Important Note: Make sure that the properties of your Orion Pirates
desktop shortcut shows the Target of your game pointing to the StarfleetOP.exe
file and that the Start In path is correct for your game install directory.

It means to check the "properties" of your SFC OP shortcut.

The "Target" box should point to something like "C:\Program Files\Taldren Software Inc\Starfleet Command Orion Pirates\StarFleetOP.exe" <- Notice the StarfleetOP.exe at the end, SFCOP.exe is the one that gives grief with keyboards etc.
and
the "Start in" box should have everything in the Target box except the StarFleetOP.exe at the end (still needs end quote and the \)

And I take it that we might be wanting to welcome you back to playing someday soon here?

Man, I was wondering what that was. Thank you.... and maybe.

Well then, let me be the first to welcome the esteemed Rolling Pin (and it's honorable user) back to these parts, hopefully to stay a server or 3...

Thank you, but I have this teeny, tiny problem...

<------ FIREWALL!!!!!

Julin Eurthyr · « **Reply #5 on:** October 13, 2005, 06:47:15 pm »

Hardware (router) or Software?

Rolling · « **Reply #6 on:** October 13, 2005, 06:50:03 pm »

I guess router. I went to this virtual server thing and looked up Starfleet Command, added it, put the last digit of my ip number in the lines with the four ports, saved the changes, and it doesn't work.

Julin Eurthyr · « **Reply #7 on:** October 13, 2005, 06:51:50 pm »

Okay, router it sounds like.

Did you see anything for DMZ in there?

Rolling · « **Reply #8 on:** October 13, 2005, 06:57:10 pm »

Nooooooo.... Nothing.

DMZ A virtual zone in the router that is not protected by the Router's firewall. One computer can be placed in the DMZ.

Julin Eurthyr · « **Reply #10 on:** October 13, 2005, 07:07:39 pm »

That's it.

Get the IP address of your computer and put it on the DMZ. Once you're on the DMZ, you should be set to play...

Rolling · « **Reply #11 on:** October 13, 2005, 07:14:05 pm »

I did the DMZ and disabled my Bellsouth Firewall but it's still no good.

Thanks anyways.

Julin Eurthyr · « **Reply #12 on:** October 13, 2005, 07:28:31 pm »

Just for laughs, restart the router, then restart your computer. Sometimes you need to do that to finalize the settings etc.

Rolling · « **Reply #13 on:** October 13, 2005, 07:57:32 pm »

Well... I'm laughing..... ok, not really.... but it was a good try.

What OS are you using?

Rolling · « **Reply #15 on:** October 13, 2005, 08:45:45 pm »

I have:

Windows XP
AMD Athlon XP 1800+
1.54 GHz, 256 RAM
Bellsouth Firewall/Antivirus
Westell modem
Belkin Router
Blue Eyes
Redish going gray hair
Partridge in a Pear Tree

I installed:

SFCOP Patch 2500-2552
opplus 40 models
scripts
sfc 2 directory server updater
SGO5

I have tried opening the ports on the virtual server, enabling the DMZ thingy, disabling the Bellsouth firewall, painting my boobies green and flashing them to the screen but to no prevail.

So, I may be an endless cause.... or a causeless end, either one.

FRA.E.Kehakoul_XC · « **Reply #16 on:** October 13, 2005, 09:34:23 pm »

Ok this may sound odd, but try to enable the XP software firewall, and then disable it again.
I had times when i had to do that in order to get drafted in the dyna, and be able to see and join a game on GS.
IT seems that under some circumstances, the xp firewall gets automaticaly enabled if you you use an external one,without giving XP any urge to report that it did that.

Have you tried just using pasties?

Do you think the ones with the tassles would work better than the jeweled ones, or should I try the flavored melty kind?
