Ok I finally got a game done ALTHOUGH, thinking the multiplayer worked... it sadly did not.

When joining another game over the internet it fails to join. I've double checked the code it works providing the game is on the same computer. I've double checked the IP all of which is correct. But sadly it doesn't appear to be able to connect to another game via Internet .

Additional Info:
Fire walls were down for a VERY short period of time to test if that was the problem. Which it wasn't

There is no errors, apart from Cannot join Game. I've set the connect to be TCP/IP, i have the IP entered in Automatically from the game selected in the lobby.


Any advise?

------------------------------------------------
I have one back up plan on how to do the multiplayer, but it will only be used as a last resort. *Tempted to go that way now*

I was having this problem for the longest time. Read my thread below, it may help you solve your problem.

If either computers are behind a router then you need to set up port forwarding. For the host use the computer's internal ip, which can be obtained by typing ipconfig into MSDOS. For the client use the host's external ip, which can be obtained from http://whatismyip.com
Also take a look at Benjamin's Tempest Plugin, it is very effective.

I feel your pain.

I had the same problem myself, so I had to make mine local.
