Multiplayer question

Yesterday Allen and I had a multiplayer session through Internet. My xp machine made ​​of host, and I adhered to play with my win7 conjunction with Allen. we still have trouble making hosting with win7 using DSL. but we are on track and Allen made ​​some progress with win7 firewall and I'm trying to demilitarize ports assigned to IP to avoid router firewall.
By this actual way is possible as u can see, to play a multiplayer session at any time, but i have doubts about my U.S. robotics 56 ext modem speed is enough to host 8 players for session, i think YES because there are not much information engaged , only possitions, speeds, and bullets in the air (is my thought) all player included me could join using DSL and win7 or optic fiber. SO MANY THANKS TO ALLEN!!
cheers

I have a U.S. Robotics 56k Faxmodem V.92. Is this what you used and if Yes how did you get it to work with this new fangled Internet set up?

Anyone else
As I told Misson. You send me a Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) time and I'll set up and you can look for me. For me to join Mission I had to disable my Windows Firewall. My XP dosn't have a Antivirus but you should also disable any Antivirus as well.

In the Control Panel is the Windows Firewall. On XP once youn open Windows Firewall you will be at the place need to shut off the Windows Firewall. On Win 7 once Windows Firewall is open on the top left is "Turn Windows Firewall on or off" Click on this than you will be at the place needed to shut of the 2 Win 7. Disable both the Home or work (private) and a Public Firewalls.

Most Antivirus all you need to do is find it on the lower right and right click on it. There should Disable or Pause option.

Than fire up CFS2. If things work well a few hours later after geting shoot down and shooting down others you can enable Windows Firewall and your Antivirus the same way disabled them.
 
I'm not sure just what you are asking for, but I'm in the Eastern US timezone and my time is the same as SOH.

Hi to everybody! First the modem setings is nothin special, I used the modem internal of my dell latitud D400 and in my job I use the U.S. R. for remote scurity system programing and altough both are 56k the U.S. is more faster than internal modem (also the U.S. can reduce speed for correcting problems automatically) . I have a quick dial icon in my desktop , so it dial to internet provider dialing 09091234 , once i have conection , I open cfs2 , and click GET IP in the hosting screen (multiplayer item) , once that i know the ip of my provider I share it with u, thats it and that is all.
I have to say also , that I could join and host iternet (WAN) session without deactivating any firewall, but I have admit too that my security was seting to lower, and not all systems are the same.
How to set the ports in the router: i´m showing this pic of my forwarding ports router, but u need this in theory only for HOST session in a DSL conection.
cheers
Mario

BTW , u say when and I´ll be hosting.
 
Tomorrow at 12PM US West Cost or 3PM US East Cost (7 PM UTC) I'm going to try to host a game. I know this may be too early for most. If you can make this time PM me so I can sent back the IP address.
 
I have the CFS2 room open for the 12PM US West Cost or 3PM US East Cost (7 PM UTC) game and IP is 76.246.252.205

I will post back when I close it.
 
I´m coming from my job, but too late . I´m sorry. I hope u have had fun!. I´ll try to be there the next time.:applause::jump:
 
Mission....

I tried to join Allen's game on Thursday but never could make the connection. I'll see if I can connect to yours when you supply the IP.
 
I tied all week to get the needed ports open but it looks like my modem or AT&T is blocking the ports from being opened.
 
For my Win7 to join I had to do port forwarding. I could see and join the room but not be in game flying
 
If Mission send me the info on seting up my U.S Robotics 56K so I can host a game we can working geting you set up.
