Connect chat window

Hey all,

As soon as I establish a connection with someone over the internet, it will say found client and start the connection then send me to the chat window and within a second, disconnect me for some reason. I'm not sure what to do. I have tried versions 1.42, 1.36 and 1.337.

Has this happened to anyone before?

Connection specs, system specs, firewalls?, routers?. Are you both using the same version?

There are no firewalls, 1.5mbps DSL connection, homebuilt PC...1.6 P4, 1.5GB Ram, 80GB HD, Radeon 9600XT, Win SP2....Yes, I am using the same version as others. I just started trying zbattle and thats the people I am connecting to. It works fine on a LAN or on Hamachi...its when I am using the internet, it has some problems

sounds like your dsl modem is acting as a router/firewall

check the documentation for it or visit portforwarding.com for more info

also windows xp sp2 firewall is probably causing problems

ok, I got the chat window thing fixed, it was just a person who didnt have them same rom as me and would exit, now comes another that I cant figure out.

I have port 7845 forwarded on incoming and outgoing of my router. I am using Netgear DG834G ADSL router. I have no firewall whatsoever on XP or my router. I have both of them disabled. I am running other programs that are using other ports such as remote desktop, FTP and a Counter Strike server. I have no problems with these and others can access them.

I go to zbattle and find a person to play with and we connect and everything is going good. It says found client, then the chat comes up and game begins to load. The game comes up and within a second, it ends up freezing. I have followed that step in FAQs where it said to change the save directory to something else. I have done that and it did not change anything. I have tried different people and no luck. We are always using broadband for connection. I have tried to let the other person host and no luck there either. I'm not sure what else to do, as I have read through the forum trying to find an answer. Any clues?
