"Game Full" error??

[sol in orbit]

I am unable to get multiplayer working with CTP. I have 2 machines on the same subnet. The machines see each other and can ping. when I start a multiplayer game, each player winds up in their own lobby, instead of a shared lobby. However the other player can see the host game. When they attempt to join the host game they recieve an error message "Game full", even though there is only the host player.

I've rebooted, restarted the game multiple times, but I am stumped. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Thank You

You might want to try clicking on "dynamic join". If that doesnt work, still have it selected, set the game up as normal, add an AI, start the game and have your friend try to join then. Hope that helps.

Thanks for your help. I gave it a go, but no luck. I will fiddle some more. One of the boxes is an NT server, so it could be a security issue. I'll persevere
