BigTeddyPaul Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 You might have a firewall problem. Also, when you search for his server can you see it and if you can does it have a ping to the right? I went to a server once and was not able to get on because I did not include the port number which was required for this particular server. Hope this helps.

Firemann816 Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 I have a day job in networking & I'll pass this along If you cant ping it, dont bother trying to connect to it. Once you can ping it, than attempt your game. You didnt reference the IP he uses. BUT if it is 10.X.X.X or 172.16-31.X.X or 192.168.X.X Those will not route over the internet and arent going to work. They are for private LANs only. Regards & HTH Firemann816 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
