Re: Bug Thread: Discussion
Torin, the host could also be firewalled and blocking the TCP connection to the port the server is running Dom3 on.
Just because IP (ping uses ICMP messages which are constructed at the IP layer) gets through a firewall doesn't mean that a TCP request will get through. The particular port the host is trying to use may be blocked. If the host runs a telnet server on the same port you were trying, can you telnet to that port? That would be a useful exercise to determine whether TCP connectivity to that port exists.
There is a large number of TCP Dom3 games that have been run or are running over the internet. I myself have run a few dom3 games behind a NAT server. It's just not working in your particular case.
You might want to consider creating a new thread in the forum and asking for help there, since this problem has nothing to do with any bugs in the Dom3 application.
