taylorsmen Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Nope you don't need to be online with Steam to be able to connect, i always have Steam offline and had no problems with network games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dacke_77 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 are you sure that there is now firewall? Alot of adsl modems has built in firewalls. Check if the corrects ports are open with portchecker programs like http://portforward.com/help/portcheck.htm . Are you sure that you are trying to connect to the correct public ip adress? Have your friend go to http://www.whatsmyip.org/ and verify the adress at the top. I've been playing networkgames for years and the only problem i've had is with firewalls block the ports. Which by the way is 10093-10094 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
