Far Cry 2 LAN problem

ub3rn00b6 · 01-25-2009, 08:05 AM

When I host and my friend wants to join, the game simply won't show up. I tried switching the host computers and I'm sure that I put every option right.

What's wrong?

Why i gotta do that, I don't want to host an online server...

Mcninjaguy · 01-30-2009, 11:28 AM

its not for hosting its so you can play the game

uhhhmmm, why i gotta do it in the first place? I can host other games in LAN. Besides my router is not on the list.

Wait, is that software or hardware, if its hardware, i won't do all that for just a game

Have you routed ports 9000-9007 UDP & TCP to your computer's IP?

What model is your router? You can usually follow the instructions for similar models at portforward.com without any problems.
