For sum reason it wont let you connect on the hosting machine. But other computers on the same LAN should be able to connect.

yep... his right... but you could have just asked me

127.0.0.1 does work

The reason it dosn't work is because of the damn port settings... with 127.0.0.1 (localhost) it's a random assigned 'mask' port (makes the app think it's using the port but realy isn't) but with a normal ip, there is no way of 'cheating' the port system like that...

Note: one pc can only ever open 1 same port at a time (eg. port 2135 is open... well it can't open a second 2135)

Try putting your LAN ip in your client (.exe thing to start hb)
