hogan99 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Got a friend that we play Barb and Africa corp all the time multi player. He up graded to WIN7, now he cannot host or join. he gets a 'cannot connect to tcp/ip network. We shut off firewalls, everything the same, cable modem, etc except for his new rig. Opened up all the ports, must be a win 7 setting I don't know about( I still run XP). When I host, he cannot connect either.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Does your friend use any security software (firewall/internet-security suites) that didn't come with Windows 7 ? These will possibly need TCP Port 7023 opened up for bi-directional data. Depending on the particular application you may also have to specify the application file name too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan99 Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Tried that , hard to help him, he is in Canada. Did open up 7023. Anyone else use win7 and can play multi player? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan99 Posted April 9, 2011 Author Share Posted April 9, 2011 So can anyone who runs win7 start a tcp/ip game or do you error out. Need to know , still trying to troubleshoot. By the way, playing against a human opponent is the way the game was meant to be played. Nothing harder or more satisfying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
