We miss each other in time zones a bit, unless im having a lazy Saturday or Sunday morning. Perhaps once youve proven your port forwarding you may want to look up Nephilim or Re-Ordained who are both very experianced EECH and EE2 multiplay pilots in your time zone.

Try logging into SimHQ TS now and then and see who is about. I fly with the pilot name of -=Bravo47=- If you see me in there say hello

ps- You can partially test your port forwarding by installing EECH on a second PC on home LAN. Start a campaign on one PC and try and join from the other.

Ok so ive got team speak installed and running on the SimHQ channel now i gotta figure out this port forwarding thingy, can anyone walk me though it? How do i know what the I.P. address is to circulate if i am hosting??

Look up your router model number here- www.portforward.com

Forward the directx 7 ports to your lan ip address(eg: 192.168.0.1)- Ports 47624 and 2300-2400

Ive got my ports all set up and ready to go!! Thank you C K you da man!! Im on SimHQ team speak server now under "EECH TEST" if there are any players out there!!!

Oh im bummed, ports ARE forwarded correctly, server text is GREEN, however it keeps crashing and says there is a "directplay" error. Is this the result of our EECH.INI being mis-matched possibly?

Check this entry in your eech.ini

cgs=1 # force the comms to use DirectPlay guaranteed send instead of its own (0 = off, 1 = on) (def = 1)

Also we havnt tested EECH Multiplay yet using ver 1.13.0 apart from me testing it via LAN connect to server. So the problem may not be at your end.

I just joined a game created by nephillim, so i think your server doesnt want to talk to me Good news tho, multiplayer works in 1.13!!!! HOORRRAAAYYY!!!! Lets get a game going sometime guys!

My end may be broken hehe it was a good training exercise for you anyhow

My regular server PC has hardware issues ATM, i'll sort it out when my regular wingman fix's his v1.30 install.

Good to know youve hooked up with Nephilim, and youve got your install sorted. Perhaps we will hook up some time.

That would be great C K

I've just put a few single player hours in to get back up to speed, I'll be up for some online play this weekend
