Title: Internet multiplayer game between a Mac OSX server & a Windows XP client Post by: hoppla on May 22, 2007, 02:51:58 PM Hi all
I am a new OpenArena user... and not really experimented, sorry about it. I installed OA on my G4 iMac running Mac OSX 10.4 and it's working well. I also installed OA on my Dell Windows XP laptop, and it's working well. I connected them on my local network for a multiplayer game, and it was ok. But I didn't succeed in connecting them via Internet :-( I used the "whatismyip" website to find the server IP address, but I can't detect the server from the client computer... Can anyone help me for that ? (ps : I would like to avoid VNC configuration if possible) PS : There is no Firewall turned on on my WinXP laptop Title: Re: Internet multiplayer game between a Mac OSX server & a Windows XP client Post by: Ylle on May 22, 2007, 03:23:16 PM Your router then?
I had to open up ports on my router for OA to even connect to the master server. Title: Re: Internet multiplayer game between a Mac OSX server & a Windows XP client Post by: hoppla on May 23, 2007, 01:35:34 AM I didn't find any Firewall option on my router's html config page (it's an adsl+phone preconfigured provider's box)... I have to check with the provider if there is an option for it (they have a Firewall service online, so perhaps they don't have one in the box)
Someone suggested me that it could be impossible to test the Internet connexion between 2 computers connected on the same router. If it's true it means that I will have to test the connexion from two separate Internet connexions (difficult to be everywhere simultaneously) Title: Re: Internet multiplayer game between a Mac OSX server & a Windows XP client Post by: fromhell on May 23, 2007, 01:56:05 AM Just show you know the master server is down
