the game communicates on tcp/udp port 6112, by googlesearch.
Make SURE your LANs are compatibly addressed.
By that, i mean, you have to be on the same ip subnet.
1) make sure all your routers and computers (between the both of you!) have different ip addresses (on the same subnet)
2) pick different addresses for yourselves. done.
example: you: router: 192.168.1.1, computer 192.168.1.2, printer 192.168.1.5
friend: router: 192.168.1.10, computer 192.168.1.11, microwave 192.168.1.69
Compatible subnet (192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0), different addresses for everything.
set up git as follows.
Config:
other person's internet address
port 213
method udp-fastest
don't checkmark 'be tcp listen'
ipx sockets none
tcp/udp ports: pick Starcraft or type 6112, click add, click ok
then go to advanced config.
check these boxes
802.2
eth II
arp
zlib
tcp
udp
icmp
also match source port
don't send routable
the rest leave unchecked/blank
done. click ok
make sure you set your router to forward udp port 213 to your computer.
if you don't have a router, you've got some more issues to work through.
Have your friend do the same thing... they put your internet address in the config box, and the rest is the same.
good luck
