Ok, so i just got my new OS Windows XP which is mad fast for my internet which is very great for me, but thats not it. I downloaded all the files and unzipped sfo10d and stuff and when i host no one can join! I don't get it why can't people join if i host?!?! they always say they get the usual error on me not other but me. If anyone knows why anyone can't join my game plz reply here! It's bad for me and urgent! I don't like joining games..................................

P.s- I checked the FAQ...no answer for me there. :(

because your behind a firewall or router :biggrin:

but how do i get rid of the router or firewalll...i can host but people can't join remember!

i donno.......i can't really explain it....wait till Nferno666 post's here....he's good at this kinda stuff :biggrin:

I hope he comes soon! Not only ppl can't join it lags when I join games! its so annoying.

try to open up port 1626 on your router... it did not work for me but it may work for you...

If you are behind a router, you can forget about ever beig able to host. If it is a fire wall then uninstall it or something like that just talk to Nefron666.

i think u might have to go to :

Options,Network,then click =i am behind a firewall or proxy,then i think u click old connection for firewalls :biggrin:

cant host behind a router :biggrin:

if you are on a router/firewall you can host...but no1 will ever be able to join your games...their might be a chance that you can do port forwarding from the router to your comp but that hasn't worked for any1...so you will only be able to join games...never host :( join the club...
