Title: Nightmist Over LAN
Post by Milenia on 08/21/03 at 21:12:00
Right, im trying to run Nightmist on another computer through my LAN, but it never finds the server.
I got a basic ethernet 10/100mbps network, ran thru a 5port hub, and one of the computer acting as the internet gateway. im able to access websites, ftp, msn msger, etc through the current proxy.

Are there any special programs which could open up all the ports, so i can play nightmist over this network?

Thanks in advance...

If you can access ftp and stuff without having to alter any settings, nightmist should work straight off. If you tried today, the server's been down most of the day, so try again now.

I'v ran nm over a lan with more then 1 computer runing it at a time it worked fine no special set up all hooked up to a hub so unless you are runing some wierd set up or a fire wall it should work

Still no luck with it. I'll take the NIC's out and try n see if theres any updated drivers, and re-install the things, and set the network up. and im running a bog-standard everyday setup of internet sharing, and its sharing everything except nightmist

well give us some information on how your network is set up there are lots of ways to set up a network depending on what you use it for so the more information the better also what router and so on

Hardware;
Netgear 10/100mbps ethernet NICs
Netgear 5-port passive Hub (it only within 5 metres of cable)

Software;
None, cept a program to activate the proxy (AnalogX Proxy)

Config;
Basic setting of IP's (Using 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.3)
Config web browser to use proxy (ports 6588,1088,21, etc)
no other config off the top of my head....

System;
Windows ME (XP pro is just irritating)
256/396mb sdram
Host/gateway (1.8ghz P4)
Slave/comp1 (0.8ghz P3)
Using DSL connection for internet, which is installed to the Host, and used as gateway.


Its late, my back hurts, and im tired, dont moan at me if anything is wrong. But can you think of any extra config i need?

assuming the nightmist forum works on the clients?

on a client machine do
start - run - command
type
telnet nm.nightmist-online.co.uk 110

should blank the dos box if it works
try 20000 instead of 110 too
