Issues with PoFV Adonis
« on: August 09, 2010, 06:45:25 PM »
Me and a friend have been trying to get netplay on PoFV for a while now. No matter who hosts, the host always gets "Port x is on hold" after they put in a port number. I wasn't sure if this meant the port was closed or reserved for PoFV, but when the client tries to connect it always says "Application failed to play. Failed to communicate" and their window closes. We've tried using Hamachi IPs, too, but I don't think that helps when it comes to the port problem. We even tried the built-in wireless mode and it didn't work either.
I've allowed PoFV through Windows Firewall (I have 7) and Comodo Firewall, and I've even disabled them both, and it still doesn't work. I also tried opening/forwarding the port in my Linksys router and it still doesn't work. A little while ago I tried to get netplay for ZSNES working on my desktop with port forwarding and it still didn't work, and it's directly connected to my router.
I'm sorry if this question has been asked a lot... I've looked through all the topics about this and none of them seemed to help. =\

Have you tried setting both of your computers as the DMZ in your routers?

WOW I AM AN IDIOT.
I forgot to uncheck "Block anonymous requests" in my router. But before I could test it with my friend, he left. I tried it anyway by myself but I thought "Port is on hold" was an error, so I rechecked for security and forgot to uncheck it until now. >_>
We were able to connect, but now there's a new problem. After we set up the latency and players, the game starts on my computer, but not on his. I don't think it's a problem with CPU/RAM usage... are there any other possibilities?

EDIT: Never mind... He had to run adonise under compatibility mode. Sorry about solving this all by myself. At least it works now. =D
