"A NetPlay window is already open!" Error

[davidvkimball]

Hey friends,

Can you please help me?

I'm getting this stupid "A NetPlay window is already open!" error that is completely nonsensical.

Stuff I've tried:

- Ending all processes of Dolphin
- Restarting my PC, multiple times
- Using a different version of Dolphin
- Playing a different game
- Turning off Windows Firewall
- Turning off Windows Defender
- Hosting
- Connecting
- Traversal Server
- Direct Server
- Updated my router
- Updating my PC
- using TinyWall

Absolutely nothing works and it's been the most frustrating experience ever. I was told something was wrong with my ports?

I've had shaky experiences with netplay in the past, but this is the first time I've just been straight up unable to connect for no reason.

Any, and I mean any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
