Kent747 Posted February 23, 2004 Posted February 23, 2004 step 1. forward the ports on your router, (check your config file to see what port your game is listening on, 2003is default). step2. run the server/ step3. go to http://www.whatismyip.com and tell your friend the ip that gives you. And have him connect to that ip. step4. connect to your server via your LAN ip. step5. play
Kent747 Posted February 23, 2004 Posted February 23, 2004 no prob. .. pretty sure thats in the manual though
