Cannot set up multiplayer LAN games

[Pathogenic]

With the current version of FAF (1.5.3615), I cannot set up multiplayer LAN games. I am not talking about connecting through FAF, I am talking about connecting directly via LAN. The game will show up on the games list for LAN for the computer trying to connect, but when "join game" is selected, it just hangs, and never actually does connect. It works with 3599, and version 3610 (which I also have), but not with post 3610 versions.

I want to be able to do LAN games because for one thing, I want to test out the balance changes by setting up a LAN games between my two comps

You could say why not connect both comps through the FAF lobby? Well, thanks to the awesome smurf prevention measures in FAF, I can't, because both comps I own have been used for my single account (Pathogenic), so I can't set up a different account and test it that way.

If you log in from with your account on one computer, then the other is freed and you can create a new one in it.

Be careful : You probably won't be able to switch accounts after that.

Also, even if LAN is not supposed to be working with FAF, if you want me to debug it one day, I will need logs.

It doesn't crash or hang, it just fails to connect. I usually just give up and abort the connection. I don't know how I would generate a log with that. I have just resigned myself to using 3610 when setting up LAN connections. I think the problem started when the exe for FAF started being located in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\FAForever\bin\ForgedAlliance.exe, instead of C:\Program Files\THQ\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander - Forged Alliance\binFAF, which is the location where 3610 resides.

So if I am logged in to FAF using comp #1 with my Pathogenic account, I can create an account on comp #2 that is different from my Pathogenic account? What if at a later point I try to log in to FAF with my Pathogenic account using comp #2, will I run into problems?
