The chest in the bank, do they lock at all? Are they locked by CD key or by login? I do see the green hand but I don't think its locked.

Could someone (*perhaps bass please*) post here some alternative methods to direct connect... I know they can be found if I make some effort but I'm lazy;-p And it could possibly help others that are not whining here like me... Sorry for asking if you have already done so but first lets clear this up. You have made a shortcut on your computer to nwn.main and input the + [ IP address ] etc? I will try to mention it to Bass as soon as I can. I did have a typo in command line of my direct connect shortcut, but after I fixed it, server still only times out. As I previously said, I can see the server in gamespy listing too, just unable to connect via any method I know of... And other servers still work fine, with or without Gamespy... Really strange, I have to say. But I'll keep on trying to figure out any mistake by me, all suggestions are still welcome. |

Ok sounds like some port that you need for NWN is closed. There are certain ports need to play NWN, if they are closed thats what happens. I remember this from years ago when I was in school in Virginia and the hotel I was in would not open enough ports for me to play. Could also be your firewall but as you stated already that its not that. So next step should be checking your ports in your router. "If you are trying to play through a firewall of some sort, here is some information for you to help you get connected. Neverwinter Nights uses UDP, not TCP for its connections. If you think that your firewall is preventing you from connecting to the game servers, please make sure that the following ports are open:
Ports 5120 through 5300
Port 6500
Port 6667
Port 27900
Port 28900
In addition to opening the ports listed above, you may need to allow incoming connections on the port you are running your server on (5121 by default) and forward those connections to the computer running the server.
Check out www.portforward.com for detailed configuration instructions for most common brands of router." ~ Bioware Forums Quote |

Ten minute timer starts after first item is dropped in there. Timer ends when first item is taken out. VFX Bigby hand is not an accurate way to tell if they are locked, they are just a visual reminder to use another chest. So far, I never seen all the chest with a hand on it yet. Hand is suppose to disappear after ten minutes flat, but sometimes it seems it doesn't. Me and Harley tested it one night. |

Could also be your firewall but as you stated already that its not that. So next step should be checking your ports in your router. That really could be a port, but the router thingy is a bit tricky... In our house, all the apartments are connected in common router, that is directly connected to fiber. Only ISP has physical or network connection to that one's configuration (at least legal one...) So no way I can check the router settings, other than that I asked from ISP customer service, and they said nothing should be blocked that way... So, I had a chance to use a friend's comp, she has a different ISP, and got through via Gamespy. Could play for a bit, that was cool, but need to get a solution for my thingy too, heh.. Also ran tracert from both comps, and both get timed out after ....chicago.comcast.net router. So, anyone remember any other program or setting that could block this spesific server from my comp? Firewall and router are sort of ruled out... -edit- Forgot to mention, the friend of mine is running XP, and I am running (hate to admit but true) Vista, if that could be part of it. I surprisingly have had very little trouble with my OS, so still have the preinstalled one.. did I ever mention being a bit lazy;-p |
