Yet another TCP/IP Question.
OK So we are trying to get TCP/IP working on 2 computers bothing connection through a router.
We've got the right IP's (as opposed to the 192.168.0.1 the game shows)
It still did not work. As near as I can figure from all the previous threads our problem would be solved by forwarding ports 6716 and 6720.
Has anyone tried this? I like to know if this will work before I start telling my friend to mess around with his router settings.
(I also noticed a suggestion of setting up the computer as a DMZ host. This struck me as a bad idea from a security stand point)
