no one can join my games!

[Mikedot]

Can someone help me. I had this same problem when i play other online games.

I am on a Local Area Network.
connected to a proxy server (I think)
and behind a firewall.

PLEASE HELP!

[Trafton]

Have you unblocked the correct ports?

[Mikedot]

how do i do that?

Im Using Windows ME,

Im Using on a Local Area Network(LAN)

I connect to the internet thur another computer (a server)
and the computer is hooked up to a cable modem.

and the server is behind a firewall.


I hope this helps!

PS: The server's OS is Windows 2000 advance server.

Read the firewall's manual for instructions on opening up ports 10052-10057. Each firewall is different.

ok tell me if i did this right, first you go to network properties for my cable modem, then i click on the internet sharing tab, and then go to avance properties and then the options for opening the the ports will be there?

I have had bad luck forwarding ports using a Windows Server. The option is there, but it didn't seem to work for me.

[Mikedot]

Ugh. then it probably wont work for me.

Can someone PLEASE give me step by step info on how to open the ports on Windows 2000?
