So, I use the start server function on the menu to start a server, and put the map as Missle War 2.3 as I saved it earlier. Then I connect, and everything is good.

But, I have another computer connected on ethernet through a router. There are wires connecting them. I used to be able to start a server on one, and then play a one-on-one game. But now the other computer completely can't find the server at all. I tried it with random map too and it doesn't work at all.

What's the problem?

For the first case, you'll have to edit the map and include an option block with the correct player count, or else the map will fail to load. Something like: For the second thing, make sure your firewall isn't blocking bzfs. Also, make sure you are using the private IP address of the computer running the server. If you use the computer name, it likely won't connect.

Thanks.

The bzfs option was blocked.

I'll add the players block, thanks.
