Sounds like the server is misconfigured. <ducking>

Your server is misconfigured.

Seriously, with the lack of info you provided, that's all anyone can say.
Garbage in = Garbage out.

Are you running it in dedicated mode? If, try this:

seta net_lanserver "1" //0=Internet, 1=LAN

Hmm, that is the only way I can describe the problem at the moment.
I have no idea what makes a server tick and if my description is lacking
information, someone with knowledge in server setup should ask the right
questions to help me.

Are you such a person or just garbage out ?


BTW, we tried to connect to a server in the multiplayer "find multiplayer game
section" and both computers was connected at once, but and a big but, none of us
could move at all and was sitting ducks to the other players. Ping was 999 on
both.

I fear that if I get a server running, that can be joined by the other computer,
the result will be the same ?


The server settings as I do it.:

Server name "Private game"
Server type "Internet", tried "lan" no change to how the computer fails to join.
Game map "frag chamber" or one of the other maps
Game type "Deathmatch"
Frag limit "5"
Time limit "10"
Max players "2"
Do warmup "no"
Allow spectators "no"
Dedicated "no"

Advanced server option.:

Use password "yes"
-
-
Reload engine on map change "no"
Allow server side mode "no"
Map cycle script file "mapcycle"
Pure server "yes"
Configure server rate "no change"

So where is it misconfigured ?
The connection speed is ADSL.
pc1/pc2 is connected to a router that is connected to the ADSL.

There are no trouble playing Hidden & Dangerous 2 on that system.
But H&D 2 do have a separate LAN/Internet setup.

Things like what OS/version, dedicated server or not, basic computer
specs, etc...

LOL! Someone should ask you the right questions, huh? How about this:
How about you go out and do an easy search on setting up a server, and
follow the instructions you find. There are MANY MANY MANY sites out
there with the information you need. Go find it.

Are the IP's of the two computers in the same subnet?

Go look up the info you need. It's not very difficult.

when using a router to connect pcs via lan & internet you get a
private ip for each pc from the router & 1 public ip shared by both
pcs from the isp.
unless you specify lan only in the server config the server will be
confused as both pcs will seem to have the same [public] ip and not
different [private] ips.

I have done that, the one on planetdoom. It did not help.

You are still garbage out.

Understood. The private ip are 192.168.1.100/101 (pc1/pc2) the public starts
with 80, and is dynamic.

Yes, I have tried to set server type to LAN, and still it is misconfigured.
I have tried it on both computers, one at a time off cause.
We can play H&D 2 , Splinter cell - chaos theory and chessmaster 9000 on the
same system.

I have printed my doom 3 server setup in another answer in this tread.

i think this is the problem - doom 3 sets the server for lan or
internet or both. find the line in the config file that seems most
obvious and try 0,1 or 2.
i just saw the actual line somewhere in the last couple of days but
took little notice as i have no intention of running a d3 server. all
i remember is the 3-way argument to set server type.

Got it now, it was in the multiplayer setup where I have left it to dsl/cable
(logically in my head) instead of T1/LAN. Now everywhere I can set it to lan, it
is set to lan.
And it works now, thanks to your input.


I am getting the new addon. Hope there is no changes to the lan server setup.
Should I fix my doom 3 v.1.1 to v.1.3 before installing the addon ?

The addon supplies patch 1.2, the 1.3 patch just released is seperate.
