Cannot Host

[mikeejimbo]

I am able to see my server on the website, and on the server list, however, in the server list it never stops pinging.

I have a WLAN with a router and the internet is shared through it. I may or may not have a firewall.

I think that's ur problem, I have the same thing. Don't know how to solve it though.

Same here. Mine's the same way as both of yours. Except, I'm not sure about either of you, but I can't stay in a game for more than 30 seconds. Too common of a problem, that is. :(

I found information about ur problem here:

GameRanger is a mac program but the problem described is the same and the solution suggested might work for u.

This is a very common problem and there are countless other posts about it in this forum. Please look through other threads to find a solution.

I looked through the other threads, but they weren't helpful enough. How exactly does one open their TCP ports?

Quoting from the URL I sent:

"Refer to your router's instruction manual for details (and contacting your ISP may also help), but most routers use web browser based configuration. To do this, enter your router's local/private IP address into your web browser. Most router addresses are either 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.2.1"

Maybe that'll do it.

Yes.

For JJ2 you'll want to forward ports 10052 and 10054.
