Libertine Posted 17 March 2006 Share Posted 17 March 2006 Me and my mate are trying to play FM06 online, but when we type the IP address into the 'Join Game' box, it says that it cannot connect to the server. Anyone know a way around this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know a way around this? Is your firewall blocking the connection do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCFC UK Posted 17 March 2006 Share Posted 17 March 2006 Also Make sure you have enbaled run as server in the game preferences menu. If you are using a router or a firewall, you need to open ports 1093 (TCP) and 1094 (UDP). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted 17 March 2006 Share Posted 17 March 2006 I haven't got a network game up and running since the game was renamed to Football Manager. I can't connect to anyone else nor host a game myself. I'm behind a router and have a vague idea of how to open up those ports but still get no success afterwards. Rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libertine Posted 17 March 2006 Author Share Posted 17 March 2006 I've ticked 'run as server', but it still doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCFC UK Posted 17 March 2006 Share Posted 17 March 2006 I think its defo something to do with that, make sure Windows firewall is not blocking it, or just turn off your firewall for a minute to check if works then. Apart from that, am stumped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anish Posted 17 March 2006 Share Posted 17 March 2006 If you wanna open your ports you should refer to your router manual. You have to change your router settings by logging into the router (by typing in something like 192.168.1.1 and then putting in your username and password). Somewhere in the settings screen there should be an option to manually open ports (TCP or UDP) - there you type in the port numbers that you want to open. It's not too difficult to do.
