Issues connecting to 'Outside' games
Posted: 05 Sep 2008, 06:13
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.
