cell Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 Hello all you vets out there. I just discovered this game series the other day when I was on Gamespots Top PC Games and I tried it out for the first time with my friend in MD, I live in VA. He was over for a sleepover and so we did a TCP/IP game (i got 2 computers). The adress was simple, 192.168.1.100 for me and .101 for him. I don't know how to make it so when he goes home to MD, we can still play. It says my IP is still 192.168.1.100 when I start a game and when I go find my computers invidual, off-network IP, it doesn't work. Please help! I'm sure this must be possible! I have a Linksys Router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Rosenrosen Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 I also have two IP addresses on my computer. I have a 192.168.x.x number for my internal network. I have an externally visible IP from my cable modem. (In Windows 2000, I have two LAN connections, one for each network.) When I load CM and host a TCP/IP game, the game tells me both my internal and external IP. Then I can just tell my opponent the correct one and he can connect. I've never had any problems connecting. Based on this, I would suggest that if CM is only giving you your internal IP when you host a game, there is probably a more global issue with your network config than CM. Have you tried ipconfig to get more info about your network setup? Dr. Rosenrosen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
