db6 Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Welcome to the forums Bricktop, enjoy your stay. First, I would like to suggest that you follow the instructions in the site below (if you scroll down, it goes through the steps of hosting a game): http://www.theforce.net/games/jo/multi_walk.shtml If you follow the steps and the person connecting to your computer also follows the approperiate steps outlined there, yet you can't get a game going, I'd have to conclude that you might have a firewall/router that's blocking outside users from connecting to your computer (this is also valid if you have Windows XP since the firewall is enabled by default). If this is the case you might have to go through some extra steps to open up the ports needed for players to connect to your computer. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
