Perfesser Posted January 5, 2010 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. Quote
T_O_A_D Posted January 5, 2010 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
Perfesser Posted January 5, 2010 Author Posted January 5, 2010 I connected to TOAD instantly so the problem is obviously on my end. Quote
Snacko Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 Have you tried shutting down both of your firewalls for a quick test? Quote
GreyKnight Posted January 5, 2010 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
Perfesser Posted January 5, 2010 Author Posted January 5, 2010 MMM ...that is something that has changed. Quote

1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted January 5, 2010 1. DDz Quorum Posted January 5, 2010 You sure your (external) IP address is still the same? Quote
T_O_A_D Posted January 5, 2010 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. Quote
Trout Posted January 5, 2010 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
T_O_A_D Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 We could get on MSN live and let me look at your stuff, via remote desktop Quote
1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted January 5, 2010 1. DDz Quorum 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.
