Administrators Neil Brock Posted November 16, 2008 Administrators Share Posted November 16, 2008 What do you mean 'both' IP addresses? Also have either of your friends tried hosting the game and you joining that? If that works it could be a firewall issue at your end. Let me know, thanks.

jod123 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Have you used hamachi? I find it usually makes things easier. Everyone will have to download it, though. By the way, you mind more info if you posted this in the FMO forum. nbrocky, I think he means both addresses on the game status screen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Neil Brock Posted November 16, 2008 Administrators Share Posted November 16, 2008 If I'm totally honest the online part of the game isn't my specialist area, unfortunately your best bet is posting your query in there and I'm sure someone will get back to you - maybe not now because it's quite late UK time.

jod123 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Make sure you post it in the help thread, though and don't create a new thread as it will just get closed. Have you tried using hamachi, though? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
