Spring RTS Engine

Little bit of a late reply since I managed to get everything working, but the lobby server DID work after I set it up on my laptop instead, although it's kinda not needed now since I can host normally, I just turned off my router's firewall and everything was fine. I guess it had pretty anal NAT, ev...

I see... Okay, I'll get it going on my laptop and report back with results.

I'm not sure how to do that, sorry, do I just open the .jar in a prompt or what? D: Disregard that, I suck cocks. Server's working fine, I can connect to it, I just need to test if my friend can now. Edit: Nope, even though he can connect to my master with the hamachi IP, he still can't join, regard...

Okay, I can't even get the server thing to work, I launch it with JRE and nothing happens, it loads (hourglass cursor) for a few seconds and that's it, but the Java runtime exe keeps running in the background using about 15mb of memory.

Alright, I'll give the LAN stuff a shot over Hamachi, if it works, it works, but I've still got this huge issue to deal with, and chances are spring won't be the last game I'll have this issue with. ;_;

Windows firewall is disabled, and has been for quite some time. As for playing on autohosts or whatever, I don't see any servers with <!> on them so I can't test this. 3: Besides, even if I COULD play on them I only want to play spring with some friends, preferably on a server hosted by one of us. D...

I've not found a single multiplayer game that I've NOT been able to (join and) play, although even though I've got my ports forwarded correctly, and the NAT checks out (for instance in Games for Windows Live) as open, I still can't host.

And yeah, I'm on Windows 7 build 7100 Release Candidate.

I'm really not sure what more I can explain because I have no freakin' idea what's causing it, I have the correct port (8452 right?) forwarded in both TCP and UDP, and I can't join, or host a game, if I join, I just timeout, if I host, everyone else just times out. I'm not running any firewall softw...
