Help with MP connection

[Master Zen]

Hola,

I'm kinda new with Civ2 MGE multiplayer, I played once with a friend no problem. After that however, I have tried many times and allways have connecton problems, after the host sets up the game, nobody can connect. I've tried games with 4 people, each one tried being the host and no-one could connect.

Any suggestions?

I am using Win XP, with patch 1.3.

Thank you very much for your help.

This crops up every month or 2; either you are entering the wrong IP of the host to connect to, or, more likely, the host is behind a router/firewall that requires extra configuration before you can play. Post your situation and I will try and help you out.

It was the Firewall! Finally the happy days are here again!

Thanx a million DrSpike

Well I didn't tell you much but you are welcome.

certainly don't want to ask me for advice

[DrSpike]

Unless it's advice on appropriate curses when your comp dies.
