thats my WAN IP by the way, and i know its correct, and i know a player needs to connect to the WAN IP to play a Qnet game.

It's hard to debug network connection problems. There was some kind of error sending a response back to the player after they connected to the server - although I don't know why this should happen. The "User 0 disconnected" is a bit concerning as well, as there shouldn't even be a user with an ID of zero!

there is a possability it has nothing to do with quest. im on a router, so all 6 computers share the same IP, this could be the cause of it. but then again, it did work once before, Shadow connected to me, but then it stopped working, its kind of weird lol. you will have to look into it, try and connect to me one time, or something, just to see what the problem could be.

It could well be the router that's the problem. Presumably you have a local IP address within your network - does that work instead?

yeah my local ip works, but obviously nobody can connect to that one.

the problem was, was that i need to connect to my local IP, and not to my wan ip.
another problem, is that when a player disconnects, Questnet still thinks that the ID is being used, and gives an error message saying....
Error outputting data to 1: Server Message: hahaha

Not sure why QuestNet isn't detecting the player disconnecting - in my tests it manages without problems. I suppose if it ever gets an error sending a message though, that should indicate a disconnection, so I'll add that facility.
