i have done everything i can think of.
can someone please stir me in the right direction.
every time i try to host, my oponent gets a failed connection

Mr Lover.....or do we call you Heiny,

Can ya do me a solid and give up some info on your system......Router/Vista/xp.... yada yada There's a laundry list of things ya need to check/configure but knowing what you're running might shorten it.

i have a linksys wrt54g router, xp pro, avg, zone alarm pro.
my router is still configured for links when i played a year and a half ago and i had no problem then when i played in the lspn lobby.
i tried disabling avg and zone alarm, but still no luck.
have the port settings changed for links.


i was just looking at my router ports and my ip has changed.
thats probaly the problem.

thanks for the reply.

I have the same router.......no doubt if your IP has changed all your settings are moot....Change to match the new addy and you'll be good to go

I love heinys

get a room, you guys. (8

You could try using Port Tiggering insteat of Port Forwarding on the router. Port Triggering allows the ports to be opened for any local address.

I have same problem now that I have Vista. I can host IP so obviously ports not a problem, cant host from lobby but can join tho the start button doesnt seem to be active for the host. Again, I can join IP and play games fine. And I can host IP and play fine.
Is there a Vista setting that is not allowing me to host from lobby ? Anyone else running Vista that can host ? Did you have to do anything !?!? Thanks.

Look for the Registry Key....

"DonTAlloWDoBBertoHosTinLSPNbecauseHeSAPliCK.dll" and delete it.

I am having this same problem. I have a D-Link router what ports do I need to open for Links 2003 Thanks
