Perfesser Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Never used to have any problems hosting, anyone could join by my IP. Since 2.0 nobody can connect. Same for Trout, can't connect to him nor him to me. The port was forwarded from before, the game is still IL2fb.exe Has to be something simple I'm missing.

T_O_A_D Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 I'm heading to bed shortly, but I hosted 2.0 up for a quick test todd.servegame.org 173.30.187.201 It's on my new Win 7 Install, first time trying to host from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfesser Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 I connected to TOAD instantly so the problem is obviously on my end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snacko Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Have you tried shutting down both of your firewalls for a quick test? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyKnight Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Have you tried shutting down both of your firewalls for a quick test? I wouldn't drop any firewall for even a split-second, I've had PCs infected in 30 secs with trojans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted January 5, 2010 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 You sure your (external) IP address is still the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_O_A_D Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Supposedly it is. I quizzed him about his router settings and client ip as well last night before I left. At the time he had not looked into that deep, neither had trout. They were both able to connect to me hosting from Win7, my game is still located in a separate drive, dual booting Win7 and XP so all I had to do was tell the Windows firewall in Win7 to allow. It asked if it should the first time I started the game. But I was not able to connect to either of them. With Win7 or my XP OS It's for sure on their end.

Trout Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away.... I did host a few times. Now eons later.... I took the steps described at portforwarding.com for my router type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted January 5, 2010 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 you may need to update the ip address that the dns host is holding. i had the same problem after not hosting for a while. i found a box that said update your ip xx.xxx.xx.xx (stored) with this one yy.yyy.yyy.yyyy (current) i clicked yes and people could connect.
