Why am I unable to have two players playing in a network game?

Hello all,

I have been trying to get two players playing in a network game and I am getting this error code.

I have followed the third person shooter tutorial by unreal for networking and my game works great in the editor.

I cannot get two clients with a .exe though.

I think I got the client opening a listen server while I am in game by calling: open Example_Map?listen -game

When I try to connect though, I get this in my log:

if you guys have any idea of what the resolution fail is please let me know.

Thank you!

You appear to have a typo in your call on the client to open the right ip address.

127.0.01 ← is missing a . and should be 127.0.0.1

I think the DNS resolver is trying to find the address as a string (like www.google.com) because the IPv4 format is incorrect A.B.C.D.

Ah I see the mistake. Thank you! When I tried this though, I still have no luck :frowning:
It seems to be making a server and the other tries to find it, but doesn’t give an error now, they just don’t connect. If you have any ideas that would be great!

Here are my two log files of the games:
1.The first one starts the listen server
2.Tries to join but nothing happens.

Can’t seem to place the log as a attachment as it gives me an invalid file type(though I am unsure why a text file would be invalid)
I will post pictures of my log below instead with the listen and then the client.

Here is the second part:

and client trying to enter 2: Sorry about the spam but I have been stuck on this problem for over a week and I can’t add anything into the game until I can test it on a .exe
