Can't find anyone online :-(

[xFLAMESx]

Hey guys i've been trying for several weeks but can't find anyone who still plays CFS(1) online.

Any way I can FORCE people to play online?

IE: Threaten them with certain death if they don't

Only jokin - it's just soooooooooooo annoying.

Thanx. Carl

Two questions:

1.  Are you on dialup?

2.  Are you behind a router?

Answers :

1. No - I'm on broadband

2. How do I find out?

Thanx. Carl

Can we fly CFS1 with a TCP/IP? If you can, then I may be interested to fly with you. Do you have a microphone?

Okay so no to both questions.  (Long story short, if you had a router you'd know.  lol)

Run your antivirus and spyware cleanup tools.

If you're looking for a spyware tool, check out Adaware and/or Spyware Search and Destroy.  (I run 'em both.)

Antivirus you hopefully have already.  Run them all and see if that improves it any.

To Hyperion - thanx i'll try it.

To Dan - yes we can use TCP/IP connection - just one question, how does it work? (I know I'm thick )

Thanx. Carl

An IP game is just what it sounds like.  The host types their IP address (basically the physical numerical address of your computer which can be found out at www.ipchicken.com) into the window, and hosts the session.  Then the other players connect to that session.

Basically you're using your computer as the server upon which the game is stored.

(You've gotta be on while they're on, or you won't know whether they're there or not.  lol)

FYI, don't be so public about your IP addy.  In the wrong hands, interesting things can happen.

I know - I do a bit of casual hacking now and then  ;D

I'm online now - look for Yay i'm playing online using my IP. (Hope it works)

Thanx. Carl

[xFLAMESx]

I give-up - i'll try again at another date

Thanx. Carl
