No pass.

Connection refused by the host. What gives?

This is bloody irritating. Hrm. Are you guys behind firewalls?

White Haven wrote:Aaah, that explains it. We're waiting. 3rd, you coming?

Nah, it's probably fucked on my end. Carry on, gentlemen.

No, it's blocking me too.

Alright, let's try another host.

right I'll up a game, though how do I get my IP address. I've never hosted before

How do you connect to the 'net?

Okay, let's try this again.

IP Address: 10.20.1.175
Subnet Mask: 255.255.252.0
Default Gateway: 10.20.3.254

Whichever one of those it's supposed to be. I assumed the one labeled IP Address, but it wouldn't be the first time the computer just wasn't making any sense when it answered what I asked.

Ethernet braodband router

Try Rogues first though

No password this time. Game is up.

Still no good.

...that's a private IP, no wonder we can't connect to it.

I blame the university IT department. As usual. Right, someone else get it.

Rogue, chances are you're running through some assfully-tight firewall or something. 3rd, are you behind a firewall or anything?

can't join

okay Ill set up a game, though can someone tell me how to easily get my IP address.

Alright, as I'm not at the moment behind a firewall of any kind, I'll go back to hosting. Try again, everybody. 67.62.75.36

Hold on. Give me a couple minutes and try again. I'll shut down all the firewalls on the computer. If it still doesn't work in five minutes, then you're getting stopped at the server and there's nothing I can do.

Unless you know how to do proper port-forewarding with that router, Doc, it'll be a pain in the ass.

Rogue's in mine. Hook up, we're good.

Ok, guys, I'm out as this is taking way too long. I had time for one game when we started, but now my bud is here and we're going to play a real game of 40k.

wtf? Im geting 'connection refused by the host'

WTF. Restart your copy of DoW, see if that helps. Jesus, what asshat coded this net system?
