Does TCP/IP work now?

[javaslinger]

I'm sending off for gold tommorow and it just occured to me that TCP/IP is supposed to work now!

Does it? Is there a limit to players? Just 1 on 1 with some AI's or more??

Thanks,

Ken

I tried it once, and it took a little going to get moving but eventually it did work. It can be set up any way a normal game can.

Ugh! Fyron and I tried desperatly to get it to work...but to no avail. I must admit it is a little complicated. I think the problem was that he had a firewall.

Would anyone without a firewall like to attempt to try a tcp/ip game with me...just send me an e-mail at capt-kwok@rogers.com. I'm curious to see if that was the problem or not.

Thanks!

Your firewall has to pass ports 6716 and 6720 for tcp/ip tp be able to connect.

Well, first of all, running IIRC:

-My firewall was NOT SE4's friend. I had to disable Zonealarm.
-The game must have a name, and BOTH players need the name, which *must* be typed identically. If it's not, it Will Not Work.
-the game host is automaticlly included in the game

those were the really obvious problems we had..

Geoschmo, who exactly would one go about doing that?

I have also made a sticky a promising TCP/IP post from sometime back.

For me it's a router and I had to read the router manual and figure out how to get it to allow those ports by. Some firewalls are software based, but the principle is the same. You are going to have to do a little research about your particular flavor of firewall and figure out how to configure it.
