Is there another way to...
 

Hey ... I was wondering if there was another way to log into the JO demo besides clicking the icon on my computer screen

REASON: It gets hung up on "Connecting to Novaworld"

no firewall
excellent graphics card
cable connection
got all the updates
ran ad-aware 6.0
turned off all virus scans
and any thing else you can think of ........

SO DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY OTHER IDEAS?

I miss killing you all from the skies

i think the only way is by the default. Click on novaworld...

explain..... click on novaworld?

think he mean the name (wording) NovaWorld

ye chief, only way is to click on novaworld in the game main screen

lol.... i think your stupic ux*bb :p

*stupid :P lol , im 14 m8, what u expect ;)

well then this is just crap ... every time i click that little novaworld button ... it hangs me up when the screen opens up and says "connecting to Novaworld" crap crap crap

well, just delete jo demo, and try to download/instal it again, update............ if you still have the problem then. i think you have to send an email to Novalogic......

i have done all that except send novalogic an email ... and i dont think they would respond with anything except a standard ... "we got your email" letter :(

you did update the demo right there is a new update for it or maybe you did not read the new's area of the site here they did post it up. its the last one they going to make for it any way get it.

have you checked to see if you have (winXP) that its own firewall isnt enabled?..other than the firewall problem with connecting ive not heard of owt else stopping it

if you do e-mail them send a copy of all the text file in JO demo folder in it to them they can read all of it and see what is going on.

if you have any fire walls or routers, disable them or bypass them. you should have no problem. Also on the offical nova forums they have many other post about this.

I had this problem too, had to change the config file in the joint ops directory to use only 1 port for novaworld and then reconfigure router to forward that port to my pc's static ip.
I posted up the full info at novaworlds forums, plenty more info on editing config file there too.

belmont ... can you throw up the link for me so i dont search a million threads?

can't find the post I put up over there, anyway waht I did:

quote from over there

"<i>Q: What port do I open for NovaWorld?

A: The port is a random number between 32768 and 65535. Open up that port range on your firewall. If you want to specify the port so you don't have to open them all... go to the game.cfg file in your install directory.

Press CTRL+F to get a "Find" window, and search for "port".

You should see the following...

----------------------------------

mpnovaworldportmin = "32768"
mpnovaworldportmax = "65535"
mpnovaworldportdelta = "1"
mpnovaworldportrandom = "1"

----------------------------------

If you want to change the ports that the game uses, modify the "mpnovaworldportmin" and "mpnovaworldportmax" ports. You can make them both 32768 if you want."</i>

I made these the same number, first making sure that nothing else was using this port, using a port monitor
you could probably just run->command->netstat -a.

<i>"You can set the port by changing "mpnovaworldportrandom" to "0". This will turn off the random port selection and will start at the "mpnovaworldportmin" port."</i>

I set this to zero

Set my pc up for static i.p e.g 192.168.0.100 where the router is 192.168.0.1
so the pc is ip
192.168.0.100 subnet mask 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.0.1, dns from run->command->ipconfig -all

Set port forwarding in router for novaworld port ->192.168.0.100
