online play = waiting

joema · 2005-09-21 20:51:58

I just got broadband the other day :) but whenever i try to play online everything works fine up until the waiting stage - it justs waits until the connection is lost :mad: any idea what the problem might be? Is it something to do with firewall? Cheers

The port required to play is blocked by default by your router the above link will tell you how to open the port. Until then you wont be playing online.

The first link doesn't work there.

Anyway, I the same troubles, but I changed the sercurity settings on the router firewall to allow pinholes and forwarded ports, as it's wasn't allowing them before.
