I just got DSL and I have a Firewall right I can join games but when people challenge me and stuff it wont go threw, whats my problem?
|
its highly UNLIKELY that ppl with firewalls can challenge ppl or host games....
i knew when i started( and when i had my old, firewalled comp) i couldn't host or challenge at all i belive its b/c of sum net secutrities that have 2 do with firewalls...that might explain y ppl can't do that |
You can't host or challenge if you have a firewall. Check the bottom box in the network section after clicking the options button. This will allow you to join and host.

u can join games but u still cant host even if youcheck the last box in the network connections (4 firewall users that is) |
Yeah but some people have trouble accepting and joining and checking the box makes sure you can. There is no way to host if you have a router/firewall.
|
yeah & it downright stinks. coz even if i get rid of my firewall i still cant host coz im stuck with a router :(
|
Heh yeah as long as you have a router, hosting is a thing of the past whether you have a firewal or not. I sure do miss the days where I could say "If you wanna fight join my game", lol.

Yes. If you have a firewall or Router, you won't be able to host/challenge... but you should be able to join games and accept challenges from other users... if you can't, I suggest you read the information below:
if your behind a firewall,make sure you go to: 1.Go To(Options) 2.go under ur(network tab) 3.click(I am behind a firewal or a proxy) 4.click (old connection mode(for firewalls). You can also try typing in AUTO, where you see Local IP :biggrin: |
um.. just to point out; if you're just behind a firewall you CAN host. If it's a Router, then you can not host :biggrin:
|
oh man! i sure wish it was the other way round coz i dont think theres ne way of getting rid of a router in a DSL connection is there?
|
They explain it all. :D
|
well blanka09 every time i try joining server 1 now it doesnt work it started a few days ago wat s wrong?
|
Did you configure your network options? Remember they don't save so you need to change them every time you log in.
|
try checking/unchecking the first & last box in options, network connections. remember what settings work & do it every time u log-in
