Not sure what happened, but I had it working, then all of a sudden it doesnt work anymore. I have been having slowness issues with my ISP lately, could be a factor.. i'm not really sure.

But what happens is, i load the server on my WindowsXP EQ Machine, then load up the client on my W2k machine. The MySEQ Server takes the connection, and no errors from the client side, but also no spawn list either.

Another thing that I did that may affect this, not sure at all, is that I plugged my DSL modem into my switch, and got all the machines to connect individually to the isp..

I am using Server v1.11 and Client 1.15.13

The switch isn't the problem since we are not sniffing packets.

The problem sounds like a FireWall issue since it sounds like each computer has a public IP Address (and you should be running Firewalls on every PC, if this is what you are doing).



What it sounds like:
/ Computer 1
ISP - Switch - Computer 2
\ Computer 3

What I would do:

/ Computer 1
ISP - FW - Switch - Computer 2
\ Computer 3


Pleas post more of your setup so we can troubleshoot the issue.

Both machines have a local ip .. (192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.123) since the connection to the ISP is another connection in the network connections.

And I do the connection to the ISP via pppoe on each machine.

Not sure what other info you need, I checked and there's no firewall on either computer (in the network settings)

Also, I can telnet to the 192.168.0.123 5555 and get the blinking cursor in the top left.

Actually with my isp problems I'm having atm, connecting the DSL modem directly to 1 PC and then sharing the connection just doesnt work well.. the internet connection seems slower that way. Unless I have a problem beyond that.. i'm going to try to run the client on the same machine and see if that works

OK take ISP outta the picture.

In the telnet session when you get the flashing cursor in the upper left you can hit {Enter} and it should start stream data across the screen.

If this works then the Client (on 192.168.0.1) can talk to the Server (on 192.168.0.123) with no problems.

Make sure the Client is properly set to 192.168.0.123 on port 5555 in the options. Then click 'GO'. If this still doesn't work then turn on Logging (F1 Logging set to 1) then post the errors in the log file.

Ok, now i get a new error :D

"Could not connect to the server: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
Try selecting a different server!"


I can Telnet to the machine and get a whole bunch of text across the screen though.

Perhaps i'm using the wrong server or client version ?

Server version 1.11
Client version 1.15.13.21232

Glad it's working, sounded like something with the IP Address in the Client configuration.
