Cheers jefftec Iam using the correct ip address i go into muit player type ip address in click find and it just keeps coming with the above messagel sounds like your anti-virus is blocking it. If your av software has a list of 'allowed programs', you need to add (i think its) nheat.exe and heat.bin into the allowed list (use your computer search to locate the files by name). To connect online, your computer sends out a 'ping' to the host server (the address you inputted) and will wait for a reply from the server - if your av blocks the incoming reply, you get the 'hostname not found' message. If you tell us what av you're using, i'm sure someone here'll use the same and may be able to assist further. Let us know in any event how it goes please. cheers...........wrighty
The London Allstar Posted August 19, 2009 Report Posted August 19, 2009 More likely to be firewall than anti virus. so make sure you do that aswell
