SlipStream Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 Here i am...Mr. Newbie. Well to get right to it...ppl cant detect my JK2 hosted games. I'm behind a firewall...but im using DMZ to go around it. Still my friend cannot detect my game, and i also noticed that when i opened the in game menu (pressed escape) the game paused as i was in the middle of a jump and it paused. Is there an option i have that is keeping this from letting other ppl join? PLEASE HELP!!! {edit} Oh it isnt a dedicated server...just regular host Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landorin Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 Yeah, there is: deactivate your firewall before playing and you should be fine. Sincerely Landorin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlipStream Posted April 4, 2002 Author Share Posted April 4, 2002 On a Lynksys router (mine 4-way) when you activate DMZ hosting it puts you around the firewall completely, leaving you exposed but also open. They should be able to detect me. Thats why i beleave that it is an option i have set in JK2. Is there an option to host a LAN game or an internet game in JK2? Or an option to let ppl join your server unstead of bots? Or something like that that could be set to 0 or off or something? Im just shooting out ideas here...

NeoNinja Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 I have a Cable Modem via Time Warner ROADRUNNER and use a Linksys 4 port router... how do I deactivate the firewall? If I deactivate it, I can then create a server for my 3 friends to join? I have been disconnceting myself from the router and connecting the cat5 cable from the modem directly to the PC in order to establish a server.

SlipStream Posted April 4, 2002 Author Share Posted April 4, 2002 I cant do that im afraid...the IN-Line is on the other side of my house...+ i got 3 other family members that like to use the internet too . I have also read somewere that ppl were not even using DMZ hosting option and still getting results (Just dropping players all the time). I beleave it was in that big topic about Linksys routers. Am I not expaining this clear enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
