Mustang23 Posted November 17, 2001 Share Posted November 17, 2001 I need help. I have been having a big problem on the zone. I can't play any multiplayer games. When i join a game and click in the game wont start it just gives me an error: unable to conect to player 3 or 4 whichever. When i try to host a game it I get there but no one else does. I am running windows ME and am connected on a DSL modem, two computers in my house have it. If anybody knows what I should do, could you please explain in detail what I need to fix this problem. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Boba Rhett Posted November 17, 2001 Share Posted November 17, 2001 I don' t know much about it but could your router be the problem? One of my friends is unable to host because he uses one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMasterEd Posted November 17, 2001 Share Posted November 17, 2001 I've seen this before. I have the same problem. Do you have a linux firewall up? If so, I believe THAT'S your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kudar Posted November 17, 2001 Share Posted November 17, 2001 It's probably a router/firewall problem, I was unable to host games until I turned off the firewall that's built into Windows XP and I can't host at work because of the firewall issue too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ZeroXcape Posted November 17, 2001 Share Posted November 17, 2001 Yes - your router is what is blocking your connection. Unfortunatly, many LucasArts games have these connectivity problems. Unless you directly connect into your DSL modem, or you set your router to direct ALL incoming ports to your specific computer: you won't be able to host/join MP games I had this problem throughout the ENTIRE beta process and it kept me from crushing people like ChrisC3PO and DJG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BigDaddi Posted November 30, 2001 Share Posted November 30, 2001 I have a linksys router on my DSL connection and I can always connect to games on the zone. I hosted a private one in the trial version for me and a friend too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no1 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Zone is dead. Try GameRanger or Voobly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
