My roomate's windows xp machine has the norton firewall and the windows firewall disabled. When he runs legacy and tries to do multiplayer as a client, either from launcher, or from in-game, legacy crashes with a "UDP_bind: Unknown error" message. If he tries to make a server, Legacy crashes and pops up a "Doom Legacy Recursive Error" window that is blank. I have the same files on my computer. In fact, I made a fresh folder of legacy 1.4.2 and the doom 2 wad, which I transferred to his computer. I can use it just fine. What could be wrong? the port 5029 is enabled in the firewall as UDP, and as TCP, and the firewall isn't even on anymore!

Why don't you just use Player Connector?

Do you use player connector? It asks you to create an account. You put in a username and password, and it says "could not connect to the server." That's the end of that.
