Croda Posted November 30, 2000 Share Posted November 30, 2000 Just a note on my experience last night. I fired up a TCP/IP game as the host. When I saw the IP address that CM displayed, I realized that it looked somewhat familiar. The address it gave me was a dummy that is stored in my NIC for use when I play on my friends LAN. Seeing as I was using a dial-up connection, I knew this wasn't going to cut it. It really wasn't a problem at all for me to get the dial-up IP that I was assigned, but after reading a post yesterday about the CM-displayed IP not changing when the host moved the file to a different IP, I thought I'd mention this. Otherwise, the game ran beautifully! ------------------ <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Elijah Meeks: You rock, Croda<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee Posted November 30, 2000 Share Posted November 30, 2000 The documentation for the beta patch says that this will happen, basically it is grabbing the first IP address it finds. ------------------ Veni, vidi, panzerschrecki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watts Posted December 1, 2000 Share Posted December 1, 2000 Im not sure exactly what the problem is, but if you have IP masquerading, its quite difficult to host a game. To find your real IP adress, you can either run winipcfg.exe or there is a page posted somewhere else on this board that will tell you what your real IP is.
