I was just about to start a new thread when I noticed this one. I get a very similar Problem when trying the Chat-Tutorial. Also, with the Pong demo, I have no luck.
In the Chat tutorial's LiteC version, I can start a host, then I start a client, type in "localhost" and then it just sits there and does nothing. Another thing I noticed that even when I start the host, I don't see the character that I chose, I only have the camera sitting just above the ground, like it's still at 0,0,0 without having moved to the position behind the character...
?
