Not sure how things work with a cable modem/router, but you'll need to
ensure you have the two ports 2934 and 2935 open for UDP and forwarded
to the internal IP of your F4 AF PC (apparently no need for TCP, but
it wouldn't do any harm if you forwarded those as well). Has to get
past your firewall as well. Apologies if you already know all this
<g>.

Generally, the MP interface is a lot tidier than it was before. Your
best bet, however, is to check the threads at Frugal's forums - plenty
of servers being advertised there. Jetnet is dead (for AF), so there's
no centralised lobby to see other people online ... yet.

Best bit of advice I've seen at Frugal's regarding MP is: if you have
a failed connect, for any reason, come *right out of Falcon* then wait
a minute or so. Sacrificing a virgin usually works, but that's a
pretty rare commodity these days <ggg>.

I checked and didn't see any, but of course that doesn't mean
it is not there. Ok how about if we do this the hard way. Anyone
interested in online this weekend email me at my hotmail address.
I will also have a Roger Wilco server up and running.

I had a great 2+ years doing Medal of Honor online as a server
with roger wilco and am hoping that F4 will now be as great.

I think it would be great if allot of the old timers wanted to give it
a shot. But of course anyone is welcome except for Mr Marhino :-)

Come on NOS time to come out of hiding. And PD, time to put on
your pink flight suit :-)

Absolutely!!!! Just email me. I have sort of remembered much
of F4 and my old digital Stickworks F22 file still works so I
should be able to last for a few minutes :-)
