No one can join my games.....(TAKE 3)
 

Ok here is the specs:

I am on a LAN Based Network with 4 PCs (3 PCs on Windows ME and 1 On Windows XP) all 4 PCs connect to the internet thur 1 main server (Windows 2003 Server) Which is directly connected to the internet thur a Cable Modem.

I wanna host my own games instead of just joining, but the Windows 2003 Server doesn't take incoming connections.

I know that a dont have a router, or a gateway, but the server does have a firewall (Internet Connection Firewall)

The question is, How do I configue the internet conection firewall on windows 2003 to accept connections from other people when I host games.

In other words, I wanna know how to open ports on ICF for JJ2.

Please help.

Oh and for tech purposes, here is my IP address:

67.83.92.66

Simple, use the guide made by MS.

(towards the buttom)

Do it on your server. on point 8 which says: In Name or IP address of the computer hosting this service on your network, type 127.0.0.1.

Put your INTERNAL IP (of the PC you want to play JJ2 on in there ) in instead. (to find it out, run this on your PC: Start > Run > ipconfig /all)

you need to open port :10052 once, for TCP.
and once again, for UDP.


then you should be done :)

Do I open ports for both internal and external?

NEVERMIND! IT WORKS! :D

I love yyyooou!!
