I have a router and use windows firewall, I never opened a port (to be fair, I have not the slightest idea where to find them), and I can host and connect to games.  |

That because you have Upnp enabled in windows and in the router.
If it were disabled then you would have to manually configure which ports to open etc.... |

So if I (we) did'nt select the option Upnp 'on' then its on by default. So how is it enabled and how is it adjusted ?
How come if I have Upnp enabled I can't Host unlike Fish and Ramius ? :hmm:
Would Upnp have permitted an unwelcome Trojan found by a very reliable 'eliminator' n SCS Patch 1.03 Beta ?  
Just a little interested, as my system got completely screwed while MPing SC a while back. :hulk:
As a result, I remain cynical and a bit choosey about 'unprotected' play !! |

OK guys, I don't have a router but cannot host when I have another computer directly linked to my computer,
My Adapters.txt file reads:
This file contains all adapters found on this system:
Network Bridge - IPv4 - 192.168.0.1
Local Area Connection 2 - IPv4 - 58.160.192.236
My dangerouswaters.ini file reads:
.HostMultiStationGame No
.AllowAllSPs No
.TCPDirectQuery Yes
.TCPDirectQueryAddress "70.116.144.249"
.TCPPort "default"
.AdapterName "IPv4"
My DxDiag.txt file reads:
-------------------
DirectPlay Adapters
-------------------
DirectPlay8 Serial Service Provider: COM1
DirectPlay8 Serial Service Provider: COM2
DirectPlay8 TCP/IP Service Provider: Network Bridge - IPv4 -
DirectPlay8 TCP/IP Service Provider: Local Area Connection 2 - IPv4 -
and
-------------------------
DirectPlay Lobbyable Apps
-------------------------
Flight Simulator (DX8) - Registry: OK, ExeFile: FS9.Exe (9.00.0000.30612) LauncherFile: (<File Missing>)
FTM (DX7) - Registry: OK, ExeFile: BOS.exe (<File Missing>)
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 (DX7) - Registry: OK, ExeFile: FS9.Exe (9.00.0000.30612)
So what's wrong with these settings as I sure as hell can't work out why I cannot Host when the other computer is connected to mine. I do not have XP firewall enabled and the IP address shown in the adapters.txt is the correct one identified in "myipaddress.com"
I'd really like to have this solved.
Thanks in advance. |
