Hi,

Me and several friends recenty started trying to play Mayhem on a LAN and we haven't yet been able to get it to work. We all have our firewalls turned off and as I mentioned we are on a LAN.

When one of us hosts a game the others can see the game listed and join but once they have connected, they are the player listed in the player list and the 'waiting' cursor is display for a minute or so. Finally a message saying the host could not be contacted comes and boots them back to the lobby.

Following is an excerpt from the xom.log of one of the computers trying to join a game...
