How to host shogun MP Games.

[x-dANGEr]

Just out of curiosity, how can you know what ports is a game using? I do have a Windows firewall (XP) along with a router. All I do is get dazzled till I know what are the ports needed then I forward them. But how can you know what ports are needed anyway?

I use keriop personal fore wall.
Whenever i connect to shogun i go and check what port is used.
These ports change.

When i host a game i go check which posts shogun is now using.
It always uses The same port when you host.

Thats how i know to forward that port.

hmmm. When I fix the problem, I will be able to host, because I can now bypass my router. hooray!

The foyer is much emptyer without you drisos.
Hope you fix your prob soon.
would be nice to battle again.

I know my friend. I hate this situation as well... I don't know what to find worse - not being able to play while others are having games - or - knowing that because of my absence no one is playing...

I am not going to give up on this game. I can beat the computer!

There is some sign of slight promis BTW.

from what A nother member said.

It seems they were able to log in to the foyer Quite easily when they accidentaly installed Warlord ediiton Over there origional STW folder.
(Mistaing warlord edition for the MI expantion)

Given the fact that the origional shogun suffers no real log in probs wven under XP.
And this chance discovery was made.

I am begining to beleve that there is a file/folder in the origional stw, game directory That is missing or prehaps diferent in WE.
It could even be a registry matter, which could be discoverd quite easily now we have some new data.

With any kind of good fortune.
this will be the case.
and a simple matter of trial and error of adding origional STW files to a nother install of WE could indeed allow us to Distribute the missing file to all who have log in problems.

Alternetavly if its a regestry problem,
A similar trial and error course of action could be taken with adding STW registry strings to the WE registry strings.
This could also be easily distributed.

I am quite exited about this new discovery my self.
But I will try not to get my hopes up about it.

Ok I think I understand... a bit. Hmmmm. I have stw original as well. I will first try installing that, configuring and logging in. Then later you can tell me what to do with the folder and files etc

Don't have time today sadly.. will be friday I think.
