Stormbringer Posted September 23, 2001 Share Posted September 23, 2001 I have a cable modem and static ip. It usually works the first game then my opponent can't find the ip when I try to host the rematch. If I restart they can then see the ip which is always the same. Is there some setting I might attempt to tweak? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted September 23, 2001 Share Posted September 23, 2001 Do you have to restart the computer or have you tried exiting and restarting CM ? Has your opponent restarted their CM game ? Otherwise I'm not aware of a TCP/IP tweak you can perform in CM to alleviate your problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted September 23, 2001 Author Share Posted September 23, 2001 Yes I have to restart my computer, I don't think just restarting the game does it.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted September 23, 2001 Share Posted September 23, 2001 Are you using any sort of firewall software or hardware ? Do you use a router with a built-in NAT ? At what point can your opponent no longer ping your IP address ? Does your IP address become invisible to Windows completely from your opponent's view or is it that just CMBO no longer seems to see the IP (but your opponent could still ping it) ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted September 23, 2001 Author Share Posted September 23, 2001 I do have Zone Alarm firewall but so far once you allow a certain...path?..it doesn't seem to stop anything.I am not sure what you mean by pinging my IP. ICQ still works and as far as I can tell everything else does as well. While playing someone in Spain, I live in the U.S., who had a cable modem I thought that we played several games without restarting and had no problem. The problem seems to occur against people with phone connections after one connection. Last night I played someone, a newbie, and he had not downloaded the patch. He saw my IP and got the "wrong version" message. He installed the patch but then could not reconnect. He hosted and everything worked out fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
