When I host a LAN game, noone can connect. No matter how many AIs are selected for the game, it displays as 1/8. The map name reads as "WLAR8_MAP_NAME." I have uninstalled and reinstalled. I have no issue joining other peoples games on the same network.

Error message when people try to join: "The game you are trying to connect to has been cancelled."

I have no security software and the windows firewall is disabled. Thanks for any help.

System
AMD X2 4200+
2 Gb of ram
Geforce 7900
Windows XP SP2

when you press Lan did you press TCP IP or IPX?

i think the string you are reffering to is "MP08WALR_MAP_NAME"
sounds to me like your loader hasn't kicked in. Please attach your \FOData\Temp\LogLoader.txt file

Have you tried to install fleet operations in a CLEAN directory? not over an existing armada2 installation? sounds like me fleet operations uses an preexisting stock armada2 configuration file. Then just uninstall and reinstall in a new directory

I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling into a clean directory. Here's the logloader.txt file.

I've changed the map, number of players, and settings galore. Every other game I play on a lan works: Counter-strike source, dawn of war, command and conquer, etc.
