Guest Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Please can somebody help me, I used to be able to play online whilst my internet provider was BT, however, ever since I changed my service provider to Orange, the IP address is now two numbers long & will not let anybody else join. I understand that the host should give out the second number, this still isn't working! I have read the FAQ at the start but couldn't really understand it! Sorry. What can I do?? Thanks alot.

DB11 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I don't know what router I have. I know that the brand is Netgear (because it says it on it) but I have no clue other than that. I cannot find a manual and it came free when we got our Sky Broadband internet set up. If I find out what it is, then how do I forward the ports to be able to play (and what ports?)

Andy H Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 Tommybhoy - You need to forward the ports on your router to allow FM. Alan BO - Read the FAQ, it's in the forum header. Mart.Sadler - You need to forward your ports on your router to allow FM. Use the link to a website on page one of this topic. daniboyboy - You have provided a screenshot but no information on your set up etc for people to help you. You should be constructing your post like the example given on page one of this topic. Daniel Foster - You go to page one of this topic. There is a link to a website that helps you forward your ports. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdiprose Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Alrighty. We were fine before Christmas, the host used Windows XP, and everyone in the clan could connect fine. However, over Christmas, the host has got a new PC running Windows Vista, and this seems to have caused some problems. We can all connect to the host, but from there onwards there are a variety of problems. One person gets kicked every few minutes, a couple of others get kicked whenever they try to change tactics, others get long pauses where the game freezes when trying to move screens - it's very strange. Any ideas please? Note, the computer has changed as has the Operating System, but other than that, router configuration and so on is all the same.

DUNCAN BELL Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Hello. I'd like some help in joining and hosting a network game if possible please. My friend is hosting. He runs windows XP with service pack 2 and has changed his port forwarding thingy. It was quite complicated. He has a BT home hub and at the end it asks for the device to be forwarded to. We presumed it was to me (the joiner) so we put in my I.P. address as asked. I understand that as a joiner of a game I dont have to have my ports forwarded. I run Mac OSX 10.4.11. When he starts a game with the "run as server" enabled I load up the main game and go to network game. He does not show up under local servers and when I go to join other server and put in his I.P. address it always comes back as "unable to connect to server". Can anyone help? What are we doing wrong?

Which IP address should he be giving me, the one from the link there? </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Basically with routers now taking over from modems the easier way to explain that would be that your external IP is that which websites, people & games etc will contact with each via. That is your internet connections address on the WWW. Your routers IP is simply where you configure it to allow communication between people outside of your own personal network & your network via commands to send the data traffic to the specific pc on your network. Your internal IP is given to each pc connected to your router, it is pre-defined & nobody can connect to you via that internal IP as it means nothing on the WWW. With so many routers being sold the internal IP address is re-hashed throusands & thousands of times but it's only relevent on the specific network it was assigned. Summing that up, your external IP is how you let people connect to you & by assigning your router to send the FM traffic to your specific PC via your internal IP you can host a game. This is true not just for FM but for all programs which want to have a direct connection to your pc via a router, people often get mistaken that it's only FM that does this when in reality it isn't but it's just people rarely use such programs other then for file sharing so never experience this. Once again you give the people who want to connect your external IP, you port forward on your routers config panel to forward the data ports to your internal IP, thats the only time you need to use your internal IP so it knows where to be sending the data packets. Good luck, unfortunately 9/10 times when people come to this thread & say they've done everything but it doesnt work in reality they've done it wrong & that's the main reason why it doesn't work. Without sitting in front of someone's PC it's a bit hard but to trust they're doing the port forwarding right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs1979 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 That is correct, sometimes routers get confused with multiple rules so you might get more joy doing them seperately if that fails. IE, TCP 10093-10093 TCP 10094-10094 UDP 10093-10093 UDP 10094-10094 The next step is just giving them your external IP from www.whatismyip.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs1979 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Daniel, I fully understand that it looks very daunting when you first look at the router control panel & easily worry you that you'll do something wrong if you follow the guide for your specific router it can be very easy. If you want I'll talk you through step by step on MSN & we can try to get it sorted for you, my msn is in my profile so feel free to add me & hopefully we can get it sorted. If not then perhaps ask a friend or family member to have a look & see if they understand it better? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
