strange....

so you got it on port 10001, and you are connecting to localhost? make sure you got questnet running, lol. make sure both ports are the same, make sure you have a game loaded in questnet. im not trying to make you look stupid, but its that simple. i dont know why else it isnt connecting to your own computer

Not localhost - try "127.0.0.1" without the "'s....

Erm, make sure no firewall is enabled - or if there is that the port is open....

for that room error, all you had to do was goto options and make sure the start room was right :D glad you got it sorted though

This solves the problem I was having too. It was the firewall that was preventing me from connecting. It seems so obvious now but I never thought about it. So thank you. (I guess my other mistake was posting on the QuestNet forum instead of here.)
