Yes, it is...

See screenies.

Not irrefutable evidence, but if you want some other piece of evidence 
that's reasonable then let me know. No trickery either. The server was set 
up as a Internet server as per normal and he connects via the local machines 
IP, not external.

>> If so that's why. You can't have a Internet enabled server and LAN

>> you can connect.

>> It's LAN  or Internet not both.

>> Hi all,

>> When

>>
>> I can connect to other internet servers fine, and as I said before, I can

>>
>> I've tried disabling all port forwarding on the router, and starting the
>> server with '+set dedicated 1' to play ONLY on the LAN with no success.
>> I've tried fiddling with the net_ip settings in the config file, and the
>> command line also to no avail.
>>
>> Anyone else see this issue occurring?  Anyone know how to fix?
