But I only get the Message "Connection lost by host" In Servers-list, I see the Hosts, but can't connect. In Firewalls first i opened the Ports, later disabled them, but nothing helps. Thnx, Guenter Top Quote

Perhaps you need to set up port forwarding even in local network ? The connecting computer should of course set up it's firewall as well - perhaps it's not a server sided, but a clientsided connection problem (client uses same ports as host, so...) Often forgotten (even I do sometimes ;)) - Windows (since XP) has it's own crappy firewall, perhpas that one is breaking the connection Hope that helped a bit Cheers Peter Top Quote
