cannot host an online game

from Sins Forums
Every time I try to host a game players who want to join get a dissconnected message and cannot join game. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Have you forwarded port 6112 (tcp) to your pc's IP address from your router?

I don't even have access to do that. I am using a university network. :(

@cscoles

As has been pointed out several times by the Devs and others (incl. myself) patch 1.1 will allow those who cannot/choose not to/refuse to be bothered to change their network settings to enable a NAT-T type netcode option for SINS which will "tunnel-past/through" routers and firewalls. Reading is your friend.  ;p 


@AARMSTRONG4

If you're NOT at a university dorm please follow Umderbayer's advice and read my guide. It works (at least for those who can read and follow steps...hehe). Send me a PM if you need me to clarify things in the guide via my TS Server.

thanks,

the Monk
