Multiplayer / Online Game issue

[GaryChildress]

Aaaarrrggg. [:(] I forwarded the correct router ports, shut down my bitdefender firewall and privacy protection and I still cannot connect with my friend in a multiplayer game.

When I go to canyouseeme.org and type in 2300 it says it doesn't see me. Is there anything else I need to do? When my friend and I connected to Hamachi Lan system he sees the game I create but he is unable to join. There must be something we still need to do. [:(]

Also, when I click on the "ready" button, my name turns green. Do I click on the "ready" button before or after he is trying to join the game?

Thanks for any help.

Click ready any time.

Do you have "windows firewall" as well as bitdefender?

Does your router have a firewall as well?

[GaryChildress]

Windows firewall is disabled. My router has a firewall. I thought that if I forwarded the ports in the router that was supposed to let CoI get around the firewall. No? [&:]

[Andrew Williams]

No

Port forwarding is different from firewall protection.


The game must be allowed through all firewalls.

I guess I will try connecting the modem directly to the PC to get around the router. If my modem has a firewall, then I'm screwed because I don't have any utility that I am aware of to configure the modem.

So...
Could anyone help me?
