I have just succeded one time to connect localy to play Hoi on my network connected computers. They can ping each other but only the slowest machine can the other on local. And if I start local on one and try to connect via ip adress. I don´t have any problem playing other games on the machines. Are there any known problem with localing?
Hoping for an answer

wolfbtl,

I'd love to try and help but I'm not certain I even understand the question or issue. Is the situation that you have a number of machines on a local network yet they don't see the host?
 
the slave machine(the slowest) can be seen but the opopsite around. Sorry I stalled the reply because I was waiting for a reply from the person who buildt it. But no reply from him how to descibe my local network. The thing is that when he was here he succeded every time to connect the mashines but I fail every time.
When I asked him he couldent remember how he didit. He think it was local enter through ip adress, but it is not working. Local to lokal can only one machine see the other machine but no dice.
And when I connect to valkyrie net both machine can enter the lobby. But only the slow machine can enter any gamesesion.
Hopefull for a replay from both the netbuilder and you.
regards
Wolfbtl
 
Wolf,

I'm still somewhat confused. Let us take one situation at a time. Assuming you want to play a local LAN game with the computers you have.

1) With what type of device are the computers connected to each other?
2) Does each computer have a static IP address?
3) Are you certain that each computer has connectivity?
4) Could one or more of the network cables be bad?
5) Are one of the network cards defective?

Let us start with that and we'll go from there. I understand your frustration but so many little things could be your culprit. We need to progress step by step.
 
great

Well here is the answers.
1. d-link
2. yes the both have a lokal ip adress
3.4.5. Other games are played without any then normal ingame glitches.

Thank you in the meantime
Wolfbtl

the slow Puter is a standard Siemens Fujitsu with only memory filled to the brim.
The main cumputer is celeron abit b17(eller b07 eller bd7, klottrig info) D-linken är en 1604

I'm certain the problem could be resolved but it seems to be one of those things that I would actually have to look at to find the specific problem. I hope you can locate someone there who can help you out.

One last thought, do you have ports 2300-2400 and the one other high numbered port open to all of your local IP numbers? You D-Link should be programable and each local IP needs to have those ports open incoming and outgoing. Just an idea.
 
I think that my network building friend have done that.
He is qiet good at networks but not as good at HOI networking.
Have there been any reports on incostistency about HOI network wise? I think it is strange that all my other game workin´.
Thank you for trying anyhow.:)
 
The only connectivity issue I'm familiar with is when others can't find the host. That is due to being behind a firewall and the ports I indicated previously not being open to/from the host and client computers. This is aside from the well known issues of lag, CTDs and disconnects, many of which have been repaired for the 1.04 patch.
 
Great

I will direct my netconstruktor friend to this port issue and wait patiently for 1.04.
If it work my son would be very happy. He want to play HOI with me. Otherwise he play FIFA and such.
best regard:D
 
No idea.
I still can´t play multiplayer on hoi even after those adjustment.
I just hav one proper machine and a fujitsu shit, so I might need to build another proper machine(with all the best goodies) to make it work. Check with NIGHTY he might know.
Happy Easter
