I have been playing TibSun for over 5 years without any connection problems. Approx 4 weeks ago my HD crashed. I have replaced the HD, installed XP Pro, and have TibSun running under windows 98 compatibility mode. I am going through a Lan with a router. I have all the ports open that the game requires, of course these ports were prior to xwis. Every game I play is a hit or miss on whether I or others load together. I know of one user, if he or I hosts, we do not load together. If someone else host, we load fine. I have reinstalled the game over a dozen times with no changes. Any help or suggestions would be great, it is really starting to get annoying to me and others in the game.
