JackD004 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Hey, Ive been playing a network game with some friends for about a month now. We are quite far in first season and werent having any problems. Until now. We all got the new update and went to join the game as usual. However the ip has changed and when they enter the new ip it does not let them join. Im the host and have not changed anything. Were completely stumped. any suggestions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy H Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 If you are using a router your internal IP may have changed so you would need to reforward your ports for the new internal IP. Also make sure all firewalls have been configured to allow FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gholliday87 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 What do you mean by reforward your ports....I am having the same issue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauly15 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Also having the same problem. Patching up changes your internal IP address? :S The IP changes regularly you just have to get the new one. Not the same with this problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie S Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Had the same problem but my firewall had mysteriously reset and was blocking fm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauly15 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Just to clarify: you were clicking on the IP and nothing was happening. It is the correct IP i'm clicking on (I get an error message when I click on others) and simply nothing happens. Same problem for you? Fixed by changing firewall settings or need to change ports too? thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie S Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Yep I had exactly the same problem. For some reason my firewall had started to block incoming FM ports. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
