• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Using a Firewall?
you should get a message from the firewall when you open the Multiplayer screen asking if you wish to allow CFS2 to access the internet, trouble is you dont see it if you have CFS2 running in full screen mode.

Using a router?
If so you need to open (Port Forward) these ports:

TCP Ports:
443-443
6667-6667
28800-29100
2300-2400
47624-47624

UDP Ports:
2300-2400


Here is a KB article that describe the necessary ports that need to
be open.

CFS2 is a DirectX 7 game

This might help too.

If your just doing it at home with both computers, Here are some tips.

#1-make sure the computers are on the same workgroup-Example(Right click the My computer Icon, click properties, Then click the Computer Name tab. If they are not on the same workgroup, Click the button labeled Change. It will bring up a window where you can change the workgroup, computer name and domain names.

#2-make sure they have differrent IP Addresses. To check your IP address(IP stands for Internet Protocol) click start, then run. Type cmd in the window. It will bring up a window with a black screen and white letters. Type ipconfig in there and it will show you your IP address.

Other than that, I'm not sure.
