jaxxmanuk Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 Hello, Jedi Knight is the first game that I have bought so please don't mock me to much :-) I am trying to set up a basic Jedi Knight mulitplayer game. All I want is my friends to be able to connect to a server I make. I have done this by creating a server and then getting my friends to make a favourite using my static IP Address. Nothing happens and they just get awaiting game state. I have also tried the Jedi Dedicated Launcher but again I don't show up on either the Internet List or connectable as a favourite. The last multiplayer game i played was Duke Nukem (no laughing) and it seemed quite easy hehe. If any one can help me I would be VERY grateful. I live in UK and have a 512 ADSL connection with a Static IP. Thanks In Advance A Very Stressed Jaxx Cisco Router Configs are friggin easier! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sysgod Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 Is your computer sitting behind a personal firewall or router? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxxmanuk Posted April 29, 2002 Author Share Posted April 29, 2002 No I run my games under windows 2000 which is left pretty much as it comes. No firewall installed at all. The main thing thats baffling me is if I create a server, it has my unique IP address so my friends should just be able to use that IP to connect straight to me? I just wanna kick some chum like ass :-p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperCharlie Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 Theres been a lot of complaints/problems about showing up in the lists and having friends connect. If you have all the ports open and a static IP I would suggest you and your friends getting "The All Seeing Eye" and searching for your game. Im not sure about win 2000, but in 98 I can switch from full screen to windowed view with alt+enter to look up the game in the eye and see if its there.. Get The Eye here => http://www.udpsoft.com/eye/ Good Luck SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxxmanuk Posted May 1, 2002 Author Share Posted May 1, 2002 Well there's bad news and more bad news. I tried the All Seeing Eye and aoart from being a great tool it still doesn't show up any servers i create. I just wanna fight my friends...its such a cruel world! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatrixCPA Posted May 1, 2002 Share Posted May 1, 2002 If you just want to fight your friends it isn't necessary for the server to show up in the master list. Just have them connect by ip. If they can't connect by ip, you have a larger problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
