Wayne\'o Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Recently just got a new internet provider. trouble is when i run Fm as a server for my mates to join i now have 2 ip addresses. i know mine is the 2nd one but when FM has two listed no one can ever join. How do we get around this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rusty_u Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 2 IP's? How on earth does that work, unless you mean 1 internal and 1 external, which would be normal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suma Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 2 IP's? How on earth does that work, unless you mean 1 internal and 1 external, which would be normal. it could be that the game has stored his old IP and now has identified his new IP as a seperate computer. which seems plausible. but hamachi is the best way to do this things anyway.

-lewis-16- Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 the first ip is your computers static ip adress these two ips occur when you have a router give the the second one to your mates thats your outgoing ip adress (should be something like 86.36.0.1 or something like that) should work if you've correctly opened the ports hope this helps Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

-lewis-16- Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 have a look at this website Website one of the links in it called portforwarding.com/routers or something is really helpful in showing you how to open ports i think if you have a router you have to open the 10093 and 1004 ports let me know how you get on with it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeeman27bob Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I'd download Hamachi if i were you. Just whack the Hamachi into google and click on their website. Then download the hamachi client, and make sure your mate has it. It's pretty obvious from there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
