for Il-2 in Kaspersky/XP firewall, switching both off, but no help there.
What wonders me most is that even without those measures he could connect via Hyperlobby!
For testing reasons I even disabled my firewall, but that didn't work either.
My FW doesn't even alert of incoming connection attempts, so something is still blocking him, but strangely only when trying to join a Il-2 game.
Somehow I'm at my wits end... Could this be an issue regarding his network card? Provider issue (AOL)?
Is there someone here with similar experiences or some hints? All help is appreciated!
(And before it comes to mention: yes, there's no problem setting up a HL game, but I really like to know the Gremlins' name, that's causing the bugger! :evil: )
