Yuris revenge LAN trouble

[twistedlink]

This is weird, while at college today me and my friends wanted to LAN game yuri's revenge after a finally got it working, and it networked fine, then on the 2nd time one of my friends computers suddenly came up with "request denied" everytime he tries to join a game, and when he makes a new game none of us see it, yet we see him in the lobby etc so our computers can see he is there.

We have tried re installing yuri's (not RA2 though)
safe mode with networking
compatibility
no patch
with patch


it worked the 1st time and now it randomly doesnt, wtf is going on?

[twistedlink]

while im asking i'll ask this too
I have a file called ra2 and it has a cog on it, im ASSUMING this is the ini file EVERYONE is talking about editing, when i edit mine -sweet FA happens
and i seem to have a LOTTTT less options than everyone else

for example i cant change rank etc, not that itd matter because when i change credit count it doesnt work ANYWAY

Thats what the entire file says, am i in the correct place?

and i personally think there should be more in there

[lilbond]

lol ive used true/visual basic but not that. AHHHH. thats way above my iq level. sry tho

[twistedlink]

lol its not actually that hard editing it, theyre all just values, you just change the numbers after the = sign

unfortunately when i change them (and yes SAVE before exiting so its changed, the game goes back to the original settings ANYWAY)
