Issues connecting to 'Outside' games

Post by Vergial »

I just wanna say real quick that maybe it's a router issue, but I don't know too much more than that. What ports should be open and the like is beyond me so far.

But anyway, I can connect with anyone in the household on our LAN just fine, but when I want to play with other people across the 'Net, it just doesn't work. I can't even get it to work with Hamachi, which was successful with all my other games in connecting to outside sources or allowing incoming connections.

My question is: what is going on (again, I suspect my router), and what can I do to fix it?

It's worth mentioning I tried the outside Lan Lobby programs and the like, no luck with them either.

As for the info file, I don't see much point in pasting 'Connecting to Server' over and over and over again. After a bit of that, it just kicks me back to the Battleroom.

Thanks in advance for the help.

First try forwarding port 8452 UDP on ur router with help from http://www.portforward.com/.
Than check ur software firewalls on ur PC. Like Windows firewall and any 3rd party stuff.
Report after you're done with that.
