Ben c Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Me and my friend are trying to make an online game for us both to play. I have set up the game with the run as server box ticked. i gave him the i.p adress but when he puts it into his computer it says unable to connect to server. there is a pause after he has clicked the ok button t find the server which seems to idicate it is doing something but then it just says unable to connect. Can anybody help ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanderer89 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Me & my friend use Hamachi, and it works perfectly for us. I don't know if you're familiar with it, but if not then here, try looking at this: http://www.fmformation.net/online-world/41228-hamachi-networking-guide-fm-2009-a.html Hope this helps.

TheAssassin1982UK Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 we use Hamachi as well, got a game going with a mate in Italy and a game with another mate in cambridge going as we speak. Had the same trouble til we started using hamachi, but no problems since. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
