well if an eithernet card is considered to be an NIC then I have two built into the mother board. One for LAN, and the other for internet connection. I can't pull them out. I have an eithernet card on my other PC but it got fried during a thunder storm, strange that it was the only part that got nuked.
-
Hmm are you using an inbuilt NIC?
If so have you got a PCI one lying around you can test with.
Also can u play other games online?
I don't know what an NIC is. Yup, I can play other games just not on direct play (ofp). I think I can live with this, not too much of a pain I suppose.
@wp
Nice to know, thanks for the info

Windows firewall? UNCLEAN! UNCLEAN!
Kill that to start with. Set the Nvidia one to do noting at all with anything ever, and just focus on McAffee.
More firewalls just cause confusion. If the other 2 do nothing, you can play with settings on McAffee. Even turn them all of and see what happens.
I havnt been able to check, but have you posted this at VBS resources tech support?
LOL!
I've turned them all off and still nothing. My thought on the Nvidia FW is that if it's not installed it's gunna block things anyway without me configuring it. I could totally be wrong about that but I'm almost certian that I read on the website that if nothings there(Software install) it will "protect" my PC reguardless.
Uninstalling Mcafee is somthing I've tried but its such a nice firewall and easy to use... sort of. I like it better than the other two options anyway.
Yes, I've posted at the official forums, there is a thread going there as well.

lmao, k... well, the 3 firewall thing just kind of happened. I wasn't aware of Nvidia's onboard "Active Armor" untill I did some digging through the online manual. Even then the only reason I installed the software was to turn it off. Other wise it seems as though its on auto-protect or somthing by default. Windows firewall wasn't somthing I ever really wanted to use so that left me with McAfee's.
I see that whistling smiley lol. As far as I know there is no router near or around my PC. My modem is a Motorola SURFboard VoIP Cable Modem (Thats how they have it spelled out on the installation CD, caps and all)
item #:
SBV4200
So far this is how it sits:
McAfee's: Turned on with VBS1 granted access
Windows: Turned off
NVidia F: Turned off (but still installed), Not sure but I think I opened ports 2302 and 2323 in the options.
This is what I've found:
By clicking on "Sockets" and switching to "Direct Play" it locks up in both VBS1 and OFP:R to the point of not being able to click on multi in either one without lockup and CTD. If I go into my user file and delete my config then it will reset my user options putting "Network" onto "Sockets" by defualt. Then I can get back in there.
Now, I've gotten a hold of Gordo's "hosts.txt" file and everything works fine on "Sockets" but not "Direct Play". I can create my own game on sockets, even connect to another server but clicking on Direct play is certainly going to cause a CTD.
How important is this? How many peeps use Direct Play and why? Is there something gained from it?
-
well, if I delete a file in my user folder it'll put the network back onto Sockets. Nice to know so I won't have to keep re-installing VBS
-
cool, thanks dan,
I've tried both 2323 and 2302 at the same time, still nothing. Here is a pic of the options I have on the nvidia fire wall.
-
If I just turn it off won't it still lock things out like before?
Said somthing on the website about if you don't install the program, active armor would still protect you.
I'll turn it off and give it a try.
The only thing beyond this that I can think of is maybe my Internet Provider or the modem they gave me.
edit: this is what it said when I turned it off...
"When you turn off NVIDIA Firewall, ActiveArmor will also be turned off automatically."
crossing fingers, we'll see if it worked
-
Its an MSI Nforce 4 Ultra, not SLI
I've been trying to install the program to mess with it but its being a pain and won't let me configure anything, I'm going through the manual to see if I installed wrong.
-
Ok, This situation is starting to knaw at me, its gone from "pain in the rear" to "my rear has died and fallen off"...
OFP switched to "Direct Sockets" is doing the same darn thing that VBS1 is doing. I may have to re-install both now. aaaaarrrrrrrgggggggggg!
-
Some of you where there when we messed with trying to fix this "Network" button problem(Warhawk, Gordo, Ger, etc). It seems my mother board has a damn firwall built into the either net card thats built into my mobo. Seems that it works without me knowing it so I'm going to have to spend some time figuring out how to disable or tweak it so that I can play VBS1 & OFP... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
-
HAHAHAHAHA! you guys are killin me hahahahahaha!
-
That would be awsome Gordo_Viper, can you post a link or I have msn?
MSN: teraforrest@hotmail.com
All you fellas can add me if you like, message me if you see me on I'll hop into a game with you
WP, I will grab them ASAP as soon as I can get into that resource site
-
Addons:
European Islands
OPFOR1
ADF1
Special Forces 1
I can't get into the resource site yet, no password thing has been emailed to me. Do I need a patch to play with you fellas?
-
Thanks dekela, I copy/pasted the file to the data file in vbs1 and it worked! thanks
Hotshot... lol, I would have screemed.
I love it, I want to get into that resourse site but I can't yet, still need my name and password thing.
oh, and those SASR units rock!
-
Guess what was laying next to my head when I woke up this morning... YES! VBS1 AND THE ADDONS WOOT! My mom new I was eager to get this and saw the package arive, she layed it next to my head lol. I woke up like I usually do a little groggy but when I saw that fedex package I knew exactly what it was. I got up right away and installed it. Everything works good, still need to do some pokin around to figure out some things.
Whats up with the voices, I can't hear the radio chatter? Does ketgey's DXDill thing work on this? Would I use the exact same program(Dxdll) on VBS1 as I would on OFP?
-
thank you, I tried to send the email twice to the first address but I kept getting an error email. So I sent the email with the second address. Hopefully I'll hear from him soon.
-
he had it david@bistuSio.com, not david@bistuDio.com
second one is right?

