Problem opening my mod in DM client

Got a bit of a problem, I can't open a module in the DM client. I've entered DM Client > New Internet/LAN game> picked module> Load> Select premade character. Then I get:

Attempting to find server.
Connection to server has failed.
Server is not responding (timed out).

Seeing as the mod is on my computer, I thought I should be able to actually open it with no problems. I have before...

What am I doing wrong?!

You loaded it into the NWN Server first right? (though you might not need to do this)

Looks to me that your computer can't find itself. I suggest a psychologist.

I don't think I need to load it to the NWN server... Its only for making items in for here, but I can't load any module in the DM client, Demo's or otherwise... Avlis seems okay though.

As for psychiatrists. They only want to know why?! I still have to find the answers!

Does the same thing happen if you create a new character?

Yes

I've even restarted my pc in the vain hope that it would sort things out... No such luck *sighs*

What kinda mod did you make to create the keys?

its an inn interior, 2 x 2 squares. no other objects apart from custom items made in the wizard. I've also got a city exterior mod which I've been playing around with and that doesn't open either. Though both open with pc's and are playable.

Hmm when i've created keys for importing before I just used the CEP starter mod, imported the erf's, build and saved as yaddayaddakey.mod
maybe a stock mod might work.

EDIT So if you make the items then export them and import back into a fresh mod that may help

Click Advanced Options after you have picked the module, uncheck "Post game to Internet" if it is checked, see if it works?

Still no luck,

Even unchecking "post to internet" doesn't have the desired effect.

*gives up*

Thanks Hamlet for helping me out!

If I need to import things (which is rare), I import them into a basic module, run that with a copy of my DM avatar as a PC (copy it to localvault) and pick it up with that. Save character, quit, copy the avatar back to dmvault and there you are.

Much easier than trying to run a module properly. However, if you want to do it that way and then login as DM to it, I think you need to uncheck the 'load to Internet' option and maybe specify your localhost as the IP. Not done much of that, so I am not too sure of the details.
