Shmavis Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Have you made sure that you're using a correct IP address? I use whatismyip.com. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shmavis Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Can you tell me/us of anything that did or may have changed in your game since you first played it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
para Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 we played a map friday. It took about 5 or 6 attempts of him or me trying to host/join. we allowed cmbb access via our avs and xp firewalls.We tried the whats my ip test and eventually got it to work,with me as host. Then last night same thing happened again,this time though by turning off our av's it connected and we played a map. when we tried to play a 2nd map we had the connecting problems.I hope this makes some sense to you 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmavis Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Anyone can jump in and correct me, but the distance between you and your opponent, coupled with the size of the scenario, may be having an effect on your connection. For example, I've had connection and turn processing problems when playing large scenarios against opponents who lived a good distance from me. Is this the case? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
para Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 We live about 70 miles(100Km?) from each other and the map was 25+turns. we are both using routers-we have made sure that xp firewall(exception)allows cmbb access [ August 15, 2006, 02:16 PM: Message edited by: para ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
