Dirtweasle Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 Any chance to get a description in a bit more detail? I struggled through some DSL issues and Schrullenhaft was very helpful, but I think you might want to actually describe what happens, what your settings are, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 You may want to find out if your ISP uses NAT, which seems to be more and more common for dialup ISPs. NAT will pretty much prevent you from hosting a CM session (since the IP address associated with your machine isn't seen by anyone else outside of your ISP). What's My IP Address is a webpage that will report the IP address that the Internet sees. However this may be an IP address that isn't associated directly with your computer, but instead just the ISP itself. You may want to contact your ISP about whether it uses NAT for dialup access and what their policy on game hosting is (though you're not hosting a game server where a lot of people will connect, just one opponent). Sometimes you can get a 'host-capable' account for an additional fee (where they'll give you a direct IP address that CM can use). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
