Gaming over network does not work if the default port (23513) is overridden.
The game stops at line "Waiting for players...".
Lets say that command line parameters looks like:
- on host: duke3d /net /n0 /p8500
- on client: duke3d /net /n0 /p8500 192.168.123.141:8500
It also does not work if there is only the default port after IP address:
- on host: duke3d /net /n0
- on client: duke3d /net /n0 192.168.123.141:23513
It looks like the game does not recognize "address:port" notation!?
If I remove the port numbers, it works fine:
- on host: duke3d /net /n0
- on client: duke3d /net /n0 192.168.123.141
What am I doing wrong?
Does this also happen to others or only to me?
I am runing Windows XP and desired ports are opened.
Thanks for answer.

Re: Overriding the default port does not work !?
I hope I found where the problem is...
JFDuke port does not resolve the "address:port" notation correctly.
It wants to connect to address 255.255.255.255 despite of what is written as IP address, the port is resolved correctly.
