Server Problem Created 19 years ago2005-01-04 11:31:56 UTC by Catalin

I ahve a problem , and I think is from my OS(win ME), I can't see on FIND SERVERS task LAN SERVERS, I can see INTERNET SERVERS and others but NO LAN.
So what do you think?What is your sugestion?
By the away I have changed my IP.now if I change it back no results.....
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!

Is your LAN network set up correctly? Does it work on other games?

Try running steam in offline mode and try then .

You wont see any LAN games unless a computer on the network has hosted... You probably know this but just incase...

You didnt make it very clear. Also check your router

Hmm...

Did you make sure to set up your IP correctly (does the LAN itself work?)

Try using NetBios & IPX protocol instead

The LAN works, the IP is fine cose I have internet, I can't see others on LAN servers, I see the INTERNET servers.On LAN if I hoste a game other can join my game.But I don't know abaut that "LAN Network" need2sk8?!?

Can you connect to other LAN games using connect x in the console or +connect x on the commandline?

connect x -
NET Ports: server 27015, client 27005
Server IP address 84.234.105.122:27015
Bad server address

connect 1
retry 1....
retry 1....
retry 1....
......
......
retry 1....

So this is a LAN?

What's your ip?

What's the host's ip?

sometimes if you have 2 different versions of the protocol, you won't be able to start a LAN game - that happened to me with my WinXP laptop and Win98.

But a quick switch to IPX & NetBios solved that :

got it, solved the problem.
I don't know how but my DEVICE MENEGER showed 2 TCP/IP , 2 network adapters, 2 etc.Erased 1 at a time and now is solved.
Thank you verry much

Heh -the old windows classic "I'm gona Echo a device and create conflicts so you think you have a problem but you dont"
