Unexpected RL complications - I had to pause for myself. I will play shortly, within a couple of hours.

Played, and turn rolled.

Molach is blocking me from logging in and I need to sleep, so I'll try to get to my turn ASAP tomorrow morning for everyone who's behind me in a turn split.

You may need to update your hosts file, Azza.

Update!

To simplify his hosting environment, Caledorn will no longer be hosting a NatNeg server, so we ask everybody to start using Zulan's NatNeg server instead. As a bonus, it has considerably better historical uptime. You need to update your hosts file with a new IP address, the new address is 148.251.130.188. See the opening post of this thread for more detailed instructions.

If you don't update your hosts file, you will again start experiencing bounces with everybody. Caledorn's NatNeg server is currently down, and will not be restarted.

Thanks for your understanding!

Ok, I have the mod and the information I need from Dhalpir, but I'm not sure how to connect to the game-- I have no Direct IP Connection option in my multiplayer menu (running Steam version)

This should help:

You need to opt into a certain version of the game under the Beta settings in the game properties. The link in the post above by Gawdzak should outline it.

I'm being bounced by Harry - I've updated my hosts file, but still can't get through. Edit: resolved.

Hope everything is well with you Q.

Thanks Krill. It looks like it will all be fine after all, but it was touch and go for a while there. (My sister rolled her car on black ice, but is recovering.)

I was able to connect fine to Xenu this morning, so I assume I've got my hosts file working right.

Azza, since we were able to be connected at the same time I expect your settings are correct. Although our NatNeg replacement is awesome it only replaced the previous negotiation server functionality, there may still be times like before where two people can't connect simultaneously for some reason. Or maybe Molach needs to update his hosts file. Or it's possible there is something else in the configuration of your network, or Molach's, preventing a connection, which may be beyond either of your control.
