ZJJ 74 Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 If it's just going to be you and your friend, why go through ubi to host the game? Why not do direct IP? Take out the "middle man" (ubi.com). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteKnight77 1 Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Make sure that you diable XP's built in firewall when playing games online. As Zjj stated, direct IP will be better and you won't have to have the lag imparted by going through their servers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteKnight77 1 Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 You will have to configure Norton Internet Security to allow the game to pass through (open the ports in the firewall). If connected to a router, you can get your external IP (this is what you give people to join your game) at WhatIsMyIP.com. Remember that with a router you will have to access it's control panel to forward the ports for GR to the proper PC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
