    hi guys,

    i've never used fakesrvr, but if it's a true server, then ALL the rules of servers apply just like they would on gamespy, or the EA servers or the Activision servers. generally, and this is very general, if you cant host but can connect to others, then you've got a firewall up somewhere that isnt allowing others to originate to you, or, your router is blocking on the necessary ports. that's the simplicity of it. USUALLY, it's a firewall, especially if you can connect to others.

    if you cant connect to others or host, then it's a firewall/router OR a version mismatch.

    for specific help on opening ports and firewalls, check the gamespy article on their web pages on this AND your firewall and router manuals/documentation.

    one simple thing to try is to simply turn the firewall off and try again. this is ok if you have a router up also. it already has a firewall built into it. dont try this method if you dont also have a router.

    you can likewise disable the router with the dmz internal toggle as long as your outgoing line is on the dmz line out physical port (usually #4 or #1 on the back of the router). use the internal interface of the router to turn this off and on.

    Hi Kraellin,

    thanks for stopping by.
    Well, I've already tested hosting without my firewall but
    it didn't work. I've it running now to monitor the connections.
    Shogun has all access rights though.

    My best guess, after toying with the EAsy program that came with the game,
    is that because Shogun is a Win95/Win98 program it doesn't recognize my
    USB-connected router. Easy says it can't find any Network-adapters.
    Changing this back to my Network-Card might have an effect.
    It is quite cumbersome to do but i'll try this as a last resort.

    So, I've two more tests to do. Don't hold your breath though....
    I'm not optimistic.
