DarkAngel Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 some sort of software firewall?. Nortons is the usual culprit for this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enigma6584 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Check your ip_config address numbers. Be sure you have the same address in your network router. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Yes.Static IP is your “friend”IP via DHCP is “bad”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Sean Posted July 25, 2012 Administrators Share Posted July 25, 2012 I think you had it working at some point. I can remember doing some MP with you guys. Have you tried hamachi? It can bypass firewalls. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnum50 Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 thats next... but yes, You were the first one I ever played MP with, I remember us in one tank, right after release... and you being extremely patience as our driver while I begged to know where the enemy was that you were telling me to engage. loland Gunny and I have played MP together before... and nothings changed with systems except for the new upgrade.What I don't understand is that I have my system with no firewall and in a DMZ... and can connect and host all other games, just not SB Pro PE with upgrade.thx 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Sean Posted July 26, 2012 Administrators Share Posted July 26, 2012 I posted in the mp thread over at simhq, I think you have the ip addresses wrong in your setup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnum50 Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 ya, that was fixed... but new problem, but not SB Pro PE I guess... damn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnum50 Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 thanks all, got it working! just wondering... is there a way to see who has SB Pro PE games up? Because while waiting for Gunny to connect for test, someone else joined in, then left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted July 26, 2012 Members Share Posted July 26, 2012 Posted a reply at SimHQ, but essentially the recommendation is to come here and take part in the scheduled events (check out the Multiplayer board of this forum). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was probably gunny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnum50 Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 no he joined too, and someone else... I was surprised... not really sure how i got it to work, I reset my router to factory defaults, then made a static IP, then followed your directions on the port opening... worked fine, must of been a router issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
