I have a Windows XP and a DSL modem and i can host all the time...i also play in school and i also host.. so i dont think its the network (routers). There has to be another answer to your question...I forgot to mention that i have 2 firewalls and i can still host...One firewall is Norton and the other is Windows firewall..and both are up to date..So you might have a different problem...

I knew it!!! See, it can be done. Joemax can u tell me how u set up your computer to let u host games. if you remember, that is... :colgate: Edited By King1218 on 1118459946 |
i said it once and i'll say it again....a softare type of firewall aka norton/window XP firewall you can host...a hardware type of firewall aka routers you CAN'T. if you can host with a software firewall then that's your fault and not the the software....when the game is run for the 1st time when your using a software type firewall the firewall ASKS you if you want to allow/block all the ports the game wishes to use. if my accident you choose to block then you have to goto the firewall CP and allow the ports and give SFO the permission to allow it to use the 1626 port ot whichever port you use.

damnit nferno beat me to my post, i was going to say, you just set your program to allow either, the specific program to use the ports, or to set it to allow those specific ports to open all the time.
if you have a router the only way to open the port is to read the manuel for the router, find how to access your options and set one of the above. in theory most routers can do that, but i haven't seen it done before. your better off not hosting and having your friends host. it's not really that hard. |
Sometime's for some reason while playing I can host but when I host agian I can't host because my port stays zero.

When you disabled all the firewall ..did you restart the computer?..it might have to be restarted...if you want the firewall of the Windows, then go to http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...6403/start.jpg ,then go to http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...03/control.jpg , then go to http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...3/security.jpg , then go tohttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...403/window.jpg , then go to http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...403/except.jpg at the tab...then make sure http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...ax6403/sfo.jpg is checked tell us if all the advise we all gave worked or not...

Ok one more thing and thanx I can host now!!!!! thank you alot and by the way if you have dsl and if sfo not on your panel then go to add program and make sure the downloadable version of the gsme is there and put add the downloadable version of the game and your now off :D

Ok, when i click on the exceptions tab, i didnt see "SFO" on the list. So i tried added the port myself. I called it "SFO", typed in the port # "1626" and put a check on "TCP". I still cant host... :confused: I also tryed "add new program" and browsed for the SFO folder i downloaded and still nothing. Is there something i 4got to do? ? ? Sorry to keep asking but id really like to know.
