Discussion Lock: Any
Release: 1.6.1
Operating System: Vista x64
_______________________________________________________
Details:
This was introduced with the 1.6 release. The firewall is off.
Details:
1.I select "Host Networked Game". It starts wesnothd, but the GUI returns a
"Cannot connect to host" error.
2.Process Explorer reveals that it launches wesnothd with a random port
number instead of 15000.
Desired Behavior:
wesnothd should always launch using port 15000 unless the port is already
taken. (The continuously changing port requires me to rewire my router's port
forwarding every launch, so this is a serious usability issue.)
Workaround:
Launch wesnothd externally via the Start Menu shortcut and use "Connect to
Server" instead.
