Hello =)
I'd need some help setting a Server for Age of Empires 2..
My ports are all closed by my ISP but my friend has them all opened
I even checked what ports AoE2 is running on and made sure Firewall dosen't block them
However i never done it over the internet i only experienced LAN partys
So we tryed...He made a server on TCP/IP Serial connection and i tryed to find him with the ingame server search
Even got his External Ip and still didnt find anything
Any tips from any of u would be realy realy nice
I thank u in advance!

if your the one hosting the game, then it's your external ip that matters.

you can check here for additional network info: http://www.geekstogo...ng-t102163.html

It also might be easier if you both of you used xfire and joined the game using it.

You could try a VPN client software like Hamachi(free). Install it on all the computers you wish to network and you can play over it like you would in a LAN environment.

We do it all the time to play DotA even with someone on the other side of the planet

Yeah Some ISP's can be right bums and close your ports but i think if you ring them you can sort something out to open your ports