A friend in Canada ordered VBS1 Core and ADF1 (from CTCorp) December 28th and hes still waiting for it
Thats what, almost 4 months and counting.EDIT: Terra, if you do manage to speed up the delivery somehow, can you say how? Already sent 2 emails, and i told the guy to phone them too, but dunno if he did.
I posted on the official forum as well and one of the mods told me to email them and they would take a look into it. You may want to have your bud email him so he can look into it.
his email: david@bistudio.com (I think, not sure couse he misspelled it in the post lol)

I'll look for the phone # to call them, and I've already sent two e-mails to them without any response. I think I'll start sending an email every day untill I here from them, then if I get some lame response I'll push it up to two emails a day lol.
If I still get nothing, I'll call my contact in the CIA to see if he can push this along.
Seriously though, this is rediculous. I paid around $340 or so for VBS1 and the addons, they better send it certified mail, fedex or UPS. Escuse my language but if I don't see this software in another month I'm going to go ape ######.
-
Guys, I ordered this stuf on 3/24 and its 4/22 as of now. Is this normal for USA delivery? It's driving me nuts, especialy all those pics and you guys goin on about your coops lol.... AAAARRRGGG! Oh, and now theres those new movies with actual rubbled buidlings and trucks your passengers can shoot from... I can't take this. Every morning for three weeks I get up and the first thing I do is check the mail box... even before the restroom... all I see are junk mail and coupons... then I get my cup'o coffee and scour the forums for info on VBS1 or new pics from you guys. Hopefully it'll be there tommarrow, friday's the last week day of this week and I'll be waiting all weekend for monday to come so I can check an empty mailbox and I hate mondays.
ok, rant over, whew.
-
AH! Looks great guys, keep'em comin
-
Nice, thanks a ton hotshot
Looked like that guy was tryin to crawl up your ###### while you where running LOL!!! Guns look sweet, I'm liking those models.
I'll have to do some persuading but theres also two other clans that my clan play with online, a couple of those guys are getting interested as well.
I'm pushing pretty hard to get them to buy it but they want to wait to see if I'll like it. I'm pretty sure that I will.
thanks for taking the time to post some pics and that video
p.s. THREE MONTHS?... arrrgggg! Every morning I've been getting up and checking the mail... to find nothing but coupons and junk mail in the box
-
well darn, I'll have to put some work into one I suppose. Back to the drawing board.
Too Many Firewalls Problem
in Virtual Battlespace series
Posted
I apreciate all the help fellas, but after alot of tinkering and thinking I've come to the conclusion that I will probly not mess with this any longer...
It's become a headach and seeing as how I can still play online with you fellas through sockets, its not that big of a problem. I can live with this for the time being.
