Mornin'
I tried last night to set up an internet game with a couple of mates but we just couldn't connect to each others IP addresses when we tried to join the game.
We took off all the firewalls and forwarded ports but still no joy
Surely it shouldn't be this hard!?!?!?!
I saw on another forum that Hamachi might be worth a download? Is this the sort of problem it fixes??
THanks for anyone's help
Cheers

Hamachi makers it easier, but you all need the same patch as the person that is hosting the game, so check this before you try again. | | | | | | | 27-06-07, 10:08 AM | #3 (permalink) | | Decent Youngster Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Hinckley, Leicestershire Posts: 10 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0 |
Yeah, we're all on 7.0.2
I can't understand why it won't work
How do we do it with Hamachi once it's downloaded? Or is it pretty obvious? | | | | | | | 27-06-07, 10:14 AM | #4 (permalink) | | What Bozza can do with an orange, I can do with a grape!

hamachi.cc
All you do is set up a connection and password, and then you just give the other people the connection name and password and it should work. | | | | | | | 27-06-07, 10:16 AM | #5 (permalink) | | Decent Youngster Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Hinckley, Leicestershire Posts: 10 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0 |
and then in FM you just connect as if it was a LAN network? or still as an Internet game?
(ie - which IP address do they use to join?)
Sorry to be such a pain! | | | | | | | 27-06-07, 10:46 AM | #6 (permalink) | | What Bozza can do with an orange, I can do with a grape! Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: palermo,Italy Posts: 2,951 Thanks: 27 Thanked 623 Times in 258 Posts Nominated 11 Times in 3 Posts TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0 |
they dont, they need hamachi aswell and you connect to each other that ways, you are connected just like a LAN game it just speeds it up. | | | | | | | 27-06-07, 10:49 AM | #7 (permalink) | | Decent Youngster Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Hinckley, Leicestershire Posts: 10 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0 |
