How To Play Behind A Firewall

This "How To" describes the actions needed in order to configure your home network to allow for multiple connections to the game at once.

If you have multiple computers behind a firewall (usually connected via a router) and you want to play multiplayer with two (2) or more of them at the same time, you must ensure the "Client Port" setting for each computer is set to a different value.

Go to your nwnplayer.ini file. You will find this file in C:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\ (default Windows install). Open the nwnplayer.ini file, and look for the "Client Port=" line in the [Profile] section. Change this from the default value of 5120 on each machine.

Each client must be assigned a different port, and you must to stay in a certain range, so use numbers like 5121, 5122, 5123, etc.
