Cannot connect to Netplay host - PNSee - 12-28-2013
Hi,
Having some problem while trying to play Super Smash Bros Melee online. When I try to connect someone, Dolphin hangs for a few seconds then crashes or showing "Disconnected" message (altrough I know that my partner is hosting right now). How to fix that?
(I'm using Dolphin 4.0-648)

Are you both following the Netplay Guide (https://dolphin-emu.org/docs/guides/netplay-guide/)?
Also, are you both using the same ISO?

I have the same issue as him.
In Dolphin 4.0.2, I set the port, forward it and give my friend the IP address. Works, except that we get constant desyncs in Brawl.
In the DC-Netplay branch 4.0-652 it seems to have a new Netplay menu which gives a random port, ok fine I forwarded every single port for this and gave my friend my details in the style of IP
ORT.He gets the "disconnected" message, neither does the ID method work. Though now if I give him my Hamachi IP
ORT instead he can connect, we played for 4 hours with no desyncs but we have to suffer the added latency of hamachi.

Try running the latest dev build (4.0-561 as of this writing), and make sure that you both have the same ISO and have dual core mode turned off
RE: Cannot connect to Netplay host - XSFOX - 12-29-2013
Can't speak for TC, but I'm using the Dual Core Branch for a reason. (You may understand the issue here better if you were to try it's Netplay function as it's different from the main branch.)
Like I explained above in my case, neither is the ISO the issue.

. I happened to play some Melee online on older Dolphin version. I don't know what could be possibly wrong.And yes, we're using the SAME DC-Netplay Branch.
RE: Cannot connect to Netplay host - ExtremeDude2 - 12-29-2013
But are you using the same revision in that branch?

Is the host port forwarding and allowing Dolphin through the firewall simply not enough in this branch? Am I missing something?
RE: Cannot connect to Netplay host - JMC47 - 12-29-2013
Some routers work incorrectly with the UDP port breaking scheme. This branch is a branch because it's still being worked on and not 100% reliable.
RE: Cannot connect to Netplay host - XSFOX - 12-29-2013
Alright I see, that's probably it in my case.
Will say though 4.0-430 dc-netplay with the old Netplay GUI works fine for me meanwhile.
