Thanks for replying. Checked with the network guys here at work and they not only will allow me to run it they want to join in on my server. The machine is a registered machine with dns so it gets an actual address no port forwarding needed. I have tried it on an XP machine and it did exactly the same thing as the windows 7 box. I just cant figure out why you can connect but then nothing loads when you launch to space. It works fine on the LAN but not the WAN.
You can connect to it if you want to test it…its called felix 141.142.222.119 password is felix. its running discovery 4.85 i tried it without any mods and the same thing would happen.
Is there something that gets loaded when you launch to space that could be getting blocked?
I have disabled ipv6 to see if that is the problem.
thanks for the help.
