Guest Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 I'm using a shared internet connection over 1 lan cable. I tryed it and I couldn't connect to /find any servers. Can anybody help me...
Guest Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 Anybody? I really want to play online. Most of my online games don't work. I want this to be one that does.
DerKeks Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 LOL, first, try this------>Documentation second, do you know a Firewall?
Magus1724 Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 What is splicing those 2 connections? If it's a router you have to port-forward, or allow DMZ. Usually it's only a problem for hosting but meh
Guest Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 It's just a network connection to my sister's computer, allowing me to use the internet, she still lives with me and my mother*. It's the only one with internet and I don't pay the bills, so I can't get another. * My dad died in november. EDIT: It's a lan cable that's slicing the connections.
AlienX Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 It sounds like you probs use a Proxy Server thats setup on the PC with the internet connection... If you do use a proxy, you wont be able to play any online games (unless they support it, which hardly any do) You can find out if your using a proxy server by following these steps: (IE ONLY) 1) Open Internet Explorer 2) Select Tools > Internet Options 3) Goto the Connections tab, and select LAN Settings If "Use a proxy server for your LAN" is ticked then i would assume you are using one. If it is ticked, try to untick it and see if you can still get to a website, if you cant then you are 100% using a proxy server and not a NAT Gateway.
darkdreamingdan Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 are you sure he's not using Internet Connection Sharing? No one uses proxies nowadays - the only reason i can see to use it is because its not an ethernet LAN, but serial or ltp which no one uses anymore.
darkdreamingdan Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Proxies are unreliable and cause incompatibilities with most games nowadays. If you're connected by Ethernet, i suggest you try enabling Internet Connection Sharing on your Sister's computer. You can then set your own PC to connect to the internet via her PC (use the network connection wizard). You should be then connected without the use of proxies - and hopefully that'll solve your problem.
Guest Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Whats the difference between an ethernet cable (sp?) and a LAN cable?

I'm not on an Ethernet (I think) but I am using Internet connection sharing with proxies, I can't get another type.
Guest Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Forget it, I've just modded my game. I'm gonna uninstall MTA, sorry for losing a player.
Guest Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 I'm really sorry to hear for the loss of your father. Losing a very close person is always hard to accept. But, you shouldn't give up on getting your internet to work properly.
DerKeks Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 OK, try it this Way...what is written on your cable....maybe "cat 5" or serial or something other???
