The host should not be sending you his .trn file. You send him your .2h file, he sends you YOUR .trn file back. That's it. You don't need his .trn to play your turn.

I assume the game was created correctly? In other words, the host put your pretender file and his pretender file into /newlords, did Create New Game, and sent you the resulting .trn?

Also, BuayaDarat is correct, no one should ever send the ftherlnd file. It stays with the host.
