Client can't connect to server

Greetings have lurked and read on here for some time now. I am trying to have my client vm machine connect to my host machine that is also running the game. the host runs fine in online matches and such, i did double check my firewall and set an exception as well as double checking both host files everything seemed as it should be. when i watch the log on the host i can clearly see the client has connected and some data is transferred after the start screen the client will receive the "cannot connect to EA servers error" but i am still able to enter multiplayer to said login screen if i continue to login or create a new account i get a repeat of the error earlier after i confirm the agreement, which seems strange because the client is visible in the log after some investigation i saw the log was throwing this error "[Main Server Handler 2][Handler_1:6E] Error: HandleComponent_1_Command_6E: PNAM is invalid" any input or information on the matter would be appreciated i had some other errors that i corrected but this one does not seem as clear to me thanks :mrgreen:

I saw this topic on Friday, but I didn't reply because I was feeling bad that day, and yesterday as well. I think I'm a little better now.

Use this test version. It'll show more details about this "PNAM is invalid" error.

You cannot create an account using in-game "create account" feature. You have to log in to an existing profile already created by PSE (the machine where PSE is running must have all profiles from all players who intend to connect to it). See How-To #4.

While PSE responds to "createAccount" and "createPersona", its reply is just an empty message with no fields, no values.
