Hi all. I have a problem getting the online mode working in FS2004.
When I go to the Multiplayer option, I get nothing. No servers - nothing.
My PC (XP) is running zonealarm, and the PC is behind a firewalled router.
I suspect it is a firewall problem but am not sure. Tried turning both
firewalls off but it didn't seem to have any effect. What IP address should
I enter? Should it be the IP address of the router (that is the one assigned
by the ISP) or should it be the address I'm assigned by the router (that is a
NAT'ed address)?
If it is the former, I take it I must configure port forwarding on the router.
Which ports are used?
Any clues, online help appreciated.
Pete
