Agoraphobic Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 If you have cable modem that is connected only to your computer and are not using a router to connect several computers in your home to the internet you don't have to port foward anything.Go to www.ipchicken.comGet the I.P there and go to your client folder and find config.ini and open it in notepad. Find where it says IP and replace the number there with your number as well as set the port to 4000. So if my ip was 11.111.111.111 the top of my config.ini would look like this;[IPCONFIG]IP=11.111.111.111PORT=4000[CONFIG]If you are using a router this website has almost every model and instructions how to port foward, if your model isn't here you can find the closet thing to your model or you can contact the company that created your router to help you set it up free.http://portforward.com/routers.htmNow go to your server folder and find Data.ini and open it in notepad. Find the line that says Port and change the number there to 4000 if it is something diffrent.Now double click server.exe wait for it to load and go to the Control Panel tab, in bottom right hand corner make sure Admin Only and Server closed isn't check but are blank white boxes.Now try to connect with your client to your game the status of the game should say Online, have your friend try as well. If you are seeing online status and your friend is seeing offline status, then something on your friends side is blocking him from connecting.I hope this helped a little.*Edit* http://support.microsoft.com/kb/842242Your windows firewall might be blocking the server.exe, check and see if your server.exe is in the exceptions list.
