Multiplayer Troubles

[unmerged(7177)]

Question about multiplayer:

Should any problem arise if an internet user from AOL tries to host a game, and a regular net user tries to join him in EU1?

The only program that the AOL user had running was AOLIM...

And every time I tried to join him, It said his IP was not hosting a game;

then we turned it around and I hosted;

he could join my game, but, after I hit START

I received "lagging" notices with red exclamation marks

Dialogue Box:
-
Conman cannot join game !!!!!

RESUME Loading?????
-
I hit resume and after 3 tries, he was auto-kicked from the game?

Any way to remedy this situation that anyone knows of?

Thanks.

I'll move this to the MP section and let someone with knowledge take care of it.

U did not have to close it though

Sounds a bit odd.

Was there a firewall involved?

Have you both managed to connect to other EU users?

I've known people who can connect just fine with the atrocity known as AOL (it's a pos connection, but it does connect) so it must be a firewall problem.

I'll ask him if he has a firewall- I turned off mine for the event.

Although I don't think he has a firewall ???

And no, Mowers, neither of us has managed to play anyone else with EU... We're the only locals we know who wished to play a game between each other.

I'll ask about the firewall.

But this was for EU I just so you know... (I have no idea why it's here in the EU II section???)

thanks
