If properly set up, GIT can do everything a VPN can do other then the encryption, so there is never any need to use a VPN.

Then whats the proper configration for just this game ? we have the ports.. what more can we do? ...

ok awesome, now it works and we both can see each other in the lobby but we can only get in the lobby, when he tries joining a game it times out, so for some reason he cant get inside my room, any ideas?

Me n my friends also had that prob first ... we fixed somehow... try open more ports.. But the thing is now we can join eachothers games without getting timed out but when we start the game the other players "laggs out"
before the game even starts

[had0ken]

We can't help you with that because we do not have the game among other reasons.
Also, just copying somebody else's configuration window will not always make it work for you, since how you configure GIT is largely dependant on how your network is set up and if you use NAT and if the other person on the other side uses NAT, etc. You really need to understand more about your own network in order to set up GIT.
For finding ports that applications use, GIT provides logging abilities, but other tools as simple as netstat work too. If under WinXP you can use the -p option for netstat and compare the PID with the PID in task manager to find which ports are owned by which application, but netstat may not always show UDP ports in use.

Are u sure u can have more then 1 user connected at the same time using WINXP PRO built in VPN?

yea... simply look in the setting it's possible.

and i dont understand, did you got to play the game or not ?
at first it looked like you played but from your recent post look like you didn't

[had0ken]

can anyone provide any suggestions. me and my friend can only make it to the lobby, and now we both see each other. however when i create a game or when he creates the other person cannot join it. when they try joining it says it timed out.

anyone have any solutions/ suggestions?

[dosygnet]

I tryed EVERYTHING

VPN
Battle lan
GIt

All of them togethor or in Pair

NOTHING WORK
when we start the game it alway say that the other has been dropped

Comeone Someone should have an idea

[had0ken]

well at least u can get inside ur game room...

we cant even get inside our game room because when someone tries joining a game it wont allow it and just says timed out....


what ports are u using dosygnet??

try using 8086, 1904, 8094, 8088-28088

msg me back with results and what ports u guys using

[dosygnet]

i use 80 , 81 , 8086-28088

But i get timed out tioo but click on it in 4 or 5 try it will connect

[had0ken]

any luck with the ports i told u?

[dosygnet]

nope

[had0ken]

damn, well i guess we will have to wait till someone figures out a way

[Pred8or]

It works to join eachothers games with UDP-fastest but players drop when the game starts.. thats the prob right?

Then maybee thats because in lobby the game uses UDP but when ingame the game maybe uses TCP right?
So can anyone try with both UDP/TCP enabled in GIT?

Maybe thats why I got it to work using VPN and GIt together...

Anyway have no friends around at the time to try with so try it out and if someone manage to get this working without VPN plz POST detailed config!!
