Hi,

I'm running XP Home Edition with a Netgear FVS318 router.

I've followed the instructions on Liksi's and Spadger's help pages and forwarded ports 47624, 1000-3212, 17000, 5431 and 53 to my new static IP address.

I have the most up to date patch from Worms2.com and I downloaded the IP switch tool to show an IP 86.128... etc.

I can connect to the internet rooms but still have the same problem of not being able to connect to a game or have anyone connect to one I'm hosting.

I've made sure frontend.exe is allowed through Windows Firewall. I even tried bypassing the Router with a DMZ Server to no avail.

What else could it be?? Thanks, Theantoff

Unless I've forgotten something, I think you've done the most you can at your end.

It could be that the player you're trying to connect to has not been as thorough as you and is blocking you from connecting. Do they have a router ip? Can you get another player in the room to check they are "joinable" before you try?

He's saying do they, the people you're trying to join, have a router IP (ie their IP address shows up as 192.168.x.x or 10.0.0.1 or something similar)

No, I've checked that the people I'm trying to connect to have an IP starting something like 86.128 etc. (Ie. not a local IP) and people can't connect to me either, despite my IP showing as 86.128. etc.
