Hello new to Space Empires and from what little i have ventured into the game i would have to say i love it! Had a couple friends come over to play lan game with me, i have 3 computers networked here at home. Lan games played out fine my friends loved the game and have now ordered and received thier copies.
Now comes the problem. We are trying to play tci/ip games and cannot seem to get the game to work. I looked at the sticky thread a step by step help in configuring tcp/ip ports etc. Well we did all that and still none of us can host a game.
Basically I set up my host pc they connect, i see them in the tcp/ip game screen it tells me they are connected. Then the next few minutes they get a message saying failed to connect to host but i still see them connected on my end.
We have tried everything, i have re-routed my ports settings 10 times and still nothing. Can anyone offer some advice or help on this matter. Im sure its something small becasue we are basically connecting half way there or i would not see them come into my game at all. Something i believe is not allowing them or me to send the rest of the infromatino that needs to be.
I have tcp and udp ports 6716 thru 6720 open forwarded to my ip address. I am running Windows XP pro with the internal xp firewall off. There should be nothging as far ast his wrong i dont believe.
Anyway please someone help. I would love to get this going i have a nice server built and would love to start hosting some tcp/ip games for people.......if i can get my connection to work.
Please Help!!!!--Multiplayer
