Re: [H] Need help troubleshooting some really weird network problems

Actually, there is another thing I forgot to mention. the 5.x.x.x address is my Hamachi address. I turned off Hamachi to see if that fixes any of the other problems. Tbird has an address of 10.0.1.1 from the router and Media 10.0.1.2 -- Brian Weeden On 10/17/07, Ben Ruset <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

First thing that jumps out at me is why your PC is dhcp'ing a routable address (5.159.128.140). Your router should have a public IP and a private IP, and all of your workstations should get private IP's. Brian Weeden wrote: Moved into the new house a couple weeks ago and got my network setup a

Actually I just figured out that while the game is running it makes a running.ini file which doesn't get deleted when it crashes. That is what defaults the settings. Deleting running.ini before relaunching the game preserves the settings. Of course it still crashes every 10-15 min, almost always

Hmm I've not had any crashes, but in any case, you do not need to reset all your stuff. Look for bioshock.ini and user.ini where the game saves them.. Mine are under c:\documents and settings\username\applications\bioshock. Make copies of those files, like user.bak and bioshock.ini and you

Just started playing yesterday and while it's cool I am getting crashes to the desktop every 15min or so. What's worse is that every time it does it loses all configuration settings - I have to go back in and reset the key mappings and audio/video settings. Really annoying. -- Brian Weeden
