Hey, I can't host a game. Is it because I'm behind a firewall or other? Sitting back waiting for a fight kinda blows so can someone help me?

i cant host either. it sucks

montalvo · 02-07-2004, 04:58 PM

you have to turn the firewall off to host

Zpower · 02-07-2004, 05:08 PM

Actually to host behind a firewall isnt that hard just my methods doesnt work with ALL firewalls ofcourse. If you using Norton, Zone Alarm or firewalls by those companys then my method may not work. So I wont even bother typing it. Instead for those who arent behind any firewalls and have trouble hosting just change the port number. Which is the number you use to connect to the server which might be the Global sever for example. Just change the number untill you get through. Depends on connection and where you live and alot of other minor details too.
