You have to open certain ports but I dont know which ones. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found out which ports need to be open. But i don't know how to open them. I can get onto my router settings page, but i cant find the bit where i control the ports. It's a Netgear router if that helps at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtles Head Posted 13 September 2009 Author Share Posted 13 September 2009 Right, thought i had sorted this but i haven't. We both have Hamachi, right ports are open. Both on the same version of the game. Still refuses to connect, saying unable to connect to server. Any ideas anybody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still refuses to connect, saying unable to connect to server. Any ideas anybody? You shouldn't even have to open ports and stuff if you're using hamachi. I also didn't realise they did hamachi for macs. You sure you're using the hamachi IP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtles Head Posted 16 September 2009 Author Share Posted 16 September 2009 We went about it in a roundabout way, getting hamachi last. My mates the one with the mac, they do it for them. I'm at a loss, not a computer nut, but know the basics and cannot get my head round it. Definately using the Hamachi i.p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
