First how do I start a game Do I give someone my current IP and it will show up or what? 2. When I open it, it says could not find IP and I have forwarded port 80
Any ideas

Are you trying to get into your own session? Or is FSHost comming up with red text saying it could not register with the host server?

Ok I got the IP worked out (#2) but my friend and I tried to play over FSHost (i hosted) but it wouldn't show up in the game.  I had the same IP that was in FSHost.  Also, when in FS2002 do you put the IP in IPX or TCP IP
Thanks

when you are running fs host on your computer you need to change YOUR computer port ONLY yours....

so the 23456 port is being used typically...

I choose to step up one on MY PC to 23457 and it will work..

Jared, I know you use FSHost.  Could you tell me, from start to finish, what you do to host a session.
Thanx
