Okay change your kaiNIC to the one in your computer i.e. kaiNIC=3+. Also you say yes you have a force port, but yet in the kai config you have the Kai port set to 0. If you are using a port forward, change the Kai port to the open port i.e. 30000 and leave the Kai deep port at 0. Report back when done.

Only thing wrong there is you should be saying kaiNIC = 2+ (which he has already done). Computers begin counting from 0, and so do we Smile

Follow the other instructions though (about the missing number in the Kai Config. Tool)

Okay well why cant we just change the damn kaiNIC to a name like it is instead of a number. Evil or Very Mad

Oh Funk - someday you'll learn how to write code and it will all make sense.

The number values are much easier to read and parse into integers, which can then be used as variables. If we were listing every different NIC you'd have to create routines to parse every possible NIC name in the world and convert it to a variable or property.

Would you like this task?

Yes I know the numbers start with a Zero. Confused
