Hi,
I've installed the newiest version of Worms Armageddon. Everything works, playing in the same LAN, playing over Hamachi and playing on WormNet. I've also opened the Ports, so I'm able to open a game and others can join on wormnet, but it is not possible to join a game on wormnet if the hoster is in the same private network as I am. (So we both have the same public IP)
Do you have some tips how to solve this problem?
thx
Best regards

Hi,
You have two options:
1. Host the game using a 3rd-party service, such as HostingBuddy or WormNAT2, so that the actual host IP will no longer be inside your network;
2. Get the URL to the game (e.g. by making the host use the /url command in chat, or by copying the link from a snooper, such as WebSnoop (http://snoop.worms2d.info/)), then replace the external IP address with the hoster's internal (LAN) IP address.
