Do you have a router and/or firewall?
-If so, in the main menu of the game, Click "Options". Then "Network", and check off "I am behind a firewall or proxy". When you click it, another check will auto-check. Make sure "old connection mode (for firewalls)" is it.

This may also be a factor. Your Port Number. Once again, click Opitons>>>Network. and look at your "Use Port" number. For most people, it's port number 1626, and the sec port is 1627. That's for some people, for others, the port numbers would likely set themselves.

Check that out and see if there's still a problem.

Just to keep you up to date, servers mamy go down, and isn't accessible. Most likely try SFO Backup Server or SFO Tournament Server. Those ones are open most.

Ok. A router is a device that splits the internet connection to other soucres (i.e. more than 1 computer).

A firewall, protects your computer from unwanted intrusions, hackers, etc. If you don't know what firewall program you have, search your computer for it.

If you have 1 or both, then you won't be able to host. Regardless, with certain computer/programs, you can host with a firewall. But i dunno off the back of my head.

wow this guy is in deep ####

this used to happen to me ages ago :( so i decided to go with a basic t3 modem it worked for me, no more firewalls :D

[mastergrim8]

hey I'm on a router and i can still host and join...i just have a basic Local Area Connection, and then i opened a wan connection which allowed me to host...usually a router user has one connection icon right next to their time but i have 2 :biggrin:
