Ok this is bloody frustrating....I have several shortcuts I use for logging in as player....for example....
passwords edited out
C:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\lua.exe parselog.lua
C:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\nwmain.exe +connect 67.82.237.177:5123 +password **spoiler**
- player logon - doesnt work - gets server has timed out....
C:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\lua.exe parselog.lua
C:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\nwmain.exe +connect blackdagger.net:5123 +password **spoiler**
also fails - same error
C:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\lua.exe parselog.lua
C:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\nwmain.exe +connect avlis.blackdagger.net:5123 +password **spoiler**
also fails - same error...
replace any one of those with the other port numbers and they fail - without fail they fail...same is true for DM shortcuts....
however...i get the following...

so i can find the IP on the net but no entering those numbers in any combination logs me into Avlis...none of my shortcuts have changed (with the exception of creating the ones with the new IP address) in over a year...I have installed no software - am not burdened with any detectable spyware - viruses - trojans etc....I use a software firewall behind a router and have a dynamic IP...
any ideas? or is my life on avlis now restricted to reading the forums....
