hello i was wondering how to play lan on open clonk. i have tried it with my brother but when we try to get in each others servers it says invalid refrence. so we can see each other but we cant join
That noone answered yet is because of the timezone difference - I cannot help at the moment (except saying "it should work" and "check your firewalls") so you will have to wait until the others are up (or even back from work) but I felt like pointing out that it's not because everyone is ignoring you :)
i dont see how the fire wall would be a problem because im connecting a ubuntu pc to and and xp pc. and lan works with all other games.
i dont if its the fire wall because all other games work with lan and its trusted by the fire wall
Err, correct me if I am wrong:
If you have the internet button on, the game is registered at the masterserver with the external IP of his router. Now if his brother wants to join, his brother's clonk tries to connect to his server through the internet but as the ports for clonk are not routed through the router, can't connect. So actually, you just need to press the "Internet" button in the lobby to not register for an online game. Your brother will find you in the LAN and can join. Or, your brother can enter your IP or Windows network name and join directly.

If I am not wrong it registers with every IP it has. Local and external
Indeed, usually the Client tries to join all possible adresses that the host sends to the masterserver, internal and external.
newton i tried doing what you said joining by ip and pressing the internet button but still it did'nt work
sorry i havent replied for a while my internet had stopped working
