fortycreek Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Hi: A friend and I are attempting to play a network game. After entering his IP address I get a "socket error" message. What are we doing wrong?? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsmm Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 This happens a lot, my advice to you would be to try again, or do a hotseat (if possible) Hope this helps, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEVILS ADJUTANT Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Are you using Hamachi to connect to each other ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 If either one of you is using a Router then you should take a look at the following documentation to see what you have to do to make things work, otherwise using Hamachi will help as well: http://www.furysoftware.com/documents/TCPIP_Quick_How_To.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortycreek Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 Thanks for the advice. We are not using Hamachi. Both of us have routers so we will read the advice. BTW - what is Hamachi?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Forycreek, Here are a few informative links on the product as it helps those that play behind routers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamachi https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi/vpn.asp?lang=en Hope this helps, Hubert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
