hmmm. When I fix the problem, I will be able to host, because I can now bypass my router.

hooray!

The foyer is much emptyer without you drisos.
Hope you fix your prob soon.
would be nice to battle again.

I know my friend. I hate this situation as well... I don't know what to find worse - not being able to play while others are having games - or - knowing that because of my absence no one is playing...

I am not going to give up on this game. I can beat the computer!

There is some sign of slight promis BTW.

from what A nother member said.

It seems they were able to log in to the foyer Quite easily when they accidentaly installed Warlord ediiton Over there origional STW folder.
(Mistaing warlord edition for the MI expantion)

Given the fact that the origional shogun suffers no real log in probs wven under XP.
And this chance discovery was made.

I am begining to beleve that there is a file/folder in the origional stw, game directory That is missing or prehaps diferent in WE.
It could even be a registry matter, which could be discoverd quite easily now we have some new data.

With any kind of good fortune.
this will be the case.
and a simple matter of trial and error of adding origional STW files to a nother install of WE could indeed allow us to Distribute the missing file to all who have log in problems.

Alternetavly if its a regestry problem,
A similar trial and error course of action could be taken with adding STW registry strings to the WE registry strings.
This could also be easily distributed.

I am quite exited about this new discovery my self.
But I will try not to get my hopes up about it.

Ok I think I understand... a bit. Hmmmm. I have stw original as well. I will first try installing that, configuring and logging in. Then later you can tell me what to do with the folder and files etc

Don't have time today sadly.. will be friday I think.

Try inctalling origional shogun.
then install warlord edition to the same place.

So it replaces files when it installe.

**Drisos** · 01-25-2006, 17:10

So I pick the shogun original main folder as we installation place?

oki... will try tomorrow or friday.

Yes.
It seems tomi says, Did that by mistake Thinking he had MI, (the expantion)
he seems to have installed WE to the origional shogun foledr like you would do with an expantion.

And he was able to log on to fakeserver.

he then relized his mistake and installed WE again Properly ths time.
He was unable to connect to fakeserver easily with the properly installed WE.

So hopefully if you install WE to the origional shogun folder You 2 will be able to log on with ease.

I recently Deleted the origional shogun from my pc. (the cd's are broken and i have WE any way)
So now i cant go and check which files are difernt :(

Its quite frustrating as i had STW origionall installed for ages n ages.
And have only just deleted it.

If I want to host a game, do I open the ports like this?

...ChatserverPort = 8793
ChatserverPort = 18321...

or like this?

...ChatserverPort = 18321...

**Drisos** · 03-11-2006, 12:17

Hello Shaka,

I'm afraid I don't totally understand. The ports needed for hosting seem to be 8793 and 18321. those two should be openen at router and firewall.

Router will cause more problems then a firewall. You can configure most firewalls easily to allow shogun to have contact with the internet.

If you have a router, and really want to host, there's an easy but fairly expensive way to achieve your goal. Get a looooong usb cable and plug it in your computer, and in your modem. plug out the router, and see if you still have connection. if yes, try hosting a game. It will work, almost certainly.
