Can't assign requested address - ZOMG help please?

[ZOMGTom]

Hello everyone.

From what I can see so far, FoF looks like a great project. So far, however, I've been unable to actually play the game, so I suppose you would take that with a grain of salt.

I can start the game fine, but it fails when I try to begin playing. The error is within the game itself: "Can't assign requested address." I've attached the log.

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "MainMenu.pyo", line 99, in harness
  File "MainMenu.pyo", line 131, in newSinglePlayerGame
  File "GameEngine.pyo", line 260, in startServer
  File "Server.pyo", line 33, in
  File "Network.pyo", line 178, in
  File "asyncore.pyo", line 304, in bind
  File "<string>", line 1, in bind
error: (10049, "Can't assign requested address")


Obviously for some reason the game is having trouble creating a socket but I have no idea why. It does this with any version of FoF, but I'm currently running 1.2.451. I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate with the latest nVidia drivers from their site, and I've got a GeForce 8800 GTS 640mb graphics card, so I don't really anticipate any major graphical slowdowns. If only I could actually get the game to run.

Oh, and I've tried running the game as Administrator (though I have UAC turned off so that shouldn't be an issue) and in every compatibility mode combination that I could think of.

Any ideas?

You may have to disable your firewall while playing FoF.

I don't have a firewall enabled. Windows Firewall is off.

Anyone? ):

Well, I'm no expert, but it looks like something with network or server settings. Maybe it's trying to dial into a port for whatever bizarre reason?
