I can't join a game at home
I can connect to games at work but not at home. So, if I play long at work, I may end up eventually being home during the day because I will have no job, then I will soon have no life because Bolo was my life from 1993-1995. I left the mac world and had to leave Bolo. I've been away since then, recovering but last week discovered winbolo. oh boy.. how the obsession comes back so quickly, it is always in your blood.
I wonder what happened to my "My other car is a Bolo Tank" bumper sticker..
Anyway.. hi, I'm back but a little rusty.. actually I never was that good, but love the game anyway.
Thanks to all you that let me play in that 4x4 last night (from work). :D
But I still can connect to a game at home. I can host a game and I see the game on winbolo.net but I don't think anyone can join me.
I have cable modem connected to a Linksys WRT54G wireless router which is connected to a server. My PC is using an ethernet connection to the router versus wireless. The router is set up with DHCP to dynamically assign IP addresses but I set up my computer's tcp/ip settings to have a static IP (192.168.1.90). I logged into the router and opened the UDP and TCP ports for that ip address for the range of 27500 -27550. I turned off windows firewall on my PC. I still can not join network games. Then I turned off dhcp completely on the router. And I tried turing off the firewall on the router. Could my ISP be blocking ports?
Can anyone help?
