Cannot connect, wrong version

[unmerged(22611)]

I have been trying to connect to a game via IP but it always says that my version doesn not match the hosted version.

I have 1.03b, ed_fix, and the event upgrade that the host has. I bypassed my router and zone alarm is down.

What can be causing this problem?? Please help.

I am stumped. I have both a dsl and a cable connection in my house, so I set up a computer on each. Did clean installs of vic 1.03b. Neither is behind a router, neither has firewall up. I know that one has the xp firewall disabled, the other doesnt have the same menu so I cant find it, but i think it defaults to off.

I am able to connect to vnet with both, and I am able to ping both ways, but anytime I try to host, whether on vnet or ip it says there is no hosted game at that address.

What am I doing wrong? Any advise would be great.

You sure? You have ed.fix and 1.03b.

yes, I have been trouble shooting this thing all day. It is beyond me why it doesnt work. I cannot connect between my 2 machines on different connections, but I can complete the directX directplay test just fine. Whenever I try to host, it just says there is no game at that IP.

I was able, however, to get it to work on my wirelessLAN, so it isnt the game it is something with my connection.

Anyone have suggestions??

In what order you installed patches?

 

[unmerged(22611)]

clean vic install, 1.03, beta, ed_fix. It isnt a problem with the install, at this point I am just trying to get it to connect to another computer that isnt on my lan period. I think my cable isp is blocking some ports, but I think the dsl is ok. Problem is, I need someone to test connect to to try it out so I can figure out which connection is the problem.

One thing we did in our game when we got this problem, was that one of those able to connect packed down their entire db-directory and sent it to the one with problems. The one with problems then deleted his db-directory and packed out the received one in its' place. Also, remember you need to restart Vicky if you already had it running before you unpacked (quite a few fiules are read on game initialization).
