New Player. Serious Connetion Issues

[Blackthorn51]

First off, how is everyone doing?  First time visiting this server and I am -really- looking forward to playing it.  The trouble is, for some reason I can not connect.  I have no trouble connecting to any other servers and it seems this is the only one with issue.  I took the liberty of searching the forums for solutions, finding many similar cases.  I attempted the things suggested, such as cleaning haks, resetting router/computer and all that.  What might be causing this?


Thanks,
Blackthorn

First, welcome to EfU:M! Second, what, precisely, does it say when you fail to connect to the server?

[Blackthorn51]

It says "Server response timed out"  before I even get to character creation screen.

I've cleaned out overrides and haks.  I've also rebooted pc, reset router, defraged the game, changed my ports attempted to direct connect...  Running out of ideas short of reinstalling...  Which I literally just recovered from having to do...  Suggestions?

This is an issue I had, and several other players lately have had.

Go into your NWN directory into the nwnplayer.ini file, go down to where it says Port 5120, and change the number to 5130.

Restart the application, and give it a shot!

[Blackthorn51]

Already gave that a shot.  It didn't have any effect.

Problem Fixed.

You wish to post how you fixed the problem to aid others? (Problem Fixed without details how is one of my pet peeves on forum topics... :-/)
