Are you running NWN Diamond Edition?
Soul Sojourner:
Mcafee? I feel sorry for your computer. :P
That's sucks titty about your fps. Khad might be on to something with the GoG idea, but that obviously means spending more dough.
As for your connection problems, double check your firewalls, and if you have a router (of course you do) make sure to correctly port forward through your router for the machine you desire to host with.
As for quick switching, I don't know anything about that, but a decent keyboard and mouse won't cost a whole lot and having a spare will prove helpful a thousand times over, in the case of a monitor, however, you'd have to be willing to dish out at least a moderate sum, unless you know someone or a place where you can pick up old monitors for free/cheap.
If you lived nearby I'd be more than willing to give you all three, I've got all kinds of spare shit, lol.

That's why I need to know if he's got Diamond Edition, which is the same edition GOG sells; if he does then all he'll need is to replace the CD Key(s) in the INI with his own...I'll see if I can seed a torrent of it; seeing as he would have already bought that version of the game...I think of this as a 'fix' that Bioware should have done. ^_^
I know for a fact that NWN and NWN Server will work just fine on a Win7 Pro [64] machine; you'll even see the server in the Gamespy list...so long as it's on port 5121 (default port)...not sure why. I changed the server port in the INI to 5122 and it didn't show up...soon as I changed it back to the default port it showed up; must have missed a '5121' reference somewhere......oh well not like I'd be running more than 1 Server at any given time.
My router's a NETGEAR Router WNDR3700 forwarding port 5121 [UDP] on IP 192.168.1.100
420:
OK I think I fixed the problem with running nwserver.exe on my new computer. I forwarded the NWN ports to my router and it seems to have worked like a charm. I'll need some people to test it though. Strange that I had to forward ports on our Win 2K machines but not on our Win XP machines.

If anyone can just check to see if they can log in and post some feedback it would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

EDIT: Just found this on the GOG NWN forums discussing the low frame rate on newer nVidia cards:
--- Quote ---There's a beta release v280.19 available now, and it has solved the problem for me (GTX570).

Looks like I'll be back up an running soon. Gotta finish that final (9th) Purple Dragon quest.
420:
Update, I can confirm that the v280.19 Beta drivers for the GeForce fixes the FPS issue in NWN that occurs with 400 and later series cards. My FPS went from average 13 to average 70. Apparently a lot of games that use an older version of OpenGL benefit from this new beta driver.
Also had an issue with getting nwserver to save the settings I use, so I had to edit the nwplayer file manually but it worked.
The last issue I think I have is to get a new Sound Blaster so I can enable the cool sound options in NWN and Diablo 2.

EDIT: It's nwplayer not nwconfig. Fixed.
