Looking for MP games

Pillin · #1 January 21st, 2004, 06:11 PM

I got a lot (and I do mean a lot) of spare time on my hands now, and if anyone is looking for another player, feel free to leave a post here or send me a pm

I've just played two small mp games sofar, but I consider myself a fair player.

By any chance are you on something like DSL or Cable? And can afford to leave your machine running all night? (not the monitor, thats too expensive for almost anyone)

The reason I ask is that then you could be the host and start a tcpip game.

I am, and I already have it on 24/7. However I do have a firewall that my landlord manages, and hes not to fond of opening any ports.
If anyone could help me test if I can run one behind the firewall then perhaps I could

I would think you'll need to get him to open one (just one measly port), or else find one that's already open. See if he'll open port 40404 for you or something.

I can help you test Pillin, if you want to send me the information via Email I can test some ports for you to see if you can host on them.

Housing comes with central internet and routing these day? Here landlords only providy heating and water etc. I guess we've fallen back by some 20 years :-(
