Ok, I have 3 PCs at work. I installed my copy of Starshatter on 2 of them, just to explore multiplayer on a LAN environment.
Obviously both installations were patched to 4.03 level.[8D]

All multiplayer games work in this network, even half life or the ageing Calto Power 2.

I could host or join a starshatter game in any of the 2 stations (wich are new computers).

In what concerns firewalls, we have none for the Network itself, but there is on physical one between the ADSL box and the computer. A cable leaves from the computer to the router, where all staions are connected.
All stations are independent, all stations can connect to the Internet, and all stations can play multiplayer games that support LAN.

I must unfortunately conclude that this is another Multiplayer Bug with Starshatter.
I hope this is seen and corrected for the upcoming release.

For the lawyers, I have unistalled the 2 copies of SS from the company's computers.

Please take a look at all these annoying multiplayer problems.
Thanks in advance,

Oh no!
I hope that in my LAN I won't have this problem, I'll test it.

Besides that, it maybe compatibility problem, what OS have you got on yours PC? Sometimes playing online between XP and 98 is a problem.

Both stations were on windows XP pro, both are new computers and SS plays fine.
Only MP doesn't work.
Other MP games such as Starfleet comand, Fighters Anthology, Call to Power II and others, work correctly in that LAN.
So it is definately a SS MP issue. [:-]
