Hosting Problems?

[Penguins]

When I go on the Worms 2 Demo Multiplayer one on Internet, I make a game but no one can join? Can anyone help me?

[Spad_DeeAk]

do you have a router?

if u dont know what that means...do you have broadband, and more than 1 computer at your house?

if so, go to my site - http://spadger.uk.ro & look up the 'router problems' page.

[franpa]

nb 1300 plus 4?

[Penguins]

Yes! Do you have that one! :D

read your router's manual...or do a google search on your router model. you should understand what you are doing...not just blindly follow instructions from someone on a forum.

username = admin
password = password

URL address = 192.168.1.1

click "show advance settings" located on the left... then click "port forwarding" on the left... then enter the following ports...

# Port 47624
# port 17000 (17171 demo)
# port 5431
# port 53
enter them for both udp and tcp.

for the host IP = run worms 2 and use the IP address it displays in its corner...

enter them like in this picture... http://web.aanet.com.au/Student_WebZone/Bugs/Modem%20Router/router.PNG

-----
click the "save settings and reboot" and voila... your router is configured :)

ask for more help which you'll need once you've done this :)

Ok how do I get into the administration thing again? I've done it before but forgot it's something to do with command proprt but what do you type in that?

[franpa]

Oh ok, my IP Address is 192.168.1.6 So I'll have to change it around.

[franpa]

yep .

[Penguins]

Ok i got my IP Address and is this correct? http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j95/FluffYbelly/Okthis.png

Edit: If it is, can you come on Worms 2 demo in the channel and test If I can make?

[franpa]

sure... but one more thing is w2mc is needed... you know how to edit shorcuts and how to use windows explorer?

just extract this zip into your worms 2 folder and change your worms 2 shortcut to point to the worms 2.bat file instead of frontend.exe (the bat file will allways launch both the w2mc program and worms 2 at the same time... you need to run w2mc and set it everytime you want to host)

[franpa]

oh and im hosting on the demo... so if you want a game just hurry and get there now!

edit: lol he is there :)

What do you mean by change your worms 2 shortcut to point to the worms 2.bat file instead of frontend.exe How do I do that? And what do I do with WC?

[franpa]

did you extract it into your worms 2 folder?

right click on your shortcut and go to properties...

in the "target" box change the stuff after the last \ but before the last " to worms 2.bat

[franpa]

use the shortcut to play your game... then in the extra program that pops up enter your IP from www.whatsmyip.com into the ip box and hit set... then you can host :)

[Penguins]

Whatsmyip doesn't work and what extra program?

[franpa]

dont worry its obviously too hard for me to simplify it any further... no offence intended.

[Spad_DeeAk]

go to my site, read and COMPREHEND the 'router problems' page. if you payed attention, you'd know its www.whatISmyip.com
100's of people have used my site, and not had to ask stupid questions. i can promise you...your computer, and your router are no different to anyone elses...if somethings not working, its coz YOU didnt pay attention & follow the instructions.
