TCP/IP problems - can anyone help?

Bummer_Duck said:Almost sounds like you have something trying to use the same port...Or are experiencing network issues. What port are you using? Are you using multiple computers connecting to the same router? Can you check router stats to see if you are getting errors, dropped packets, etc...

Sadly, my router is pretty basic when it comes to logging, and certainly doesn't record those stats. The ports used were, at different times, 2000, 2001, 3000, 3001, 4000, and 65535. I wondered about another app conflicting for those ports, but I can't find any sign of one. I've even downloaded a packet sniffer to see what was going across the network.

The network is a wireless one; 4 PCs and the router/firewall. Signal strengths range from 60% upwards, and no other network apps cause any trouble.

You sure?

Yes.

A firewall wouldn't be much good if it didn't... :-)

They're for blocking unsolicited incoming connections, surely? I've never had trouble connecting to an external Dom2 server through a firewall - I suppose it depends on which one you have.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure the router/firewall is besides the point, considering I'm also having the same trouble on the local network. It most be something on one or both PCs, though I'm running out of ideas as to what it might be.
