MP Issue - Network Unavailable?

[Machine]

Whenever I attempt to play MP I get a message "network unavailable". It even happens when I try to connect in Gamespy. I can get in just fine to the Gamespy lobby....but then "network unavailable" when I try to join.

No...no router...no firewall.

Any advice?

What version of DirectX are you using, and what is your ISP?

[Machine]

DirtectX 9.0b

Adelphia.

I'm not sure if HW2 will log the error, but can you try to join a game, then post the contents of your \homeworld2 demo\bin\release\hw2.log file please?

Do you connect directly to the internet?

[Machine]

Yes, ... I connect directly... I've done this everything (firewall + router) disabled...and combinations of ports added, HW2demo.exe permitted..etc...etc.

Thanks for the help by the way.

Here's the .log:

Do you use some kind of dialer software to connect to adelphia that's not built into Windows? What other programs do you have running?

[Machine]

Nope.

Straight cable connection.

[Machine]

Don't sweat this issue for now...I just did some connectivity tests and I am getting some packet loss.

IF that's the issue (I won't know until they fix it) then my only issue would be that HW2 is hyper-sensitive to it as compared to other games...we'll see.

Actully i have the same prob....

[ÜberJumper]

Yeah, and there's another with the same problem as well.

Do you guys have LANs in addition to your outside network connection?

[Blue_Vermillion]

hey, I am having the same problem too, and I have Lan set up in mine, I had a router but long diconnected it since it was blown from a surge, disabled my fire wall also. I will connect to gamespy all the way up too when i click either host or join, then it wont work.
Any help is appreciated, thanks

Blue:

Can you describe your network setup in more detail? Do you have two NICs in your machine?

[Koralz]

[Blue_Vermillion]

[Blue_Vermillion]
