novaworld login problem

[westausgirl]

I have trouble logging on to novaworld. We have four computers networked and connect to the net using ADSL.
If I plug the laptop into a dial up stand alone connection I can get on to novaworld with no problem.
We have the same problem with Task Force Dagger as well
Could someone please tell me if it is possible to play on novaworld with networked computers and how.

btw can one compuer on its own connect to NW, or none at all?

[westausgirl]

none of the computers on the network connect

[Steve]

but other games and internet is ok?
is there a firewall?

[westausgirl]

other games and internet are fine and we are running Norton Internet Security and I have even tried with that disabled

[Steve]

have any probs with LAN LW?

[westausgirl]

no lan plays fine we can run all four computers in the game

[westausgirl]

we get to the joining session screen and it just stops there

[Steve]

have you tried using BHD pinger to join instead. it is worth trying.

[westausgirl]

[Steve]

[westausgirl]

yes do i download the LW pinger which I did and then what are you supposed to do next

[Steve]

the info for the tool and use of is here>> http://home.tiscali.no/dstructr/DFTFDPinger/DFLW.htm

i have no personal experience with the prog sry, i'm just trying to find a way for you to bypass novaworld so you can join servers.

[westausgirl]

i downloaded the LW pinger but dont seem to get anywhere with that

[westausgirl]

the computer that has the adsl modem attached to it will connect to novaworld
the rest of the computers connect through a router
the ones that go through the router will not go past the joining session screen

are you getting a error 3001? when logging in to NovaWorld any

[westausgirl]

no it goes to joining session page and just stops there

[eglscout]

Have you tried scrolling down on the login screen to Bypass login??? I run lw over a wireless lan and that is what i have to do inorder to get in... try that!

[westausgirl]

yes we have tried that it just goes to joining session screen and stops there

oh only one party may log in at a given time, even if your systems are all link together only one at a time may log-in. into their account, each system have to have their very owne Cd or their owne account to play into Nova.

last try to update the game again somethings may have gone bad, and replace the Ibrowser in it. with the newer one made for DF: LW, TFD, BHD.

with Norton it is normal to disable it to log-in after enable it. i have to do it every freaking time to play any of DF: LW,TFD,BHD hate it. why nova goofy up so bad i never will know. it work at one time then they change something to their log-in now it bug every one with that goofup error 3001
