Greetings,

We tried the local host IP, 127.0.0.1 and here is what we got.

Copied from friend's puter:

So, whats up? Is this normal?

Oh yeah, and the networking device on this computer is part of the motherboard. Can't switch them out.

It seems you can't assign a static IP to that computers network card..
By a new network card and disable the built in one.

Oops, its the one that is working that is hardwired. The store bought pci slot Linksys network card is the one that isn't working, that is the one on my friends. Guess we shouldn't buy from Walmart.

This may sound silly but how old is that NIC?? Have you been to www.lynksys.com to check on updated drivers and such?

 

[DeaJae]

if its one of those PCChips all onboard ones, there should be a jumper assembly to disable the onboard network card. also try to use the same brand of network cards on a network, some brands prefer to use IPX as base, especially the cheap ones.

Greetings,

Nah, its the one that isn't built in that is messed up. The built in one is the one that works. For some reason the non-built in one works fine over IPX games, like Half-life, but doesn't work over UT. It can't even ping itself. The built in one can ping itself. The only thing I can think of is to get another card for the computer that is having problems and try it out. If that still doesn't work the I guess we are screwed. It seems odd that the card would just so happen to have a bad TCP connection but a working IPX, but it happens, I guess.

All the PCI slots on my computer, the one with the built in card, are filled so I can't get a network card for this one, and besides it can ping itself which leads us to beleive that it's TCP connection works.

All I want is to play some UT.
