LAN, impossible to start a server ?

[Gorbi]

Hi all, i love this game and i want to organize LAN but I am having problems starting a server. When i click on "Start", 5 seconds after that the server is stopped. Looks like something is blocking...
I tried to switch off my firewall and select public or private network but same result.

Anyone else having the same problem?

Please help me Lizzard4000 :D

Hi!

This is very weird...
The Server should ask you for Admin rights, is it getting them? Are you an Admin?
Are you sure you have no Anti-Virus program running in the background?

Hi !
I have no message about admin rights. I'm admin of my PC yes.
I have Avast but i tried to disable avast and the windows firewall but i have the same problem.
I dont understand what is wrong :/

Please help me. I tried the same manipulation on another PC and have the same result...

Hi!
Skype or the Dropbox client can cause problems, try to disable them.
Also in the folder "deploy/bin_Win32_xp" there is the file PhotonServer.config, replace it with my edited file: www.ratzinstagib.com/_data/PhotonServer.config

i hope this helps

Skype and Dropbox shutdown => same results
With your PhotonServer.config => the same

Have you got any other solutions ?

The problem is that i did not develop the Server.
The Network framework is done by exitgames.com.

I'll try to find a solution, but it can take a while. I tested the Server on multiple PCs and i never had any problems, so it's quite hard the debug this : /
