    Connection Probs

    HI
    I am able to connect so some games, but the game says me that the host can not be foudn in some others (that make sure u have configured ur routers and firewalls correlctly - stuff)
    I tied it out with a friend. Here the results:
    i can t join his game, neighter he can join mine.
    I can t join a game he is in and he can t join one i am in.
    If we both connect, and if one cancels connecting the other comes in.
    I am behind a firewall and a router, but i opened all ports i found in the various solutions here.
    He has no Fw or router. We can both join other games....

    Can one of u help us?
    Mfg Finweed

    I had to register and make this post here, as this is EXACTLY the same problem my 2 friends and I have. We all live in the same apartment complex, all have verizonavenue DSL, and none of us use firewalls or routers. We all have public IP's - yet we cannot ever get into each others games, or anyone elses game if one of us is in the game. It's like some magical force of frustration is keeping us from playing each other.

    This is what I would expect if we were all sharing an IP or something but we all live in different apartments and have different IP's.

    The only similarity is that we all use verizonavenue, which is contracted to the whole complex.

    I'll be speaking with their tech tonight when i'm at my home computer and if we come up with anything I'll post it here.

    SUPER FRUSTRATING!

    Well, after about an hour and a half online with a very helpful tech, we were able to fix the issue - maybe you have the same issue.

    Basically, the entire apartment complex here is on the same dsl network, and as a result verizon put in blocks of some sort to keep people from finding all the other computers on the network.

    I gave my dsl modems mac address along with my other 2 friends who live here to the tech, and he was able to open up those blocks for our computers to be able to access each other properly. Now we can join each others games fine.

    I wonder if you have a similar situation, since it's only your friends who can't play the game with you. Do you live in a similar situation or share the same isp?

    Hope you get some help as well.
