Enumerating Sessions???

[Sledgehammer]

Okay we have been playing Novalogic Joint Op's for a while and have been playing with a group of around 7-10 using Hamachi to link up the lan connection.. but recently we all decided to try a few games online with everyone (great idea alot more fun got our ass's kicked ) but the problem is this when one of us hosts a game i cant seem to join as there are 3 of us in the same house one of us can get on the game but the other two get this error.. i have been on a few web sites doing loads of things with the router but nothing we was gaming last night and someone suggested this site so i thought i would ask in case anyone knows??

i have a netgear router and all 3 connections are wired all 3 pc's are running win xp pro (coz vista is turd)..(my opinion)

dont know if this is a pc problem or game problem so posted in this first.

cheers

ps sorry for dup post

you all use the same cd to install the game in using the same Keycode for all the computers in the house?

each computer must have their own CD Keycode to play with each other, its not share to all computers in the house

each computer has to log-in with their very own Novaworld account user name and password.

as you try to log-in you have to be connected to the internet for each computer to log-in with their own account as will for lan play! you all log-in! after you can play together.

its a anti-pirate thing nova-started use for JOTR-Family as will DF: Xtreme no more by pass log-in or usig the same Game Cd to install into other computers

We all have a different cd key i bought 14 copies of the combined arms game for us to play.. so each has there own key...

[Hellfighter]

ok then check the setting for each computer see if there something blocking share option maybe disable

there is the log-in you all able to log-in before you play lan?

"one thread is all needed on the subject"

yes when we play via lan (using hamachi) we can play no problem.. also if we join a server run by anyone else we can join if i host one we cant all play together..

google has no help for this.. and novalogic support seems to suck at the moment..

[Sledgehammer]

Same ip so.......... like in all df games you cant host on 1 puter and play
on a other using the join the same server stuff made by nova ( all games
got add ons made by wizz kids like nedfox that make you join true a extra
program)
So get a extra ip or wait untill there is a program for join server like
dfbhd pinger

think each computer has to have their very own IP to log-in to each other

have to pass on this and let other try to help you better ref; lan connection for JOTR

Yep, try connecting through the LAN, so instead of looking for the server in the list, go to network game and then type in the IP ( LAN IP ) of the hosting PC..
I have done it this way in the past with my brother, and it worked perfectly for us..

[Sledgehammer]

yeah we can play via lan but we want to host our own server so others can join.. lan all of us np..
when on novaworld most of us no problem but when 3 from 1 router try to join all 2 of us get is Enumerating Sessions..

and to be honest its getting right on my nerves now... arghhhh

all the pc's have there own ip address so i dont know why it wont work..

[katana*GFR*]

What i ment, you got one server and all ports forwarded in your router so people from the outside can connect, the other 2 in the house connect through the LAN IP, that might solve this issue. Because then JO doesnt see that you 3 play from the same WAN IP.

What you could try also is to see if you have NAT in your router, and turn that on.

[Sledgehammer]

will someone be able to host a game online and us 3 join with 2 using lan.. wouldnt have thought that would have worker tbh..?.. and NAT??

[katana*GFR*]

NAT = Network Adress Translation
If turned on it will see that the WAN IP you connect to is actually its own Ip and thus returns into using the network instead of going through internet.
