T_1 Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 As Sart, 2nd Ranger and El Nino know only too well I've had a recurring issue with hosting OPF and keeping my Norton firewall up and running. What I found was the in the Intrusion Protection Section the Autoblock feature was reading the Sockets scan from PC's trying to join me as an attempt to access my PC, which it was, but NIS didn't know that I wanted these PC's to access my PC so I could run a game. The solution was to click the Exclusion button next to the blocked IP's and exclude them from the autoblock feature. Result, Everyone got in using Sockets and mucho funo was had by all.

El_Nino Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Glad you found the problem and solution T! Ggs last night. Sorry my mission turned out to be such a pain. I'll do a little more tweaking and make it available for single player. Guess your solution explains why, combined with the latency problem, I was able to see your server one day but not another.

Pave Low Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Yeah, glad you tracked down the cause My IP is static so shouldn't change, but if any of the others are on dynamic IP's they will need to send/tell you the current one prior to each game. Do you have NIS notifications set to ON ? as that should report each blocked "intrusion" attempt with the IP and details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
