I hope someone can help me with this, I am unable to connect to a computer though I am able to host a server. When I do try to connect I get the timed out error.
I am using Windows 7 Maptools v.91
I have the firewall turned off.
I did not have this problem a couple of weeks ago though I can not remember what, if anything, I've done different to my computer in the meantime.
Any help would be great

Re: Connection issue
Can you start a server and then open another MT and connect to yourself?

Re: Connection issue
1) Are you certain anyone else can connect to the server you can't?trexnco wrote:I hope someone can help me with this, I am unable to connect to a computer though I am able to host a server. When I do try to connect I get the timed out error.
2) Are you certain you're using the right ip, port, and password to connect?
Nothing should be stopping you from connecting to a server if the server is setup correctly and you have the right login/connection information.
Don't do this. The firewall is not stopping you from connecting to a friend's server.I have the firewall turned off.

Re: Connection issue
Thanks for the replies.
1. Yes other people were able to connect to the server. I was the only one unable to.
2. I'm pretty sure I had the right server and password. I clicked it off the list of available servers. I ask the host server about connecting via direct next time.
edit: even attempting to connect to other random servers listed gave me the same result of "connecting" ultimately resulting in a time out error.

Re: Connection issue
Do you have some kind of anti-virus or software firewall that might be interfering?
Re: Connection issue
I don't think so. I recently got rid of avast and McAfee.
Is there a way to check on this?

Re: Connection issue
Is your router set to high security? On my comcast router, if I have set at high then not connecting becomes an issue. I'm not sure about typical but I have mine set at minimum.
