All 3 have legit and unique cd keys/cds
2 pcs are w2ksp4 1 is xpsp2
The xp machine has firewall turned off
TCI/IP is enabled, as is netbios. They are all on the same workgroup, all have access to each other on the lan (file and print sharing is active) and in lan games and they all have the same subnet mask and are on the same ip subnet (standard 192.168.0.x)
The best i can get is my pc and the xp pc on at the same time. I cannot get the other 2k pc and the xp one logged in simultaneously.
All 3 pcs are using different port numbers set in the game options (6112, 6113, 6115) and I did add these ports and the corresponding pc ips to the virtual server part of the router interface although as I said it's fully opened inc and out...the router is a dlink di-704. If it helps the lan accesses the internet via a homeconnect "sharkfin" cable modem.
Oh and the other 2k pc (the one that cannot connect at the same time as the xp machine) is cabled to the router through a plain linksys(?) hub. Could that be causing some kind of problem?
This was not an issue when all 3 pcs were running 2ksp2, if that helps at all.
I've exhausted battle.net knowledgebase
Please help - if at all possible I need this working this week :beer:
Thanks
