well first off it WORKS on my tower


okay now to the problem.

I run a lan server on my laptop to test my plugin, it used to work but all of a sudden i can no longer connect to it and i dont know why.

i also tried to connect with my tower to my laptop same problem

the server is a clean copy of my towers setup which works so it isnt in the server setup.

i tried disabling virusscanner and firewalls stil no advance, just wondering if anyone else has any ideas.


PS: i dont connect to localhost i use the external ip other lan computers would use and dirrect connect

Some (really crap) routers (looking at you BT!) don't support local-loopback properly so using the external IP could be problematic... try using its internal IP instead?


(BT did *eventually* fix this in their HH3 after years of complaints)

If you run fds in lan mode i think there is always port 4848.

Also use IP address on your NIC where is running fds.

If you disable nic and you running fds and ren on same pc then you can use 127.0.0.1:4848 at least on my side this works.

the weird thing is, that it worked.
i even did a small lan game with my class and that worked, but now all of a sudden wont let me connect anymore

im stil using port 4848, just because im to lazy to change it and it wont be in use anyway as it isnt run on a real server

never tried using localhost because it didnt work one of the first times i tried it, external did

hence external works on my tower but doesnt for my laptop i could conclude its something else than my router

i believe it might not even be the server but something on windows blocking it, as the server doesnt even seem to notice the connections.

its really weird and annoying as i always coded ren on my laptop and now i cant test there slowing down the whole coding process Sad
