ARMAND need your help plz

[Cat]

Hey Armand, or anyone who knows about IP Routing and so on....

I got one problem; I finally made my boyfriend to try out TFD.
We installed and updated and so on, everything is fine.

But now we got a problem with the router, i think.
He cannot join my game. He can join any game, but not mine.

We tried a lot with port forwarding and so on, but somehow we don´t make it.

Now I am really sad And hope that you can help me, please....

Greetz,
Stef

have you tried by connection through LAN, if you host cat get your boyfriend to try connect through lan game instead of through novaworld.

Hey John,

I don´t know how lan works... We got wireless lan on both, pc and laptop. But I don´t know how to link.....

if you set up the game then your boyfriend then goes into the came by going to;

Multiplayer Options > Join Game > click the arrows next the novaworld till you get LAN/IPX, > search

hopefully you will be found on there otherwise you will need to add some protocols into your networks which will allow you to do that i can help you with that

ye if the router is set up properly it should work, sorry just assumed but, yes the router could be the problem but also check that the firewall on the LAN/ROUTER connection isn't blocking the DFTFD from loading if you can unblock DFTFD if its blocked by any firewall, that could be the problem, but also i would look into getting the LAN game set up i can show you on how to do that if you wanted

Hey Armand,

this is my router:


Siemens Gigaset SE 515 dsl

The Lan/IPX search doesnt work, no Lan found.

Hmm... If only I would not be so silly with computer....

Thanks for trying to help me!

See you,
Cat

ok make a network if you can cat, by doing networking wizard and set that up on both computers. then you will need to add the IP/TCP protocol, which i will have to have a go at looking at again, its been a while. but you will then have a LAN and your boyfriend will be able to join VIA lan, then saving bandwidth
