yeah it's my bday and since i am a guy i guess i am sour 16(get it?) anyway i wanted to know if the dev.team (if you consider you guys one) can try to fix a tractor so you can host a island on a routed cable connection wit out messing wit port forwarding....i think it is posible cuz i have played games like Tribes2 on a router and i hosted..

anyway something to think about.

Happy Bday :)

Can you host a Tribes2 game and have people join your server from outside WITH YOUR CURRENT router settings ?

Just wondering.


PS : reading your sig, if you're a hacker you should enjoy messing with port forwarding ;)

Yea I have hosted many time wit it and people have connected to it. I have had at most 15 people in it at the same time before my computer bonged down so I KNOW it is possible. I guess it is the way they do there c++ code or macros.


Anyway I hope you guys can figure it out cuz my dad won't port forwatd the portsand won't unlock the router(out of respect i won't hack it).

BTW. I downloaded the game at my school today(I had to,rename it to a different extention and email myself it cuz my school blocks exe,zip,mp3 etc. so i named it .shinola....not that it is shinola but that there is no extension called .shinola...how 'bout .hack..lol)anyway it didn't see a singal island on and it said it was pinging the gateways...i think it is because of the sheer mas amout of routers so....ohwell.

happy bday.

doubt routers would effect the islands. as i was able to play from my tech school over the summer, and that was a computer school, so each of the 50 or so classrooms had a good 20-30 computers in it. and it was all set up so that each classroom was on its own network in the main network. but, something that could easily stop the client from working (which eventually was added in my school) is a firewall server useing Internet Acceleration Services. it can easily be set up to block all but specific basic ports like those used for web access and e-mail
