Multiplayer problem

[Taipan]

Hi folks. Got a problem in multiplay, maybe you can help.

My PC acts as server, and connection is made via TCP/IP. I play 2 chars, a friend brings on another. We can connect and start the game no problem. In the game we can walk around, pause and unpause, get items, talk to NPCs, etc, all without a hassle.

However... after I (or the other person) clicks on the Rest button the game becomes frozen after the Rest screen clears. There is a message to the effect that I have paused the game (even if the other person selects Rest). All character inventories are "browned out", and no-one can move or do anything else - although Talk still works. I can't find anything at all that will unpause the game. The pendulum stops swinging, btw, indicating that the game IS paused. It doesn't matter if the other person ha full permissions or the bare minimum, the problem still occurs. We both have installed the identical BG2 patch as well.

Anticipating configuration questions we both have exactly the same settings prior to connecting. Has anyone else experienced this problem, and if so do you know how to resolve it?

Any help appreciated. This is driving me nuts.
