    Hi all,

    When trying to connect to a server on my network i get this in the output of the terminal

    [2043] Connecting to 192:168
    Error sending outgoing packets: Invalid argument
    Error sending outgoing packets: Invalid argument
    Error sending outgoing packets: Invalid argument
    [2203] Connection to server failed.
    [2203] Connection to server failed.
    [2203] Connection to server failed.

    i am trying to connect to 192.168.85.251:50301 which is what i have in the client.

    I am running fedora 15 x64.

    It seems it may not be picking up the .'s correctly and thinking they are : ?

    i can connect to servers fine using the browser

    Client created
    [6562] Connecting to 63.237.124.75:8111
    Client: Connected to foreign host 4b7ced3f:8111.

    Which leads me to believe this is a bug :)

    Hi SimmyD, welcome!

    This is a known issue. The problem seems to be that the master server gets confused when two of the same IPs are interacting with it. So to run a server in which you want connect locally, you have to do this:

    In /kag/base/scripts/dedicated_autoconfig.gm, add the following line:

    global sv_require_auth = 0;

    This removes the requirement of connecting players authorizing with the master server first. Then you can connect by typing your local address as you have tried. The server list will still not work as it will still be confused. The server is still listed there, and others can connect via the list... just not anyone on your lan.

    Sadly, doing this will also prevent us kag guards from protecting your server from griefers / hackers as we will no longer have our booting powers on a server that doesn't require authorization. Hopefully this will be resolved at some point.

    Hope this helps!

    Hi SirSalami :)

    Thanks for the fast reply. I am not sure how this will effect the ip address my client is trying to connect to (as those outputs were from my client not the server) but i will give it a crack when i get home tonight and report back how i go.

    Cheers,

    Simon

    Still no good. It does seem to be an issue with the client as its not even getting the right ip address to connect to hence the 192:168. its not looking at the "." properly. And again it works if i connect to a random server in the browser section.
