I was hoping someone could help me figure out why one PC is unable to connect to my local server. Using the V.5 Deathwings Madness Repack.

I have 4 PCs that connect to play. 1 PC connects to my external IP with no problem. 1 PC runs the server and connects fine to the server using the 127.0.0.1 IP. The last 2 PCs are on the local network and use the servers router address, 192.168.1.100. Now one of the PCs connects with no issues, the other connected fine but now receives the message "unable to connect, try again later" immediately after entering UN PW.

Anyone have this problem before or an idea where to look for fixing the issue? I did some searching around and most of what i find is about not being able to connect to the realm after login.

Thanks for any insight into fixing it.

Try to use http://whatismyip.org/ ( your IP )

and make sure that the firewall of the HOST server is either off or enable the required ports

authentication port 3724

world port 8085

I'll try that. I for sure have my ports forwarded (checked with canyouseeme.org) and made exceptions with the Windows firewall. I will try and disable the firewall and see if that will allow the connection. Thanks for the suggestion.

While the firewall can sometimes be a problem (especially back when I had AVG, the thing hated private servers), you might have an IP typed in wrong. Or, if the server is public, then it might be the wrong IP to use. I'm not sure which one would be the proper one, if that is the problem, but did you follow any tutorial to help you set it up? If so, or even if not, I'd recommend looking one up to make sure everything is correct, along with the IP's.

If that still doesn't work, then try this:

I honestly don't think that would fix it, but it is possible.

Hopefully, one of our solutions is the proper one and will help you fix the problem.
