I allowed NWN on my firewall when it asked, and after the Oneth problem, i turned it off

(yes Oneth is a word.)

[QUOTE=Magrus]I turned mine off, thinking that was the problem. It times out, regardless, which is what is confusing me. Last year I had no problem whatsoever.

Well - it is more whether or not the host has an "open" firewall, because a timeout indicates that the computers couldn't find each other.
Try pinging each other from the command prompt of windows/dos and see if a ping results in a reply.

Also - if WinXP Service Pack 2 is installed, the firewall in there could be enabled and block incomming traffic for the server as well.....

Actually...I have two firewalls. I forgot to turn off the one from my Linksys router last night. Rum's fault, not mine. SORRY. But that just explains MY problem.

Well, well, well. My friend should be letting me go home tomorrow night, or friday at the latest. So if you haven't figured it out by now, I can help, or attempt to. Sober this time, I hope.
