Title: Internet Play!!!
Post by: DKealt on June 09, 2010, 12:07:54 PM

Hi all!!!

I've recently got into internet play again. However, I'm having issues, mainly as I can't host a game

If I host a match on LAN everything is fine, but whenever I select to host via Internet, no one can find me

I'm very out of touch with this sort of thing and if anyone knows why it isn't working and answer will be very welcome!!!

Did you forward all necessary ports?

what teleguy is saying is that if you are behind a router at your house you need to forward the ports BC needs to uses to broadcast the game over the net.

stbc 22101 to 28900

Is that forward all ports inbetween those numbers as well!!??

On my Belkin router you have to manually add each specific port number in turn

Also do you know which type to forward TCP/UDP of both?
