Connecting?

[RickyRombo]

I followed DizzyDoo's amazing video tutorial number 2 and right away I couldn't get the connecting... string to change to connected. I can't connect to localhost. I'm not even sure if I can connect to other networks, is there anyway to troubleshoot this in internet options or the server page or some such thing?

Are you running the server before you try to connect?

[RickyRombo]

how would I do that? I'm new (obviously) to this networking stuff. I'm using a wireless internet with a laptop connecting to a linksys - if that helps.

I don't know the least bit about servers - It might have to do with just my computer, it probably works on others' computers, but then how do I test it?

[Looki]

Just run the server exe that comes with it. You'll be able to connect to "localhost", or "127.0.0.1" on port 6121.

[RickyRombo]

Oh, yeah. I have the "Start of Frame" > Connect to "localhost" on port 6121.
And then "On connect" blah blah blah.

Is that what you mean? Or what server exe?

[James]

It has to have something to connect to. If you look in the OINC.zip you downloaded, there should be a file called "OINC_Server.exe" under the Server folder. Run it, and then connect to localhost.

Oh. I didn't download the right one maybe because I don't have that. Thanks!

EDIT: I did, but I guess I didn't extract everything! *Slaps face*
