Doomsday Engine

So whenever I try to start a network game over tcpip,
my computer thinks a second then in the console I get
an error "N_ServerOpen: Failed to host [80158185]"
then on the next line "Error 'net' failed". The thing is it
worked a few times with the heretic demo and ultimate
doom. Then next time I tried it it I got errors. So i did a
fresh install of doomsday but still nothing. After getting
no where for a while I reinstalled it again and it worked
a couple times. I think its a bug, I reinstalled DirectX 9,
but still nothing. Im not much of a programmer but it
seems DirectPlay just isnt working. dpnsvr does come up
in processses though.

Ideas?
