I am behind a router with a buit-in firewall.
MOst off the time I cant establish sync with other players, once in a while i do..but thats not very often..
i think ive tried everything i could find in the FAQ but nothing works.

What to do?

:( anyone?

welcome to my world, but i dont have the fire wall thing, as tmyapp said, IT IS LOW PRIORITY RIGHT NOW...... so it is ur computer,nothing we can do,so live with it like me....

so..im not going to be able to play thew game again :(

Combo, Go to Options, then Connection(I think, where you see your IP address) and then you see where it says "Old Connection, for firewalls"? Check that option and you should be good to go.

a switch is better than a router

buy one but u have 2 pay for 2 IP addresses , i pay 5 bucks for having 2 it shouldnt be that expensive

try deleting ur firewall

it is a router/switch ???

i cant del the firewall since its built in my router, i am trying to find a way to deactivate it tho.

asshole, that thing kinda worked. i can establish sync most of the times, i dont think i can host tho. thanks

Nope. unfortunately with routers you cannot host. Sorry. I just switched to a router not too long ago, so I know everything you can and cannot do as far as XMvSF goes.

Well, i'm glad that worked, and yes I know you can't host!

I suggest you join games!
