You forwarded the ports too?

If you host a game, does it work properly?

drudown · « **Reply #4 on:** August 26, 2003, 07:37:00 PM »

ive forwarded the ports to 8602 and i cant host games either

That is weird. Does it work with any other games for you?

drudown, I was thinking about this today (your problem). Are you forwarding the ports of your router for your PC? It should be your PC, not your Xbox (not saying you are doing it wrong, but didn't know how to word it differently

)

No, you need to forward the port 8602 on your router for your PC's IP

Access your router however you do it. If your PC DCHP address is 192.168.1.100, forward the port 8602 to 8602 for that DCHP address.

But I thought you said you forwarded the port already...
