Subject: Cant Join Internal Server

Hi there. Okay just what the hell am I doing wrong. I cannot join via an internal server. The machine I want to play on is the machine with the actual internet connection. The server is a computer networked in the LAN.

Both machines use Win ME and connect to the internet via Microsoft Internet Sharing. The cumputer I wish to server with has an internal ip of 192.168.0.2 . However if I use this ip I get 100% data loss. If I change it to the default gateway address of 192.168.0.1 then I recieve the data again. However I still get a collision of data so I cannot join the server. I know that Microsoft Internet Sharing is a form of proxy so is there something I am missing. The readme is just not detailed enough in describing how to join your own internal server.

No disrespect to DFPinger but oh how I wish someone could bring out a program like the old versions of ip4df. There was nothing to set up. Even though you were serving just like my setup described it automatically connected you to your own server with no fuss or hassle. It was great. Hope you can help but if not then give us a Pinger 3.0 lmao that makes it so much easier than this.

P.S. Im no computer n00b by the way but this is doing my head in.

Well i have never used and will never use
a win9x os.

All i know, if you want to play an serve, you need
2 diffrent IP's, one external and one internal.
The external IP have to be used by the hosting machine.
Seems like you are doing the opposite..

If you cant setup a proper sharing, buy yourself a router.

Yeah it looks like I will have to buy a router. I set it up the way I do as its silly to have to run two comps just to logon to the internet. Obviously you are going to play with the better comp rather than host with it. Im not a programmer so I dont have a clue how he did it but Frantik somehow got ip4df2 & ip4LW to work with this setup. It just seemed to be able to hook you straight up with any server including your own. Well I guess its router time. Aint computing a pain in the butt ;-).

Well BHD isnt DF2 or LW :).
BHD is more strict.
