trying to get two players online from same internet connection.
hello im trying to play online with my brother at the same time. but when one of us clicks multiplayer and starts scanning for servers to join the other person gets disconnected.. and it doesent give any error it just sits there saying connection interrupted. we are each useing a different cd key.
i went into the Q3 config and changed my net port and it didnt help. i also disabled Pb for both computers.
what else should i try?
and thanks!
net_port?
net_qport

i will ask my brother how he fixed it and i will tell u u can add me on msn ( ) than i will tell u all
happy fragging
no, net_socksPort has nothing to do with the issue. however, it seems that net_qport hasn't anything to do with it either: it's randomized each time you start q3. try setting different net_port values then. you can do it using one of the following:
-add new/or edit existing line with net_port in in your q3config.cfg (both the one located in baseq3 folder and the one in excessiveplus folder of each your q3 client), for example seta net_port 27960
for client of yours and seta net_port 27961
for your brother's client;
-specify it in the command line, like this:
quake3.exe +set fs_game excessiveplus +set net_port 27960
.
i'm not sure if it will solve the issue, but it's worth trying.
i added you hypersnake and sent you a message.. thanks for the help too..
i had already changed my netport.. i think i changed the number only slightly.. i dont understand what it is or does..
this is what i changed in the q3config.cfg
seta net_socksPort "1081"
not sure if that was what i was supposed to change or not.
but it didnt work.
