Hosting Problem
Tue Apr 13, 2004 3:22 am
Hey guys (and girls), I have a major problem, I can't host online games!!
I have Windows XP Pro and yes, I disabled the XP Firewall, but could the problem be that I am part of a Network??
I tried to host with the IP address the game says I have, although I know that's not the right one, because it's an interior Network Ip address.
I also tried to host with my actual Ip adress and it still doesn't work.
I have played some online games so far and I was always able to join, but never able to host, it's driving me crazy!
Thanks in advance!
P.S. Is there anybody who would like to play against me using Direct IP?? I guess he/she would have to host though!

There's probably another firewall further up the stream, if you're "part of a network", so you're probably SOL.
