Night Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 Well i set up the game, and i get to the screen where it say's Waiting for oppenant your IP is blah blah and i give it to him but when he tries to connect he get's an error message that say's Socket Expired. I saw another thread about it but nothing was really answered. I'm using a Cable and so does he. Any ideas? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubert Cater Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 As stated in the TCP/IP guide that configuration will not work meaning you are most likely on a LAN or using a Router with a Cable/DSL connection. This is not a limitation of SC but more of a fact of life in regards to TCP/IP configurations in general. If you are using a router there is information contained in the guide that should enable you to play SC by forwarding port 6530 to the router forwarding table. Hope this helps, Hubert 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Posted January 28, 2003 Author Share Posted January 28, 2003 Dude, i have no idea what your talking about. I saw about the 6530 on other posts and in the how to but I have no idea how to do that. I doubt i have the guide for my cable and if i do i have no clue where it is. Thanks anyway i guess... AI it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 In general what the 192.x.x means is that you cannot host unless you can forward the socket port that SC is using, but you can still join an opponent if they are able to properly host the game.
